2025 Hybrid Maverick - need her ready to be towed

[Hot Runr Guy]

Thanks for the response - I'm currently gathering information on installers and found that the one I scheduled for only does Blue Ox which seems most are against - the cleanest install with no cuts is supposed to be the Demco base plate but then found out that even though there is no cutting on the front body it does require cutting into the shutters - should have gotten a Jeep

where did you end up getting it all installed if you dont mind me asking

Keep in mind, Blue OX revised their baseplate, the original design had the connection points too far apart, the current version corrected that.

I have lived in Alaska since my Dad retired from the Navy in 1961.

I love Alaska. Below is a post a recent a boondock trip.

Beautiful pictures and nice coach.

I have the Blueox Baseplate installed on my 2025 Mav Hybrid, works great. I've flat towed many miles this year. My installer in Louisville, KY.

Thanks for response.
I will be interested to hear what you find out.
Here is what Google says

The 15-minute waiting period for a 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid after flat towing is to allow its complex computer systems to "reset," perform self-diagnostics, and for the all-wheel-drive (AWD) transmission to properly settle. This is a new requirement for the 2025 model year and is likely a software-based precaution to ensure the vehicle's systems are aligned and ready to be driven after being towed in neutral.

I don't always wait 15 minutes, usually 5 - 10 minutes. One time I had to disconnect my 25 hybrid quickly after stopping. I had a zillion error messages on center console, Could not start Mav until turning back off & waiting a few minutes. There's a reason to wait after flat towing, I'm not positive why?
