Demco baseplate, Demco Stay 'N Play brake system and Roadmaster tow bar. Auxiliary battery charge line as well. 8K tow miles and (1) 12v battery replacement (under warranty), one battery S/W reset post battery replacement... Maverick battery S/W is flakey, and on occasion will not go into...

Rosalie, Just experienced the exact same issue a week ago! Mine is a '24 XLT hybrid. Here's what I learned: My Mav said neutral tow engaged when I entered the vehicle but I know it wasn't as when it was started I could drive it (and did) drive it without issue. In fact, for about 250 miles with...

Bert thank you for this! I'm having the exact same issue you described. Currently sitting at a Ford dealer in Albuquerque. Prior we've driven over 4K miles and no issues (that we were aware of). Dealer is at a loss but has has disconnected the battery to analyze and charge it. Hopefully the...

X3 on the Demco baseplate and light kit. Definitely check out Brad's file, it was immensely helpful! I too have a 2024 And the safety cables supplied and shown in Demco's (or Etrailer?) baseplate videos are grossly misleading. Some opt to not use those cables given the poor fit and questionable...

Bought a Demco baseplate and coupled it with a Demco Stay 'N Play. Lots of great info on MTC about both of these. I spoke extensively with Demco about the over supplying of break pressure with their system on the Mav. I subsequently bought the pressure regulating valve from AndyMark - about...

$1200.00 Ouch! I purchased this one from Amazon. Had it about a month now and seems pretty good thus far. $189.00 w/ coupon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4G93K2C?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Better yet... a competitor (free market!) Comes up with a Maverick like product gets better mileage, is cleaner operating and is 3k or more less! No government mandates and lots of consumers flocking to a better mousetrap. It can happen, it has happened. Government just isn't the answer. Tesla...

Not gibberish at all. Very big and fundamental difference in making ICE vehicles cleaner (air and water impact), more efficient (higher mpg standards) or economical (better tech and lower cost) vs outright trying to ban them (state / Fed mandates to phase out) in favor of something that is...

Completely agree. I have a Tesla, Yukon XL Denali, Maverick (as a towed) and (very soon) a motor home. I love them all and each has a use and purpose. It's total BS that everything should be an EV or a super small fuel efficient compact (and that everyone should be forced into one). As...

Ha,ha! They do seem to be a rarity down here. Kinda funny in that the roads are on the smallish side but duallies and big pick ups are everywhere.

Completely agree! Great base plate, great look but wow, the cables and 6 pin... well let's just say there was no thought to that. On a related note, I am a complete novice here to this, my first coach and towed. I had no idea that the baseplate or wiring kit did not include the 6 pin or cable...

DK, this is probably way too late for you... same issue / question here with mine. Love the fit and looks of the DEMCO plate, but the video and instructions for cables and their placement are inadequate IMHO. As insurance, I drilled and through bolted a third bolt between the two on the bottom...

Thanks Brad! So appreciate your write ups and sharing of info here. It was really helpful. Question: did you install the safety cables? I did, but feel they're more for " show" in the unlikely event that the baseplate detached from the bottom as the cables would slip off the bottom.

Sure did. I was pretty amazed it "clocked" 50 mag nearing KW....

Thanks to all! I finished up the baseplate today. The Demco directions and video were quite helpful as well as all the posts here and on irv2. One thing that was pretty bogus though was on the Demco video. It shows the "wrap" of the safety cable around the base of the baseplate bar. The way they...

Looks great! Quick question. What's the torque spec for the 4 bolts at the bottom of the Demco baseplate?

Doing mine right now. about 4 hours in.

Ugh! Just did the same thing... cleared the work area, shop light, moving pad on the floor The (Mav) surgeon is about to begin

Hi all, my first post here. Picked up a new 24 XLT hybrid about a week ago. Drove it from Tampa to Key West. 36 mpg on the interstate (about 300 miles), about 50 mpg once on the overseas hwy / US 1 ( about 100 miles)! Bought this for a dinghy. Today pulling front end off (yikes) to install the...
