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 # DM86VR for hydraulic motorhome brakes
- High-Low Adapter (see attached article - Base Plate Height is 15")

The Roadmaster brake kits aren't necessarily bad, I just haven't found them to be as reliable as the Demco kits are which is why I recommend the Demco brake kits over the Roadmaster.
