Hello Dan, thanks for reaching out. We can definitely provide the full flat tow system for your 2026 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid. Here is what I recommend:
- Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # DM38CV
- etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,500 lbs # e94ZR
- Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Wireless Monitor - Proportional # DM86VR
The Demco base plate will require the least about of modification, but you will likely need to relocate and recalibrate the adaptive cruise control sensor.
The diode wiring kit will install permanently on the vehicle so when you are ready to tow it will be a simple hook up and go. The charge line is required to keep the vehicle battery from dying while towing. Overall, it will a very solid, clean setup.
You may end up needing a drop hitch like part # BLU28XR to compensate for any height differences between the base plate arms and the hitch on your RV. I also recommend getting a cover # e76FV and hitch lock # e98881 to protect your tow bar.
Will you be installing all this yourself? Or taking it to a shop?
