The Rangers are the same way. The lower trim levels do not come with tow hooks or tow packages they’re not rated for it you have to have the FX package

@@revilsdr this is true, but you have to understand that the rangers tow hooks mounts to the frame. This makes a huge difference, the frame is a constant strong point. On the maverick, they add a completely new support to reinforce the tow hook and this support is only in the FX4. This is odd because it doesn’t span the entire line of maverick’s.

Thanks Boom. What you showed in the video is really helpful. Hopefully Ford will at least get the welds for all Mavs because its super important when we go offroading.

Great Video! So well done. It answered what I needed to know, and yep --- it is very disappointing that it won't work with non-FX4 models. I will be ordering the 2023 Hybrid Lariat and did some research on the Road Master base plate and tow kit to tow behind my motorhome. But there is zero info from both Ford and Road Master at this time, so I just have to wait until it is manufactured. Also, my local Ford dealer said they will not be installing the towing kit, but recommended Camping World to insure that the warranty would hold.

Thank you very much for wasting a afternoon to answer this question

It’s a 30mm on the back of the tow hooks. For anyone wondering.

I ran into the same issue with my ranger XLT you cannot add them on without changing out the valance and weren’t actually structurally usable as intended. If you want useable hooks and max tow rating you should go with trim models that have the factory tow packages etc it’s worth the money…

I'll probably use those 2 bolts location to add aftermarket fog lights

Unibody vehicles usually don't have a standard print as they're fitted with options during manufacturing.

hello! Have you checked out the hybrid version

I know its a bit older video, but figured I'd ask anyhow. Mine is going to be a hybrid, so no tow hooks anyhow. I was thinking though that the mounting points for the two 12mm bolts could be a good anchor point for fog lights. Does the bumper cover have removable panels where the tow hooks would go, or would I need to do a bit of cutting to open up that hole?

Here is Austin area at Mac Haik Ford in Georgetown. We are also not marking up your special ordered units. This video is great. Personally have these two hooks (Orange from a Tremor unit). I guess that I will not be able to use them on my Maverick. Someone local wants at reasonable amoujnt reach out please.

Loved the video! Does it look possible to fabricate a front mounted 2 inch receiver on this with or without the FX4 package? I use a SnowSport plow on my Subaru Baja, and would want to move it to here if I get a Maverick.

seeing the bumper cover off clearly confirms the new Tremor front end will not fit on a 22 FX4....

Awe that's too bad that the portion that actually carries the load isn't common to all the trims, but good to know. And to those thinking that they'll just bolt it on with the little bolts, that tab looks like it's just there to keep the hook centered in the opening. It's not going to carry much load before the tab deforms.

Good video. Helped a lot. I like it for the looks, but im sure ill need a random tow at some point, and someone will rip my shit out lol.

Would the lariat headlight be plug and play for XLT ? I would think the plug and harness would be the same.. also same thing for the taillights ?

And didn't mind taking the large (well, not NOW "large" as the market -- both new AND used vehicles -- has changed presently) 1st-year depreciation hit, either -- it was worth it. It's ESPECIALLY true if buying a used 4x4/off-road vehicle, which may have been abused big-time (look at all the DFs on KZread scratching/gouging/scraping/bending/breaking stuff on their vehicles, even some rolling-over. And all their likewise DF friends/spectators (drunk or not) shouting/laughing like idiots at the damage. Then later when the owners sell their vehicles they NEVER admit to any of that stupidity. No thanks...I bought new. As for this guy, what if he strips/cross-threads one of the bolts putting the "new" truck back together? Or gouges the paint under there where no one can see just looking at the vehicle from outside? Or crack/break a plastic part? Would he ADMIT it to the person/dealer? I'd say not -- it'd only be found out LATER by the new owners and they'd think Ford has crappy QC and some care-less line-worker did it, after all, it was a "NEW" 2021 Maverick, yes? Point is, don't mess with anyone's vehicle WITHOUT "full-disclosure" and permission (of course), used or not. It's just not done if you have any right/wrong values. As for NEW car dealers, TMK, dealers do NOT have to disclose any damage to a new vehicle that happened on the truck or on their lots, if it was BELOW a certain dollar amount, OR, unless the buyer ASKS (how many of us ASK?) -- as long as it was repaired to OEM/factory "like new" specs.
