Hey Brad,
We can get your 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid set up to be flat towed, and I'll give you the most economical options that will work for your truck, though there's going to be a pretty good cost to it no matter what. Just wanted to get out front on that so there weren't any surprised. Now, as for the base plates, the least expensive option - and one that will keep a clean look on your Maverick - is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM97RR.
The # RM97RR has removable arms and is behind the bottom fascia on your Maverick, and someone would have to look for it to really notice. Along with that, here are the rest of the part that are needed, and they're the least expensive overall:
- etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates (Includes Safety Chains) # e74ZR
- Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
