Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD Towed a 3,014-Pound Camper, But the 355-Pound Tongue Weight Is the Real Story
Original source: Torque News

A 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat Hybrid AWD with the 4K Tow Package towed a single-axle camper weighing 3,014 pounds dry on 55-mph roads. After adding 450 pounds of cargo to the trailer and 200 pounds in the truck bed, the total combination approached the vehicle's limits. The tongue weight of 355 pounds, near the 400-pound maximum, raised concerns about using a weight-distributing hitch on the unibody Maverick. The owner opted for a sway bar kit instead.

Ford F-150: Towing 6,500-lb camper triggers limp mode in high-mileage EcoBoost engines

A Ford F-150 EcoBoost 2.7L V6 with 160,000 miles entered limp mode while towing a 6,500-lb Jayco camper. Three mechanics and a dealership found no fault after the P2099 code cleared when the ignition was cycled. The cause is condensation in the charge air cooler, which, during sudden acceleration on a grade, enters the combustion chambers, causing misfires and triggering a zero-boost limp mode.

Three Tow Vehicles Tear Front Cap Off Stuck Motorhome in Utah

In Utah, a Class A motorhome stuck in soft sand was towed by three vehicles simultaneously, causing the entire front cap—including headlights and dash assembly—to tear off. Footage by Anthony Joseph Pascarella garnered over 123,000 likes within two days. Replacing the cap can cost tens of thousands of dollars, and liability becomes complex if the rescue was performed by fellow campers rather than licensed operators.
