>Is that tow package on the Maverick good enough to keep your transmission and etc cool without derating power output from overheat on a hill?
The transmission on the hybrid Maverick is probably the most bombproof part of it. It’s an ECVT; its simplistic concept with few moving parts (comparatively) lends itself to very high durability. But the eco boost? It’s an 8 speed automatic/hand grenade with the pin pulled.

I looked up the tow package on Fords website. It’s not just a brake controller and a receiver. It includes a transmission oil cooler and a different ring and pinion ratio. The eco boost includes a larger radiator, presumably because it’s a turbo so the cooling system has a different duty cycle.

The tow package is a $750 option so I’d suspect most people opt for it.
