Maverick 2.4i 5dr 94

25-04-2009, 21:36

Hi,
we put a deposit down today on a Ford Maverick 2.4i with the view of using it for 2 horse trailer. Just getting a little confused on the towing spec - realise now should have looked at the plate on the car.
However would any of you have the towing spec on this model please to put my wife's (and me) mind at rest.

thanks and regards
Matt

boy, you guys are fast....and 10 pm on a Sat night. It's a manual. Just reading through all the replys now. Many thanks!!

it will pull it, especial if it is a manual, I have towed many horse and other trailers with a T2 no problems, a diesel manual would be my prefered option but a petrol will do the job well enough.
