In December, we received our new DEMCO baseplate from etrailer.com, and this past Tuesday I had it installed by Lampert Hitch in Denver, the folks who have installed 4 Blue Ox base plates on Jeeps for us and now 2 Demcos on Mavericks. They are not cheap, but they do good work. Yesterday I went...

We upgraded from a 2024 Maverick FWD Hybrid to a 2025 AWD, but our DEMCO baseplate will not fit the new Maverick due to changes made by Ford. Our DEMCO baseplate was equipped with adaptors to attach to our Blue Ox tow bar, and worked great pulling the 2024 Maverick behind our small motorhome...

Our 2024 XLT Hybrid with FWD was really doing just fine for us, plus it was paid off. Did I really need AWD this badly... just because we live in Colorado? Hmmmm Just because we've flat-towed behind a motorhome, we owned 4-door Jeeps - king of flat-tow for years... until we down-sized our...

I recently posted a plea for input regarding a strange array of dash alerts we were getting on our 2024 Maverick XLT Hybrid. Besides a left turn signal that stopped working for a few days, the one most worrisome and persistent warning was the one pictured here. I talked with my Ford...

EDIT: I'm adding to the end of this the resolution of this frustrating problem. Relook at the first photo, then skip to what I've added at the end for the explanation. Be aware, this could happen to any owner, and it had NOTHING to do with being set up to flat-tow! ORIGINAL TEXT.... First...

We recently said goodbye to our 2018 Winnebago 39' Class A diesel pusher RV and our latest Jeep toad, a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, and we just completed our first journey in a tiny Class C motorhome on a Ford Transit chassis flat-towing our new 2024 Maverick hybrid. About 3,500 miles with stops...

We just traded our 2020 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk on a 2024 Maverick XLT Hybrid to use as our motorhome "toad." Big change, but we just switched from a 39' diesel pusher to a Class B+ on a Ford chassis with V6 EcoBoost, so had to lighten the toad a bunch, and since my wife is all done with...
