Long story I will try to keep short, If you ordered a Ford 2025 Maverick hybrid and was told it was flat towable, it might not be true.
I first became interested in the Maverick as a TOAD when my neighbor got one, 2023 FWD Hybrid, and he gets great milage and tows well. So I made the trip to talk to dealer in Late Aug about to check them out and the sales guy let me know that the 2025 would have some better features one of which was AWD. I like AWD and so I kept contact with him and he finally tells me that Ford Authority has an article out that states the AWD Hybrid is flat towable.

So End of August I order one and patiently waited. About a week ago I was notified my vehicle is in production. Being one that preps, I finally saw the owners manual was finally available for download and proceeded to read it. I get to the part where recreational vehicle towing is discussed and low and behold the manual states it can not be towed behind a RV unless it is on a dolly... I head over to
the Maverick Forum and see the discussion there about flat towing and it is a huge question.
Seem that back in August the approval was to flat tow. But the manual is not stating that and now that the manual is out, the questions are coming and there is no firm, solid answer yet.
I suggest If you have one of these Mavericks on order to get with your dealer for verification and DOCUMENTATION in case the manual is not corrected. You could be on the hook for tranny replacement, could, we don't know yet.
