Full pallet of solar panels 1,056 lbs

[flyjum]

Definitely a heavy load the front end felt floaty. I probably wouldn't want to carry much more especially with the height of the stack and with limited straps. 44 lbs per panel 24 panels

You are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy.

It appears you were okay on weight, but it looks like the load's center of mass was just a bit aft of the rear axle, thus your light front end.

Must have been going downhill and used that gravity assist.

How far did you have to drive with that load?
Any steep up or down hills?
How did it handle?

1,056lbs for the panels, a standard 6ft pallet weighs about another 40lbs, plus the driver (avg 180lbs) and you were probably overweight on truck payload at 1,276. Check your door card for the actual payload capacity for your variant.

My Lobo is rated for 1,076lbs max. That must include the weight of what's in the bed, anything in storage bins or in the backseat, plus the driver & passengers.

Every Maverick has its own load rating sticker, yours appears to be very low. My XLT FWD Hybrid with Lux is listed at 1460 lbs!

2025 XL Hybrid AWD 4K - Max load = 1388, a bit less than @icegradner 's FWD but my model has added some equipment weight and therefore reduced capacity.
Still, either would have been fine for the OP's load.
Apparently the Lobo is the lightweight in the weight capacity class.
Again, the light front end was highly likely to be the weight distribution rather than the load itself, but considering the size of the panels, that loading was the only available option.

That should keep your 12v charged!

One of the first jobs I did with mine right after I got it in Oct 22

'22 Maverick Hybrid XL.
Load rating is 1543 lbs.

Only option was Co-Pilot 360 for $540.
Sticker price came to $22,030 ($19,995, +$540, +$1,495 Delivery).

However, I paid $5k over sticker because in December of 2021, any Maverick was unobtanium and I knew I wanted one.

Since I recently got the random CEL issued fixed, still love the truck.
