Question:
Looking for recommendations part numbers for Blue Ox baseplate/electrical/battery disconnect/tow bar/braking system for a 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid AWD Lariat. My biggest concern is the baseplate and not having to modify trim/cut the outer portion of my front panel/bumper. Thank you!

Hey Shawn. I attached a picture below that will show the minimal cuts needed to install the Blue Ox Base Plate item # BLU94ER on your 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid. You'll need to go with Roadmaster wiring. Blue Ox does not have what you need unless you want to drill into your tail lights (you don't). The rest of the parts you will need to flat tow it are listed below:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7420
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-15267
Charge Line - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional item # BLU37TR
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.
