According to the spec sheet only the hybrid is flat towable.

The towbar baseplate that gets mounted to the truck will likely protrude from the two plugs for the FX4 tow hooks. I hope they are pretty easy to knock out.
THIS^^^
No Ecoboost engine Maverick, Front wheel drive or All wheel drive, can be flat towed with wheels on the ground.

740 miles of towing my Maverick in the last 2 days.
My Maverick Hybrid Lariat is doing great. No problems with getting it out of neutral tow and running it between tows. I think the Push Button start makes things a bit simpler than the key process on an XLT where I've seen some discussions of "stuck in neutral tow. I am going to be religious about starting the engine and running it as I haven't always been compliant with some other toweds. I don't want an issue there.
The Demco baseplate and Roadmaster Falcon 2 towbar mate together well with the Roadmaster RM-034 adaptors.

I just returned from my first trip with the Maverick XLT being towed behind our class A motor home. No issues engaging or disconnecting it from behind the MH.

I just need a motorhome! 
Made it home from 2622 miles towing our 2023 Maverick Lariat with Demco Baseplate/Roadmaster Falcon 2 towbar in the last 13 days. Super easy connections and disconnections (used RM-034 adaptors).
NO Neutral Tow problems and I drove it several times during the trip.
VERY happy with my little Ford Transit LTV (Class C-gas) towing it and getting 13.5 mpg overall from Gillette, WY over the Montana/Idaho passes, then Snoqualmie Pass in WA, and then down to Oregon and across lower Idaho and over the 7100 ft level near Rawlins, WY.
