Hello Robert. For flat towing your new 2024 Ford maverick Hybrid I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM97RR. Most of the Maverick base plates will install fairly similarly, and you will be fully removing the front bumper for installation. I like the Roadmaster base plates for a few reasons. The custom fitted brackets make installation straightforward, the twist lock arms are convenient and easy to use, and the base plate has pre-welded attachments for your electrical plug and safety chain hookups. Aside from the base plate, here are the rest of the parts I recommend for your flat tow setup:

- etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates - RV Mount - 6,000 lbs # e74ZR

- Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR

- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25

- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251

- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400

As with any flat tow setup, I do suggest that you check your owners manual and thoroughly read and understand all information pertaining to flat towing. Feel free to comment below if you have further questions.

@TerryC No, the Roadmaster Even Brake # RM-9400 cannot be used on a 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid. Roadmaster specifically states that this brake system cannot be used on hybrids or other cars with continuous-power-assist brakes.
