yes, 2024 maverick, we use the Demco base plate, Blue ox tow bars, and RVI braking system, with their battery charger system. Hope this helps, take care.

RVI Shadow. Easy to install and works well.

We flat tow a 23 XLT Hybrid with Roadmaster base plate and tow bar and Demco Stay and Play brake system. We put in a charging circuit also and diodes in the brake light/turn signals. Everything works great!

Thanks for the info I have a blue ox faceplate on order and RVI 3 brake system with a charge relay and i think I need a 12volt plug for the RVI off the 12v battery

Seriously reconsider putting on a Demco instead. Even though Blue Ox has revised their initial, TERRIBLE Maverick baseplate, many of us saw their failure to stand behind the failures people experienced. See picture for an example. The DEMCO is a lot beefier than the Blue Ox revised version.

Ford Maverick Flat towing braking system? blue ox failure
