Ford Maverick Hybrid Towed a Camper 5,000 Miles at 16.2 MPG, but Its Oil-Life Monitor Told a Harder Story
Original source: Torque News

A Ford Maverick Hybrid with the 4K Tow Package towed a 16-foot Bushwhacker Plus travel trailer weighing about 2,400 pounds over 5,000 miles, achieving a reported 16.2 mpg. However, the oil-life monitor dropped to 8% after 3,400 miles since the last oil change, suggesting an interval of about 3,500 miles under severe towing conditions. The route included 10% grades in the Bighorn Mountains and high elevations, increasing engine load.
