Question:
Will this hitch fit the new 2027 Ford Maverick? I need one for a vertical bike rack and the other options say they're not compatible. Thank you

It sure is Steve and congrats on your new SUV! The Blue Ox Hitch item # BLU25QV does indeed fit your new 2027 Ford Maverick. It is definitely compatible with a vertical bike rack as well.
The Blue Ox Hitch item # BLU25QV is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs so it'll have plenty of capacity for your bike rack. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts completely behind the rear bumper. This allows the 2" receiver to stick out in the same place the factory one would. This not only looks better but also helps with ground clearance, which is extremely important with the low hanging vertical racks.
I attached a picture below along with the installation instructions so you can see what this hitch looks like installed and how to get it set up.
What model vertical bike rack do you have?
