Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Ford F-150 Behind a Motor Home
    First, you have to make sure that your 2007 Ford F-150 does not exceed 5,000 pounds. If so then you can use base plates # BX2169 and they are compatible with the Allure tow bar # BX7460P. If your truck does weigh over 5,000 pounds then I recommend Roadmaster base plates # 495-1A and using Blackhawk tow bar, # RM-422, with safety cables # BX88197. This is because the capacity of the Blue Ox base plates is 5,000 pounds. Depending on what is in the truck and how it is equipped you could easily...

  • Will Installing a Baseplate on a 2008 Ford F-150 STX Require Modifying the Bumper?
    Hey David, thanks for the information. The etrailer item # e98969 doesn't work with the STX model of the 2008 Ford F-150. The only option that does is the Blue Ox item # BX2169. It replaces the tow hooks, if you have them, and does not require modification of the bumper. I've linked the installation instructions below so you can see the process. Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2008 Ford F-150 STX: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar...

  • Procedure for Flat Towing 2007 Ford F-150 Behind Motorhome
    The exact procedure will depend on which transfer case your truck is equipped with.

  • Does Blue Ox Base Plate Kit BX2169 Have a Weight Capacity
    The base plate kit part # BX2169 does not have a 5,000 lb weight capacity. The weight limit you mentioned is for the tow bar that you end up using. You would want to make sure the tow bar has a higher capacity like the Avail part # BX7420 which has a 10,000 lb capacity.

  • Can 2007 Ford F-150 Be Flat-Towed With Electric Winch Installed
    When installing base plates on your 2007 F-150 the base plates will be installed in the location where the tow hooks are and the tow hooks will be permanently removed. I was unable to determine how the Winch support you have on your truck is mounted but you can look at the attached installation instruction for the base plates to see if there will be an issue with both installed. The base plate kit I recommend for your F-150 is part # BX2169. For a tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Avail,...
