Thanks for all the information Charles! To flat tow your 2023 Ford Maverick, I recommend the following parts:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e34ZR

Base Plate Kit - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # e64FV

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes item # SM99251

Charge Line - Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Line Kit for Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking Systems item # DM66VR. Please note it only works with Demco Braking Systems.

Brake Light Relay - Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-88400

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.

I attached a couple of pictures below so you can see what the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e64FV looks like installed. I also linked quite a few installation videos so you can see how these parts get set up on your Maverick and how they'll look after they get installed.

If you have any additional questions, go ahead and click on the box that says Add Comment and I'll be happy to answer them.

This has been a great setup for my 2023 Maverick with electronic neutral tow capability. Quick to setup and get on the road, especially with the integrated hidden braking system and the quick-connect to the eTrailer invisible baseplate.
