Has anyone installed the DEMCO Baseplate on a 2024 yet?

[BradnChristine]

While I do not believe there is any difference in fitment, and can verify that the DEMCO baseplate fits a 2023 well, I am getting a lot of folks asking me about putting it on a 2024.

DEMCO is still being very shy about it, saying they only know that their baseplate will fit the 2023, and cannot guarantee it will fit a 2024.

Since Roadmaster's baseplate is listed as fitting 2022-2024 Mavericks, and they use the same mounting bolt holes as Demco, I would feel comfortable in ordering one for a 2024. But I'd like to hear real-world experience from someone who mounts one on a 2024.

Please tell the group if you install one in a 2024.

ALTERNATELY, if someone takes the fascia off of their 2024, like to do the Raptor-like grill, I would appreciate a measurement of the bolt spacing on the lower part of the truck. My 2023 is 48-3/8", center to center.

What has changed on the 2024?

Answer: Nothing so why wouldn't it?

Demco has not yet examined a 2024 Maverick, so they are not guaranteeing fitment when folks try to buy it.

Were it me, I'd go ahead and risk buying it, as I am 99% sure my 2023 baseplate would also fit on a 24. I have no reason to take the fascia off my 2024 to be able to tell folks that I am positive it would fit.

If I knew that the 2024 measurement was also 48-3/8", then I would be positive that it would fit.

I have the Roadmaster base plate on my 23 XLT. My 24 Lariat has been built and being shipped. Plan to move over from 23 to 24. Roadmaster will fit both. I happened to talk to a Blue OX guy and he verifies that the 23 Blue Ox baseplate will fit 24.

Hi. where I get my RV serviced in Washington installs baseplates and I asked them if they could install one on my 2024 Maverick. She looked it up and when it didn’t say if it would work or not called her rep with Demco. He said they were in the midst of installing the system on a couple of 24’s and should have the results shortly. this was about a month ago and I haven’t heard from her despite sending her a couple of reminders on it. If I get a reply will update this post.

Sorry, but there is no way I would ever recommend Blue Ox or Roadmaster for the Maverick. See the other posts.

Thank you. I've heard Demco was close to "approving" their baseplate for a 2024. Hope they get to it soon.

I just installed one on my 2024 Maverick Lariat, it fit perfectly.

Can't give you the bolt measurement as front facia is back on.

Congratulations...you are the first 2024 Demco. Did you do it? Did the holes line up without modification? Exciting!

Everything lined up perfectly, I used your install notes and it made for a easy install. Running the wires to the tail-lights was the hardest part for me as I didn't have ramps or a lift.

I will be installing a RVibrake Shadow next week.

Hi Terry! Wife and I are heading to Vancouver Wa next month to get Roadmaster put on our 23 XLY Hybrid. I used to do all this myself, but age is catching me fast. We will use most of our Roadmaster parts we had on our Jeep that we had. Going to be nice pulling that behind motorhome and then riding in some comfort at our destinations. Jeep was fun... but not THAT fun! We are in Idaho also, Fruitland, 35 miles west of Boise, but you knew that. Where you at?

That's great to hear. There are a few folks on the Facebook Maverick group waiting for Demco to "bless" their baseplate fitting a 2024, as Demco was refusing to commit that it would fit yet.
