Is this a dealer installed option anyway? After delivery

Nope
The trailer hitch and wiring are installed at the factory on the line before the bumper is mounted and quite a deal at $100.
Sadly to have it installed after the fact is going to run anywhere from around $400 to $800
I feel hitch package should be standard on every Maverick and a -$100 delete from the invoice if you don't want it.

I had a 2005 Trailblazer and the hitch was part of the frame. If the Maverick was made with the hitch as part of the vehicle structure, it would probably be $10 worth of steel and less assembly. Puzzling why it's not standard.

A lot of people bought Mavericks not for its' truck-like capabilities, but because it was a less-expensive vehicle and available as a high-mpg hybrid. They could care less if it could tow.

The $100 cost is a no-brainer, but here we are, 4 model years later, and dealers and people still are not checking the box.

I had one picked out but it did not have the hitch. The quoted install was $800.00 to $1000.00. I found another one that had the hitch from the factory, it also was better equipped than the original one. I’m glad I looked around.

If you haven't been scheduled for production yet you can add it to the order

All mavs should have factory hitch . It would definitely be a deal breaker for me if Mav didn't have hitch .

For MY25 all trims now have the base trailer hitch as standard equipment EXCEPT the XL trim where it is still an option to select.
IMO, the Dumbest mistake EVER is not selecting that option for anyone ordering a MY25 XL Maverick

I recommend contacting your dealer because if I understand Ford's process you may still be able to add it if the truck hasn't actually started the production cycle.
Check out this thread, the first post explained the process

Thank you, just reached out, from what I’m seeing is even in production many are not seeing it built status for quite some time after it says production week

How is that?
If all Mavericks were built with standard trailer hitch that could be $100 delete option?
