Question:
I just purchased a 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid and setting it up to flat tow. Do any of the base plates install and leave the lower shutters functional?

Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. We do have base plates that are compatible with the 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid, such as the Roadmaster # RM87NQ. This will require extensive modification/removal of the lower air shutter. This will be the case for any base plate. Roadmaster does cover this step in their instructions which I have linked for you below.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.
