Best Maverick Towing & Hauling Accessories

The towing gear that makes a Ford Maverick safer and easier to tow with — hitches, tow mirrors, brake controllers, and bed accessories sized for a compact truck.

Towing exposes weak links fast. These accessories make hauling with a Maverick safer, easier, and less stressful — ranked by how much they matter. Use the eBay Motors buttons for used and OEM parts, and the category links for new gear.

1. The right hitch

Everything starts with a properly rated hitch. Match the class and rating to your heaviest planned load, and never exceed your Maverick’s tow rating (about 2,000 lb standard, up to ~4,000 lb with the factory tow package). A Class II or light Class III receiver covers the small trailers, campers, and gear hauls a Maverick is built for.

2. Trailer brake controller

If your trailer has electric brakes, a brake controller isn’t optional — it’s what lets you stop a loaded trailer safely. Many newer Mavericks have one built in; older trucks often need one added.

3. Tow mirrors

Extended tow mirrors dramatically improve visibility down the sides of a wide trailer. They’re one of the most appreciated upgrades the first time you back into a tight spot.

4. Weight distribution and sway control

When you’re near the top of the Maverick’s tow range, a weight-distribution setup with sway control keeps the truck level and stable at highway speed — a real safety and comfort improvement on a lighter compact truck.

5. Bed protection and organization

A tonneau cover, bed liner, or storage setup protects your cargo and keeps gear secure on long hauls. Small additions, big quality-of-life gains.

Get the hitch and brake controller right first — they’re the safety foundation — then add mirrors and bed gear for comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a brake controller to tow with my Maverick?
If your trailer has electric brakes, yes — a brake controller is required to activate them and is essential for safe stopping. Lighter trailers within the Maverick's range often don't have them, but check your trailer. Some newer Mavericks with the tow package support an integrated controller; other trucks need one added.
What hitch class does a Maverick need?
It depends on your trailer's loaded weight and your Maverick's rated capacity — typically around 2,000 lb standard, up to about 4,000 lb with the factory tow package. A Class II or light Class III receiver covers most small utility trailers, campers, and kayak or bike setups. Always match the hitch rating to your heaviest planned load and never exceed the truck's tow rating. Fifth-wheel and gooseneck hitches don't apply to a compact unibody truck like the Maverick.
