If you like your vehicle to look stock when it’s not being towed, this setup keeps it that way. The hidden bracket design tucks the mounting points behind the grille so they’re barely visible once the arms are out. Just pull and twist to remove them, and nothing sticks out from the front end. It keeps things tidy and protects against scrapes and wear when you’re driving around town.
Getting ready to tow doesn’t have to be slow or complicated. The removable arms drop into the sockets and lock in place with a simple twist, creating a solid connection in seconds. When you’re done, they come out just as easily. It’s a straightforward setup that makes connecting your tow bar quick and repeatable with no extra hassle.
Road trips can pile on miles fast, and this base plate is built to handle them. The all-steel frame bolts directly to your vehicle’s chassis for a strong and secure mount—no welding required. Its black powder coat finish resists corrosion and road debris, keeping it looking good while standing up to rough weather and long hauls.
This kit is purpose-built for Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars like the Nighthawk, Falcon, and Blackhawk models. That means you get a perfect fit and solid operation without worrying about adapters or mismatched connections. It’s designed so everything aligns the way it should for smooth towing performance.
You don’t need special tools or fabrication work to get this installed. The base plate mounts directly to factory points on the frame with standard hardware—no welding required. It’s a manageable project if you like doing your own work, giving you a dependable towing foundation once it’s bolted up and torqued down.
This base plate kit allows you to attach a tow bar to your vehicle, adapting it for flat towing behind a motorhome. Confirmed fit applies only to hybrid models of the Ford Maverick as indicated in the dataset. No additional adapters or components are included unless explicitly specified.

I installed the tow bar myself with the help of my neighbor. The videos from ETrailer helped a lot even though they were not of the 2025 Maverick. The instructions from Road Master were good as well. I liked the clean look of this tow bar and that is why I bought it. How ever I didnt like all the cutting that I had to do on a new truck. The only thing I did wrong was install the main tow bar upside down but when installing the front facia of the truck I knew something wasnt right, but it was a easy fix. I would say that when installing this unit dont be in a hurry its going to take some time. I have towed my 2025 Lariat Maverick all-wheel drive hybrid 4000 without a problem. Would i buy it again, yes I am using the Blue ox braking system and I did you the Road Master light kit, The taillights and running light are incandescent not LED. The only part that is LED is the outside edge of the taillight.

Super Duper customer support! I had an issue with a product and Lauren got me all set up on what I needed to get the job done in a fast time frame.
“Kim” was awesome with helping me get the correct Roadmaster base plate for my 2025 Maverick in a very timely manner!!!!!!! I needed it before leaving on a 2month trip out of the country.
E-Trailer came through. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
I purchased this for my 2025 Ford maverick hybrid. Everything fit perfectly. I did have a local body shop install it luckily my friend owned the body shop. He said it would not have been that easy to do in my driveway. It took them approximately 5 1/2 hours to install it. This was the first one they did. It looks great on the front of my truck absolutely not very visible. E Trailer had this shipped to me approximately three or four days after ordering it they did a good job and I would buy from them again. Isabel helped me over the phone with this order. She went over every option I had. she is absolutely a very good sales rep for them.
I installed this on my 2025 Maverick and the etrailer video's really helped with installation. Don't think I would have installed this myself if it had not been for the videos. I'm not done yet still need to put front fascia back on
Great fit for my 2025 Maverick
As usual you bracket is first class, fits well looks good and the truck was still there when I got where I was going. I did get lazy in my old age and paid to have it installed. I picked the 3 closet shops from the list you provided. I compared prices, location and facilities. I picked Auer's RV Service in Georgetown, Texas. I was very happy with their work, they were on time, on budget, and friendly. I'd give them 5 Stars.
This item fit nicely and was easy to install. I like the fact that there wasn't any trimming needed on the fascia. When the arms are removed, the plate is well hidden.
Following the video on You tube step by step made it relatively easy to install. Time consuming, but easy.
A lift or car ramps would make the install more comfortable to do.
Little tuff to install, mounting holes not a perfect match. After install works great.
I think Roadmaster products are pretty good. Thanks to eTrailer video combined with the printed instructions I didn’t have much problem installing.
It’s a super strong and wonderfully engineered addition to my new Maverick pickup.. Couldn’t be happier with it!!!!! Well done!!!!
I am extremely satisfied with the installation and performance of this baseplate on my 2025 Ford Maverick hybrid. I was a little apprehensive as Ford changed the design of the front end on the 2025 model years and the older baseplates would not fit the new version. I hired a local shop to perform the installation and while there were some minor issues they managed to get everything in place exactly as designed. After one year of use I am very happy with the setup.
A clean look on my 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid after following e-trailer's detailed installation instructions.
