  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Ram 1500
    The parts needed to flat tow your 2018 Ram 1500 will depend on what model you have; we will start with the Big Horn, Laramie/Laramie Longhorn, Limited, or Tradesman 4WD. For these models I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-52289-5. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing, as well as its integrated safety cables...

  • Recommended Parts Needed to Flat (Dinghy/Recreational) Tow a 2015 Ram 1500
    The parts that you need to flat tow a 2015 Ram 1500 are a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. The actual part numbers though will vary depending on what model of 1500 you end up getting. If you have a Standard model use the base plate kit # RM-52289-5 but if you have a Sport or Express use the kit # RM-298-3 instead. Both of these are compatible with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676....

  • Complete Flat Tow Package for 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel 4WD
    Since you're already familiar with flat towing, you know there are a number of parts that are required to safely flat tow a vehicle behind a motorhome. You may be able to share some of them between your two vehicles, but the base plates are custom to each vehicle and the tow bar wiring installation tends to be more involved, so you'll want your Jeep and your Ram to each have their own. The Demco Excali-Bar II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 is the tow bar I recommend using for a few reasons....

  • Flat Towing Parts Options for 2018 Ram 1500
    To flat tow your 2018 Ram 1500 behind a motorhome, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possible a high/low adapter. Since the Demco # DM9517335 base plate is pretty easy to install, that's what I'll recommend. If the weight of your F150 is below 6000 lbs (research indicates a max dry weight of 5673 lbs, but this will depend on how vehicle is equipped) I'd recommend the Demco Commander II tow bar, part # DM9511012 .

  • How to Flat Tow a 2018 Ram 1500 4X2 Automatic
    Just so you are aware, from the OEM, only 4 wheel drive models should be flat towed. Choosing to install the drive shaft disconnect on your 2 wheel drive model is a work around but keep in mind you will be flat towing at your own risk. You do not identify what trim level you have, but if it is the Big Horn, Laramie, Longhorn or Tradesman, then I suggest: Base Plates - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-52289-5 Tow Bar - Roadmaster Nighthawk, # RM-676 Wiring kit - Roadmaster...

  • Trailer Hitch for 2005 Jayco Greyhawk GS30 and Flat Tow Items for 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie
    I always respect the manufacturers posted weight ratings when towing and hauling, I never push to the max and caution against exceeding those ratings. OEM's are required to complete rigorous testing before a vehicle is released for sale, this testing has been developed over decades of process improvements. Personally I prefer to stay at least 10 percent below the max rating for payload, towing and combined weights but I caution against exceeding them in any way. You state "...need to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Ram 1500 4x4
    Hi Gary; thanks for the question and I googled the owner's manual to find out, and your 4x4 2017 Ram 1500 is indeed able to be flat towed with all four wheels on the ground per the owners manual. Here are all the parts you'll need to do so: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9517335 - Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR - Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 - Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO...

  • Compatibility of Blue Ox Tow Bars With Demco Classic Base Plates for 2016 Ram 1500
    The Demco # DM9517335 classic base plates are completely compatible with a Blue Ox Allure tow bar. No adapter is needed. To complete your flat towing system, in addition to the tow bar and base plates, you'll need a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed height of your base plates has a greater than 3 inch height difference from the receiver on the motorhome. You'll also need safety cables if you don't already have them. Here's...

  • How To Use a Demco Dominator Tow Bar on a 2018 Ram 1500
    If you want to use the Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar part # DM9511008 on a 2018 Ram 1500 you'll need the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit part # DM9517335. In addition to this you'd still need a braking system and lighting harness. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR and Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light part # LIW-LDTL-7B as they are both portable options that can be installed/removed easily and taken from vehicle to vehicle.

  • Best Supplemental Braking System for Motorhome with Air Brakes Towing a Ram 1500
    I suggest the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System, # SM99243. This will provide a fully proportional braking system that never needs to be removed from your truck. The actuator will install out of sight and will automatically function when RV and towed truck are connected. I have attached a review video below. If you need the other items, tow bar, base plate, etc. for flat towing your 2017 Ram 1500 I suggest the following: Base Plate, # DM9517335. This is a confirmed...
