2022-2024 Ford Maverick Tow Rigs - anyone running one?

[FischAutoTechGarten]

Folks,
Sold my anemic 06 Nissan Frontier XE 4cyl 2wd 5spd Kingcab. It struggled to pull my small pop-up camper at elevation and my wife will no longer operate a stick shift.
We purchased a 2024 Ford Maverick Lariat EcoBoost w/ AWD and 4K Tow.

Will be building a 5x8 utility trailer from a kit that will serve a purpose until I retire soon... Then it will become the foundation of a CLC TearDrop build. It will have the Integrated Storage, so a bit more frontal area than the stock CLC build.

I'll also have a cap, the A.R.E MX high rise.

So, looking for anecdotes from those of you pulling lightweight campers with a Maverick. Doesn't matter if it's Hybrid, EcoBoost, FWD, AWD, 2K or 4K Tow. How is it? Do you also have a cap installed?

pricing update as of today 15Jan25 = just read an article and for 2025 the Maverick's starting $$$ just was raised +$3015 to $27990 now. It started at $19995 in 2022, than for 2024 started at $24885 = now + $3015 more............ = still a lower starting $$$ than the other mid-sized trucks in the market = but their getting closer..........

No problems pulling up to 3,000 pounds so far with my '23 Ford Maverick with the 4K factory tow package.

We started with our 23 Maverick Hybrid (Cactus Gray) towing a Runaway RangeRunner, then sold the Runaway and bought a 25 InTech Flyer Explore, towing with a 24 Mav AWD, (Atlas Blue), 4K Tow Package and added Firestone Coil Rite Air Helper Springs and Cooper Discoverer R&T All Terrain Tires. Either Mav towed fine with the trailers, but the 24 AWD has more power and the 4K package in tow mode is great. I have a Softopper on both.
