What tongue weight should I plan for a 2024 Maverick?

At the cited 4,000 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 400 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.

2024 Ford Maverick

Ford lists a maximum of 4,000 lb on a conventional hitch for the 2024 Ford Maverick in its 2024 Maverick Towing Guide. That rating requires the 2.0L EcoBoost with the 4,000-pound Tow Package. Ford's hybrid row is 2,000 pounds at a 6,045-pound GCWR, not 4,000. Most configurations are rated lower: 4 of the 5 transcribed conventional-hitch chart rows for 2024 are below 4,000 lb. Across 5 manufacturer chart rows for 2024, ratings run conventional 2,000 lb to 4,000 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase

The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.

An illustrative 10 percent of the 4,000 lb conventional maximum is 400 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
