How Much Can a Ford Maverick Hybrid FWD Tow?
2,000 LB MAXIMUM LOADED TRAILER WEIGHT
A properly equipped 2025–2026 Maverick 2.5L Hybrid FWD is rated for up to 2,000 lb of loaded trailer weight. Ford’s 4,000-lb Hybrid path requires AWD plus the factory 4K Tow Package; adding a receiver to FWD does not create that rating.
Verify the exact configuration before ordering.
Ford’s current Maverick towing table separates powertrain, drive type and factory package. Hybrid FWD is 2,000 lb. Hybrid AWD is also 2,000 lb unless built with 4K Tow `53Q`.
A trailer advertised at 1,700 lb dry can exceed 2,000 lb after propane, battery, water and cargo. The truck’s occupants, bed cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight must also fit the payload label on that exact vehicle.

Bottom line
Use 2,000 lb as the Hybrid FWD ceiling and leave practical margin for uncertain cargo. If the planned loaded trailer approaches or exceeds that number, select a factory 4K-equipped AWD truck rather than attempting a hardware retrofit.
