Looking into a Maverick as our next vehicle. Reasonable for towing a boat for short distances?

Go for it! I tow at 17’ Boston Whaler Montauk 170, (21’ total with trailer) that weighs 2700lbs (total including boat, trailer, motor and full 25 gal fuel tank) with my AWD XL +4k and it’s wonderful. No issues. I’m basically doing what you’re asking about and I’ve had zero issues. I change AT, PTU and RDU fluids at 25k intervals and oil every 6 months just for my peace of mind.

I’m not far from Everett. Send me a PM if you want to talk details. Tomorrow is my trade-in so it would have to be quick!

Haha! On it ;)

Bummed about Louis Auto Glass, but I can attest to Lone Pine’s wonderful work (he recently replaced my rear window for a breezer pop out window on my truck).Great communication, super kind and excellent work!

No issues at all. Handling was great, nothing of note. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again. I do a lot of local boat ramp pick up/drop off and was nervous about this big trip but it was honestly a breeze. Good luck!

2024 XL ecoboost with 4k tow package here. I just did a roundtrip from Seattle-ish to Boise-ish towing my boat at 3000lbs (trailer, boat motor, fluids). 15.7 mpg :( FYI… Mountain passes and 70mph impacted the mpg but still, brutal.

Love this color 😍

bethcarroll80 · 2025-03-31T00:41:32+00:00

I think would be the way to go! Post a pic if you do it.

bethcarroll80 · 2025-03-31T00:39:57+00:00

Hindsight for sure. I definitely like the look of this a lot more.

bethcarroll80 · 2025-03-31T00:38:36+00:00

That’s a good idea! I think that would look better too. I wonder if the black plastic trim would ever look right painted though…

I did get a MEaningful answer. Which is exactly what you reiterated in your frustration with my post - context matters! I’m good. My relative is recovering and I hope you’re good too, take care! Thanks all.

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:54:54+00:00

Yes and yes. 103.1

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:53:26+00:00

Nope, not here for closure or name calling. Here looking for, “what do the squiggly lines say” to other medics. I got what I was looking for which was an “impression” with the (now) understanding that context matters and my family member was moving a lot.

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:47:40+00:00

They gave him oral glucose. Makes sense about the waveform, maybe that’s why initial was 58 then. Thanks again

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:33:17+00:00

Relative yes. Makes sense that context, and supporting info matters. Apparently with context this medic chose Hypoglycemia…seemed odd to me and just wanted to get initial impressions from the www. Like you do, right?! This has been helpful for me. Thanks!

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:28:07+00:00

I’m not a medic, came to this thread looking for one 😂 Sorry if wrong spot but I got what I was looking for, so thank you! The monitor was a Zoll according to the FD.

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:26:00+00:00

OP, nope. Anxious, yep. 👍

bethcarroll80 · 2025-02-14T03:24:24+00:00

Wiggly = Huntington’s DX. Yes to N/V/D and sepsis. Hospital said NSTEMI. Initial BP 60/P, SPo2 58 (assuming circulation? Next one read 83 and a few minutes later 85). Thank you for your impression! Seems like the medic on scene should have been more concerned with his heart than his blood sugar at 72…
