Ford Maverick towing capacity: what can Pensacola drivers pull?
A Ford Maverick tows what its engine and tow package allow, and the 4K Tow Package is the choice that moves the number. Ford rates the 2.0L EcoBoost AWD and the 2.5L Hybrid AWD at 4,000 pounds only when the truck carries that package, and every other Maverick configuration in Ford’s figures is rated at 2,000 pounds. Group 1 Ford of Pensacola, formerly World Ford, sells the Maverick, so a driver can match the truck to the load and get it serviced without leaving Escambia County.

How much can a Ford Maverick tow in Pensacola?
A Maverick’s towing rating depends on its engine and on whether it has the 4K Tow Package, and Ford’s published figures set each number. We sell new Maverick models at 6397 Pensacola Blvd, and the build of each truck decides which rating applies. Ford’s 2026 model-year figures are below, and each one holds for the build it names.
| Configuration | Max towing (lbs) |
|---|---|
| 2.0L EcoBoost AWD, with 4K Tow Package | 4,000 |
| 2.5L Hybrid AWD, with 4K Tow Package | 4,000 |
| 2.0L EcoBoost FWD | 2,000 |
| 2.5L Hybrid FWD | 2,000 |
| Lobo AWD | 2,000 |
| Tremor AWD | 2,000 |
The 4,000-pound rating applies only to the AWD builds with the extra-cost package. Every other configuration in the figures is rated at 2,000 pounds when properly equipped, so the package is the line between a light trailer and a heavier one.
Which Ford Maverick engine tows the most?
The 2.0L EcoBoost and the 2.5L Hybrid tie at 4,000 pounds, and both reach that rating only on AWD with the 4K Tow Package. Engine choice does not raise the rating by itself, because the package does. The EcoBoost does carry more engine output, with 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque, against 184 combined horsepower for the hybrid.
A driver who tows regularly and wants the most engine output picks the 2.0L EcoBoost AWD with the 4K Tow Package. Without the package, the FWD 2.0L EcoBoost and the FWD hybrid are both rated at 2,000 pounds.
What does the Maverick 4K Tow Package include?
The 4K Tow Package is extra-cost equipment that lifts a Maverick AWD to a 4,000-pound rating on both the 2.0L EcoBoost and the 2.5L Hybrid. Ford’s order code for it is 53Q, and it is not standard on the truck. Without it, the rating stays at the 2,000-pound level Ford publishes for those builds.

Can a Ford Maverick tow a boat or camper near Pensacola?
A Maverick can tow a small boat or a light camper when the loaded trailer stays under the rating for its build. Weigh the trailer with the boat, gear and fuel loaded, and check that number against the figure for your truck before you buy. A 2,000-pound rating covers only the lighter loads, and the 4,000-pound rating on the AWD builds with the 4K Tow Package opens the door to heavier boats and campers.
Trailer weight is only part of the picture. The rating tells you the most the truck can pull, and the payload tells you how much weight the truck can carry on top of its own passengers and cargo.
How much does tongue weight and payload limit what a Maverick can pull?
Tongue weight rides on the truck, so it counts against the payload alongside passengers and cargo. The towing number is only one of the limits Ford publishes for the Maverick. Ford lists a 1,500-pound maximum payload on the 2.0L EcoBoost AWD and the 2.0L EcoBoost FWD when properly equipped.
Work the two numbers together. A Maverick can be rated to pull 4,000 pounds and still have less payload room once you add passengers and cargo. The 2.0L EcoBoost AWD has a curb weight of 3,652 pounds, and the FWD has a curb weight of 3,517 pounds.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ford Maverick’s towing capacity without the tow package?
Ford’s 2026 figures put the 2.0L EcoBoost FWD, the 2.5L Hybrid FWD, the Lobo AWD and the Tremor AWD at 2,000 pounds when properly equipped. The 2.0L EcoBoost AWD and the 2.5L Hybrid AWD reach 4,000 pounds only with the extra-cost 4K Tow Package. Only a truck built with that package carries the 4,000-pound rating.
Does the Ford Maverick hybrid have a tow package?
If the package is not on the truck you are looking at, that truck does not carry the 4,000-pound rating.
Can I add a tow package to a Maverick after I buy it?
Our parts department sells genuine OEM Ford parts and accessories, and our service center installs them. Ask our parts department whether the 4K Tow Package can go on the truck you have in mind, since the 4,000-pound rating applies only to a truck built with it.
How do I find a Maverick with the tow package in stock?
We sell new Maverick models at 6397 Pensacola Blvd, and vehicles shown at other locations can be brought to us within a week of your request. Ask our sales team for a Maverick built with the 4K Tow Package, and compare the build against the rating for the load you plan to pull.
Is the Maverick a good truck for Pensacola driving?
The hybrid is the fuel-economy pick. The EPA rates the hybrid FWD at 42 city, 35 highway and 38 combined, against 23, 32 and 26 for the gasoline FWD. The gasoline 2.0L EcoBoost gives up some economy in exchange for the rating and engine output the AWD builds carry. In a May 2026 Google review, Jenifer H. wrote: “We had a great experience at Group 1 Ford. Marco was amazing to work with and the finance team of Sonic & Westley were fantastic. Very happy with our 2026 Maverick in my husband’s dream color, orange!”
