Has anyone seen the specs for the tongue weight when the hybrid is equipped with the factory hitch?

On occasion, I use a basket (a/k/a hitch haul) to increase bed size with my Tacoma and would certainly want (probably need) to continue this with a Maverick.

I know the tow weight is limited to 2,000 pounds but I assume the tongue weight of the hitch will be 400 pounds.

Can anyone confirm?

Thanks, that was my fear, not sure if anyone really knows at this point but thanks for the information. I load gas cans and an ice chest on the hitch rack. I might exceed (or approach) 200# counting the weight of the rack and contents...

Isn’t it 400lbs? Ford shows 400 max regardless of whether or not it’s an eco boost or hybrid? I’d imagine they use the same hitch with the same body attachment

That says 400lbs but the footnote says "when properly equipped." No details on if properly equipped means with a tow hitch installed or with the 4K max tow package
