ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

[Harvey]

We would use it to tow a mower or our teardrop camper.

From what I understand, originally there was the 2WD hybrid and AWD and the tow package was only available with the gasser. I heard that changed with the newer models and that was confirmed by our local dealer. They said you can, in fact get an AWD hybrid with the tow package. They don’t exist on a lot somewhere they have to be ordered and built.

The tow kit option only costs something like 750 bucks.

Ideally you never want to be towing at a vehicles limit. As Camp pointed out, lots of wear and tear and issues with stoppage.

All the additional packages are pretty cheap on the Ford. The Lariat package has a bunch of things I want, including ACC cruise control, but it has leather seats, don't want.

I don't imagine buying a trailer or towing. The UTV I'm looking at is under 1000 lbs, so if I did decide to buy a trailer and tow it, it would probably be ok.

I wouldn't to much more than a 4 wheeler with that. IMO, towing capacity isn't everything. I'm more concerned with stopping abilities. I couldn't imagine towing 4000 lbs with a Maverick. Sure, it would pull it, but would it be able to stop it in an emergency situation? I'm thinking not.
