Great question, Jeremy. The Shadow 2 brake system # RVI94FR is compatible with many hybrids, and the 2023 Ford Maverick uses electric boost or regular vacuum boost brakes, both of which are compatible with the Shadow 2. The only reason a vehicle wouldn't work with this system is if it used the rare hydroboost brake booster that ties into the steering pump hydraulic lines.

Where do you plan on taking the Maverick for the next journey?

Hey Dellos, the Blue Ox base plate and tow bars are in my opinion the easiest to use and are also very well made so I would recommend the Blue Ox part #BX1139 with the tow bar part #BX7420. Then for lighting the Curt kit part #C96JR is a very simple…
