Flat towing my 2023 Maverick hybrid

I recently purchased the Maverick for the ability to flat tow on extended camping trips. I’m scheduled to have the baseplate and Roadmaster flat tow package installed. My concern now is rock chips and possible damage to the front end of the Maverick as a result of towing. Nearly 100% of  travel are paved roads and interstate at max 65mph. My question is: Do those of you who flat tow have an issue with rock chip damage? I see products that are made to minimize debris and rock chips on YouTube. Any recommendations or am I worrying needlessly.

I have been flat towing cars for 40 plus years and more miles than I can count.  I towed Jeep Wranglers and then bought my current toad in 2014; a 2012 GMC Terrain.  I have not experienced any damage from rocks or other debris.  I prefer to keep things simple....just hook it up and go.  Not sure how a shield/guard would be mounted or if it is something to create extra time in hooking up or storing while camping. 

Thank you. Good to know. I agree, keep it simple. Many of the options on YouTube were costly with  mixed reviews.

Our PC-2350 came with very big mud flaps that hang down close to the pavement, and the rear over-hang being so big, our Jeep Liberty in-tow, has not gotten any rock chip damage in the roughly 30,000 miles of being towed.

MY 2350 is missing one of the mud flaps. Ive yet to find an exact replacement for them yet. The one i still have measures 19 wide by 23.5 tall. I bought a set on amazon that came in and were 19 tall by 24 wide...right dimensions but wrong layout. its low priority so ill find some eventually

Ask Phoenix where they buy their mudflaps from.

I have learned that backing up against a bump-stop or curb is extremely hard on the mudflaps.

Hi Ron

We have not had any issues with rock damage on our tow car, a 2014 Chevy Equinox. We rarely drive on anything but paved roads. When we do drive on gravel roads, usually RV parks, we're usually going about 5 mph so not an issue.
If getting a Roadmaster tow bar, make sure it's not one of the ones that have a recall.  We purchased a new Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar earlier this year only to be notified by Roadmaster that we were part of a recall that can easily be fixed... once parts are available.  Still waiting.

Thanks for all the responses. I’m pretty sure the mudflats on my coach are original and are in great shape. As for the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar, I’ll inquire about the recall at time of purchase. Good to know. Thank you!
