asked by: Garry R
Expert Reply:
Yes, it does Gary! The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU86HR has been confirmed to fit the 2025 Ford Maverick hybrid. I have linked a installation video below along with the instructions so you can see how to get it set up. If you have any additional questions go ahead and reach out in the comment box below.
Here are the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7380
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-152-98146-7
Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
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.

Hi Jerred. Thanks so much for letting me know. I assume that is the case for the other manufacturers as well. I would greatly appreciate it if you have a way of letting me know when (if?) they come out with one that fits. I have a Blue Ox tow bar that I bought from you for my Wrangler so I would be good with any compatible baseplate.

Hi Jerred, Thanks for your earlier answer. I just want to make sure that this will work with my specific vehicle - a 2025 Maverick hybrid Lariat since the front of the Lariat appears different than the XL or XLT. It also has the black package. Not sure if that matters or not. Thanks. Harry
