Question:

Hello, I have a 2025 Ford maverick hybrid. Would like to flat tow behind a 2021 Winnebago View. What is the best option for bolt on install. I need to purchase the tow bar, face plate and brake controller the complete kit. Who is a recommended factory installer near me in Sherrills Ford NC 28673?

Hey Peter, congrats on the new Maverick!

Here are the best parts to flat tow your 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates item # e74ZR

Baseplate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - item # RM87NQ

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System item # RVI94FR. This system includes the required charge line you'll need to keep your Maverick's battery from dying on your trips. It also works great with the Maverick's hybrid brakes and is compatible with diesel motorhome braking systems.

Please note you will also need the Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM87GR with a permanently installed system like item # RVI94FR. This makes sure your braking system isn't applying when it's not supposed to.

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.

For a local installer in the Sherrills Ford NC area, you'll want to go to the product page of the Roadmaster item # RM87NQ and scroll down below the pics on the left side you'll see a box that says, Locate installers near me. Go ahead and click on it and it will take you to a page where you'll be able to enter your zip code. Once you do this you'll be connected to our network of reputable installers in your area.

Have you ever flat towed a vehicle before?

Thanks Jeffrey for your prompt and detailed response. Well engineered towbar and support hardware for my sprinter based r. v. This will be my first experience flat towing a vehicle behind my R.V.
