Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2023 Ford Maverick
Question:
I have a 2021 Airstream Atlas motorhome on MB Sprinter 3500 chassis and I want to flat tow my 2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid. I need the complete system and want Blue OX baseplate, Blue Ox towing bar, and Blue Ox Patriot braking system. Please advise me of all equipment and model numbers that I need to flat tow my Maverick. Thanks.

To flat tow your 2023 Ford Maverick with a Blue Ox set up you will need the follow parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7380
Base Plate Kit - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - item # BLU88XR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System - item # BLU37TR and Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-88400
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
