Sold my 2023 Mav Lariat 2.0L AWD as it was not Flat Towable. I want to tow the Mav behind my motorhome.

Thanks

I can't really speak for the maverick, but the Powerboost F-150 has a flat tow setting that you can reach in the control screens (which is distinct from the short-term neutral for car washes)

The 2025 Ford Maverick 2.5L Hybrid is not designed to be flat towed. In general, hybrid and front-wheel drive vehicles like the Maverick are not suitable for flat towing due to their design and drivetrain components. If you plan to tow the Maverick, it is recommended that you use a wheel lift to avoid damaging the drivetrain

This will sure be news to all the owners of 22-24 FWD Hybrids, since the directions on how to flat tow are in their owners manual.

Start on page 292.

Not awd. Only front wheel drive. From the 2025 manual in my awd hybrid:

WOW! Given that there is plenty of information here that says otherwise, this is going to be a major shock to many people here, myself included. Was considering a hybrid 2025 AWD because I live in WI, but I’ll stay with my 2024 since it can be flat towed.

Looking at the guide and if you can't tow a AWD Maverick on a tow Dollie then don't think you can flat tow it either.

This looks pretty clear that you can.

Yes, the original owners manual was not updated for quite some time. You can, in fact flat tow the 2025 Maverick Hybrid AWD. The newest version of the owners manual is now available as shown in a post above. Hmm. I have the downloaded manual (PDF), but can't remember where I got it. Seems all the Ford manuals I see online to download are still the older versions. I guess Ford not paying attention or don't care to fix anything on their sites. JIMINWI, above might remember where he got his copy! Good luck!
