What would you tow?!

*Slightly more bed area than a Maverick. 5’ bed in the Slate vs 4.5’ in the Maverick. Really size wise the Slate is pretty close to a single cab Maverick.

I would be shocked to see a single cab Maverick

When I went to an event last year where they had an open top style one, that’s the size it seemed like to me. Before seeing it in person I didn’t really have an idea of scale, even with the comparisons on the web site, but after seeing it in person and having sat in Mavericks at shows, that’s the best comparison I can give. Which I think is a great size, not a penalty box inside, but relative to what’s out there today fairly small.

Isn't there a precedent that tow rating changes with # of motors? Cybertruck RWD had a 7500 pound tow rating while the dual motor and Cyberbeast have 11,000 tow rating. Rivian dual motor has 7700 pound tow rating while the truck and quad motors have a 11,000 pound tow rating. I know a 7500 pound rating is a far cry from 1000 pound but perhaps when Slate offers a dual motor version in a subsequent model year it will offer a more respectable tow rating.

Based on those number it seems reasonable that a dual-motor AWD Slate could have a 1,500-pound rating, which would be welcomed by many.

You mean 1500 lb?

Ha! Corrected. Thanks for the heads-up.
