I have an alternate option for you, but the Yakima BoatLoader EVO Telescoping Load Assist # Y04085 is only designed to work with Yakima roundbar's or corebar's, which is not what your Elevate truck rack would have.
Instead you would want to use the Inno Kayak Lifter Load Assist # INA453 which has a more universal clamp-on design. It will work with round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. You just need a crossbar spread between 27" - 39" and crossbars that do not measure... view full answer...
The best hitch for your 2023 Ford Maverick is going to be the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C84BR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Ford with included hardware.
This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. I really like this hitch because it mounts completely behind your rear bumper. It has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. This hitch can be used with a weight distribution system but it will not increase the capacity.

Yes, it is. The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e74ZR is compatible with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM97RR. This base plate kit is custom fit and will work great with your 2023 Maverick.
The best permanently installed braking system and what I highly recommend is the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System w/ Wireless Coachlink Monitor item # DM86VR for hydraulic brakes. If your motorhome has air brakes you will need the Demco Air Force One Supplemental... view full answer...
The decision for me would come down to how long you plan to keep your Maverick or if you have other cars you might flat tow. Both the Patriot and Stay-IN-Play Duo are going to do a great job, but they are different styles.
The Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 is the choice to go with if you plan on keeping your Maverick for the long haul and don't plan to flat tow other vehicles. The reason is that you do not have to remove and install the Stay-IN-Play Duo... view full answer...
Yes, you can reinstall the Roadmaster BrakeMaster System w BrakeAway for RVs w Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional item # RM-9160 in your new 2022 Ford Maverick. Since your Maverick is a hybrid you will also need the RoadMaster BrakeMaster Custom Seat Adapter item # RM98FR.
You will also need a new baseplate kit, charge line, and wiring kit. I have listed these parts below. They are for your Hybrid model Maverick.

The instructions for the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM77YV are being added to page but I'll also send them to you separately. In the instructions they only show that the air dam needs a chunk cut out and that the shutters would remain. The Demco baseplate has a bit more of a slant outwards compared the the Roadmaster # RM97RR so you shouldn't need to trim out as much of the air shutters/dam during the installation. view full answer...
Hey Carl, thanks for writing in, and that's a good question. Thankfully, the answer is no, you do not need to cut or trim the fascia/face plate on a 2024 Ford Maverick to install the Demco base plate that fits, which is the following part number:
- Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM77YV
This base plate was designed for the arms to use the openings already on the front fascia which is why no fascia cutting is required. And that's great because nobody wants to do any extra cutting of their... view full answer...
We get this question a lot but unfortunately our answer is always the same, you must run a wire all the way up to the battery when installing a trailer wiring harness like the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C59DR. The reason for this has to do with the rating of the circuit, the in-bed power source may not be rated for the full power requirements of the converter which could trip the fuse or increase a chance for fires. I know it's a bit more work but it's required if you... view full answer...
It does not appear your 2022 Ford Maverick has a plug for a aftermarket trailer brake controller. It will depend on what type of trailer connector if any your Maverick will have from the factory.
If you do not have any trailer connector the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK53VR is where you need to start. This will connect to the Universal Install Kit # ETBC7 which would also connect to a factory 4-way flat connector if that is what you have. This kit provides all the wiring needed to... view full answer...
To add a brake controller to your 2023 Ford Maverick I recommend installing the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter # TK95VR to get the wiring and then the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Brake Controller for Tekonsha Harness # RED63RR for the brake controller end of things.
The Tekonsha wiring kit gets you all of the functions you need for your trailer functions and then the Tow-Pro Elite controller can be installed virtually anywhere in your truck cab and... view full answer...

I recommend using the Roadmaster wiring for your 2024 Ford Maverick because I've found it to be the most reliable on the market. The correct kit depends on if your Maverick has LED lights or not:
- LED Lights # RM38FR
- Non-LED Lights # RM-15267
The battery on your vehicle will also drain while towing so I recommend installing the Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to prevent that from happening.

I really like the Roadmaster flat towing products (with the exception of their brake systems) so I'm glad you asked about them for your 2024 Ford Maverick! Here are the parts I recommend using for flat towing your vehicle:
- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM97RR
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Wiring Kit # RO44FR for LED Lights OR # RM-154 for Non-LED Lights
- Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25
- Brake System # DM26VR for air OR #... view full answer...
I recommend picking up the Curt T-Connector # C59DR which tees in behind the tail lights on your 2022 Ford Maverick but has a power lead you run to the battery so the 4-Way connector is pulling power straight from the battery as opposed to potentially overloading the OEM wiring circuits.
This is a much safer option to splicing in connections because we aren't cutting into the factory wiring, the power is being pulled from the battery so the OEM circuits are unaffected, and the black module... view full answer...
Both tonneau covers you mentioned do fit your 2023 Ford Maverick and the difference is the material the cover is made out of, its finish, as well as the warranty.
- Woven Fabric - Matte Black Finish: TruXedo Sentry CT Tonneau Cover # TX43TV
- Vinyl - Leather-Grain Finish: TruXedo Sentry Tonneau Cover # TX43TV
The woven fabric of the Sentry CT is designed to be more dirt-resistant than the vinyl of the standard Sentry, and the CT cover also has a 5-year warranty compared to the 3-year... view full answer...
There are 5 basic components needed to flat tow any vehicle, the Base Plate Kit, Tow-Bar, Safety Cable, Wiring Solution and Supplemental Braking. Some vehicle set-ups require additional parts to supplement the basic items. Such as a high/low adapter to adjust the tow bar height or additional electrical items.
For the 2022 Ford Maverick:
- Base Plates, Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM97RR
- Tow Bar, Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar, # RM-676

We also have the Curt 4-Way # C59496 which will allow you to connect to most small utility trailers and boat trailers. It will also allow you to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should you carry a hitch mounted accessory which impairs the view of your tail lights.
