  1. Flat Towing the 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid

    We upgraded our 2024 Maverick to a 2024 Ranger XLT...THEN to a 2025 Ranger Lariat 4X4 V6. It can tow the 2023 Maverick as well as be towed if I want to add a baseplate. We probably won't, tho, as the Ranger is a bit heavy for our LTV. Really loving its memory seats, soft surfaces and other...
  2. Improved the ugly front end on 2026 Maverick XLT w/ black wrap on 2025+ facelift bumper

    Somebody must have been a Gumby fan...like the tennis shoes fan who made the first Lariat seat color combo.
  3. Flat Towing the 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid

    The manual you are quoting is the first edition that was in error. Go to Ford dot com and get the second d version, that verifies the 2025 AWD is flat-towable.
  4. Has anyone used the new "Demco" baseplate for flat tow yet?

    See my earlier posts in this thread for most answers. If he has more questions, I'm happy to answer. I did my 2023 Lariat. I have no info about the 2025 Gumby Maverick, tho. Only the 2022-2024.
  5. 2025 AWD Hybrid - Flat Tow Protocol

    Those of us towing 2023s (and probably both 2022 and 2024) do not have any such constraints. I have never had any issues, and don't see any justification for that 15 minute nonsense on pretty much the same motor. I think there are many 2025 owners towing and ignoring that. I have never seen a...
  6. Dead battery after flat towing, 2024 Maverick Hybrid.

    I bought my 2 from ebay, Just search for "vgate monitor". Most sellers are $14.95 with free shipping. I just put the positive ring on the positive jump terminal and the negative on the nearest ground lugs below it. I have one on my C-Max as well as my Maverick, and the app will show both and...
  7. How to reset “Service Engine Soon” light?

    I reset mine after doing the same thing. I have a Panlong obdii reader and a free app. That cheap Panlong has been a real asset for many vehicles. Less than $20.
  8. 2026 Maverick Order Guide Released

    Playfully returned. I do remember my younger days when I added a solid lifter hypro 289 cam into my 260 cu in V8 1963 Comet S-22, installed a 550 Holley 4 bbl carb atop an Edelbrock manifold, used a dual point hypro 289 distributor and even stuffed Hedman Headers in there. A little rear lift...
  9. 2026 Maverick Order Guide Released

    At my age, I want more comfort and convenience as I drive around town at 30-45 mph than knowing I have extra horsepower. It does do just fine at 80-90 on the local 80mph interstate, tho.
  10. 2026 Maverick Order Guide Released

    Wow. Who would have thought my 2023 Lariat hybrid BAP would be peak Maverick. Real Keypad, heated windshield, alto blue paint (to match blue inside), navigation, phone charger pad, real spare tire, jack, and even black emblems. All for $32,561.
  11. Flat Towing the 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid

    No such requirement for the 2022-2024 Mavericks. I'd be on the hunt for another 2023 if mine was gone.
  12. Electronic braking

    That shift pattern, in the AM and every 6 hours thereafter, was changed in the 24 manual, from the 2023. Then the 2025 has that weird 30 minute comment in revision 2. 2023: shift to drive, to reverse, then end in neutral. 2024: shift to drive, then back to neutral. 2025: shift to drive, then...
  13. Electronic braking

    That has been discussed as necessary for the powertrain. You need to actually run the ICE every 6 hours of driving, not just turn the ignition on to start (usually you must step on the gas to get the ICE to start up). But I don't have your answer either.
  14. [OFFICIAL] 2025 Ford Maverick Flat Tow for all Hybrids

    My 2023 Alto Blue Lariat with BAP is fairly rare. Alto Blue color, heated windshield, touchpad, NAV and BAP are a combination only found in 2023.
  15. Neutral tow mode - HELP!

    No relay, no issues in over 6000 miles towing now.
  16. Personal license plates / vanity plate for your Maverick??

    I got really lucky. This year they changed the plate style and instead of allowing GOOSE in each WY county, on 3 different vehicle types (passenger car, motorcycle and truck), when 5 letters are used, only one of the types can have it...first come. The person who had GOOSE on his motorcycle 4...
  17. Dead battery after flat towing, 2024 Maverick Hybrid.

    The cheap answer is a $15 bluetooth voltage monitor. Then you know your truck's battery voltage as you tow it and if the charge wire stops working for any reason, you 'll know it.
  18. Can the new 2025 Hybrid AWD be flat towed?

    Demco comes through again with the least invasive/damaging baseplate. "Good things come to those who wait"
  19. Ford Modular Drop In Bed Liner (DIBL) Long Term Review

    I put the Ford DIBL in my 23 Lariat. Happy with it, until I bought a Bedrug liner for my wife's Ranger. Love that thing, as my trucks don't get terribly dirty in my use. If I had to do it over, I'd get a Bedrug for the Maverick. I usually use an old comforter in the bed when hauling cement...
  20. Flat Towing the 2025 Maverick AWD Hybrid

    Having a charge wire is a necessary item to keep the battery up. Turning the ICE on and running it for a few minutes at the start of day and every 6 hours is for the transmission protection, not charging the battery.
