2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid: How 4,000-lb Towing Capacity Serves Fergus Homeowners and Small Businesses

The 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid delivers compact truck capability that fits the daily demands of Fergus, Ontario. With towing capacity reaching 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs) when equipped with the 4K Tow Package, this hybrid pickup handles landscape materials, utility trailers, and equipment transport across Wellington County without the bulk of larger trucks.

For property owners managing acreages around Fergus, hobby farmers tending land near Elora, or contractors moving between job sites in Centre Wellington, the Maverick Hybrid pairs fuel efficiency with real work capability. The 2.5L hybrid powertrain delivers 5.8 L/100 km in the city with all-wheel drive, while the compact 5.5-foot bed accommodates lumber, ATVs, and cargo in spaces where full-size trucks struggle.

Maverick Hybrid Towing Capability

The 4K Tow Package doubles the Maverick Hybrid's base towing capacity, available exclusively on all-wheel drive hybrid models across XL, XLT, and Lariat trims. This package transforms the truck's capability for Fergus residents who need to haul landscape materials from suppliers along Highway 6, tow utility trailers for renovation projects, or transport equipment between properties.

Hybrid Powertrain Delivers Efficiency

The 2.5L hybrid engine maintains fuel efficiency while handling towing duties. Front-wheel drive hybrid models achieve 5.6 L/100 km in city driving with more than 800 kilometres of range, while all-wheel drive hybrid configurations deliver 5.8 L/100 km in the city. This efficiency matters for small business owners tracking fuel costs across multiple daily trips or homeowners managing property maintenance budgets.

All-wheel drive adds traction for Ontario's winter conditions and variable road surfaces common around rural Wellington County. The system delivers grip over snow-covered driveways, muddy access roads, and gravel paths that define property ownership beyond downtown Fergus.

Compact Bed Handles Real Work

The 5.5-foot bed, measured at the floor, extends to six feet with the tailgate down. This design accommodates standard 4x8-foot plywood sheets, with the multi-position tailgate supporting up to 18 full sheets when positioned at the halfway point. The FLEXBED system includes molded pockets that accept cut 2x4s for cargo organization, creating dividers that prevent landscape materials or tools from shifting during transport.

• Maximum payload capacity: 680 kg (1,500 lbs)
• Bed dimensions: 1,382 mm long at floor, 1,353 mm wide between sidewalls
• 110V/400W outlets: One in bed, one in cab for power tools and equipment
• Pre-wired 12V connections for custom lighting and accessories

For contractors working on sites around Fergus and Elora, the dual 110V outlets power battery chargers, small tools, and equipment without requiring a generator. The bed floor sits low enough that most adults can reach items without climbing, while the 680 kg payload capacity handles bags of concrete, mulch, or building materials typically purchased from local suppliers.

Technology Keeps You Connected

FordPass Connect with a built-in 5G modem provides Wi-Fi connectivity for up to 10 devices within 15 metres of the vehicle. This feature supports field work across Wellington County, letting small business owners respond to customer emails, check supplier inventory, or coordinate crews without relying on cellular coverage that drops in rural areas.

The 13.2-inch touchscreen runs SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition, enabling hands-free navigation, text messaging, and phone calls. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto eliminate charging cables, while over-the-air software updates keep vehicle systems current without requiring dealership visits.

Pro Trailer Hitch Assist and Pro Trailer Backup Assist simplify trailer connection and maneuvering. The hitch assist uses the rear camera and corner radars to align the hitch with the trailer coupler, controlling speed, steering, and braking automatically. The backup assist lets drivers guide trailers using a knob rather than learning counter-intuitive steering techniques.

Practical Design for Ontario Conditions

The 360-Degree Camera provides split-view displays of the area directly in front of and behind the vehicle, with cross-traffic views for tight parking spaces in downtown Fergus or crowded material yards. Front-wheel drive models offer a 180-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost engine option, while the hybrid remains standard on XL, XLT, and Lariat trims.

All 2025 Maverick models include Ford Co-Pilot360 technology: Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane-Keeping Aid, rear view camera, and auto LED high-beam headlamps. Lariat and Tremor trims add Intelligent Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane Centering, and Speed Sign Recognition for easier highway driving between Guelph and Owen Sound.

Which Maverick Hybrid Configuration Fits Your Needs?

Fergus homeowners maintaining properties typically find the base hybrid with front-wheel drive sufficient for seasonal tasks: mulch delivery in spring, lumber runs for deck repairs in summer, and firewood hauling in fall. The 907 kg (2,000 lbs) base towing capacity handles small utility trailers and equipment transport around town.

Small business owners and hobby farmers managing land outside Fergus benefit from the all-wheel drive hybrid with 4K Tow Package. This configuration handles heavier utility trailers loaded with landscape equipment, small excavators on flatbed trailers, or livestock trailers for farms around Elora and West Montrose. The 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs) capacity covers most work trailer applications without requiring a full-size truck.

Contractors running businesses in Wellington County find the hybrid's fuel efficiency reduces operating costs compared to gas-only trucks, while the towing capacity and payload handle daily material delivery and equipment transport. The compact size navigates residential streets and construction sites where larger trucks create access challenges.
