Can the new 2025 Hybrid AWD be flat towed?

[Dave O]

Today I'm having the install for my Demco base plate (and stay and play) completed. Took DDK's experience and recommendation, and I'm having it installed at Bruce's repair in Matlock, IA. The guy knows his stuff.

Does anyone have an update on the reason why Ford says to wait 15 minutes when switching neutral tow off?

You’re going to love flat towing your Maverick - this thing tows like a dream

I haven’t heard or read anything from Ford on the 15 minute wait time I moved mine out of the way immediately and getting to my final location I got no alerts it did sit for a few hours after I moved it while I set up the campsite

Thanks. I'm looking forward to towing it. Love the truck so far. I am planning to do the same when getting to the campsite. I can't imagine it will be catastrophic if I don't.

This is all I found about the 15min wait time:
2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid what is the purpose of waiting 15 minutes when turning off tow mode
The purpose of waiting 15 minutes when turning off tow mode on the 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid is to ensure that the vehicle is safe to operate. This waiting period is part of the flat towing protocol to prevent any potential issues that could arise from the vehicle being in a non-operational state. It is a precautionary measure to ensure that the vehicle is ready for use and that all systems are functioning properly before it is moved or driven.

I was told non-operational state could mean that it stays in tow mode

There is definitely a status update on the dash showing the vehicle has exited “neutral tow”
