Thank you for contacting Blue Ox.

We are working with a customer to do a fit in the next few weeks. We are hoping to be able to design a baseplate but due to available frame attachment points we are not sure we will be able to come up with a baseplate that will meet our FEA safety testing.

Thanks,
Rebekah

I will be selling my Maverick Hybrid if I cannot flat tow. Without the tow hooks there is no place to attach to the frame.

There is a discussion elsewhere in the forums about flat towing a hybrid. Maybe it will help you.

Roadmaster has already fabricated a baseplate and is doing a final fitti g next week with it. I emailed them today and that told me this:

Morning –



We do have a baseplate in the design process. Should have posted on our website in seven weeks. Thanks

I would have to wonder about that as Blue Ox has “safely” found attachment points to the frame on the Ford Escape hybrid.

Roadmaster is using two to fine tune their baseplate. The first went up the first week of Jan and my hybrid starts the week long prototype process on Mon Jan 31. Pics to follow.

I too plan to tow my hybrid (assuming I‘m still living by the time it’s delivered) behind my class C. Thanks for assisting Roadmaster. Looking forward to seeing the final setup.

I posted a new thread for this as my truck was the second and final truck in Roadmaster’s prototype process, and it was completed on 2/4/22. New pics of the actual production version. Search for:

This is my favorite reply.

No pity party. Just "Hey, you gonna sell that Mav?"

Fantastic! 😀

I believe Road Master has it figured out.

Glad to hear that one is coming, this is one of the reasons I purchased my Hybrid, I hope its a DYI bolt on, I like the pictures of the frontend of the truck with the baseplate.
