Tab Covers

Demco Pull Ear Cover

When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Ford F-150 4x4
    The first thing you will want to do is consult the owners manual for your 2013 Ford F-150 for specific information on flat towing it. You will need 5 basic components to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates on the truck I recommend the Demco kit # DM9518296. I've attached a picture that shows how they'll look once installed. For a compatible tow bar you can use the Dominator # DM9511008 which is rated for 7,500...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Ford Expedition 4WD With or Without Adaptive Cruise Control
    The only difference between flat towing a 2017 Ford Expedition 4WD with adaptive cruise control or without adaptive cruise control is the base plates that fit. If you do NOT have adaptive cruise control you can use Roadmaster base plates. If you DO have adaptive cruise control, base plates are not available from that manufacturer. Due to that, and to make it much easier, I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518296 because it is a high-quality base plate that will fit a 2017...

  • Dolly Tow a Ford F-150 Crew cab
    The RoadMaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 has a maximum vehicle weight of 4,250 lbs. Your 2006 Ford F-150 will weigh around 4,500lbs curb weight so while it could tow a vehicle with this dolly it could not be towed on this dolly. Flat towing is an option for you per the owners manual. Pages 198-199 provide specific guidance as to the steps you take when flat towing your 2006 F-150 for both automatic and manual transmission models. As for parts to use to flat tow, below is a list to get...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Ford Expedition With MCI Bus
    You are correct, as long as your frame does not exceed 44" you will be able to weld on the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. Weight distribution isn't an issue and is not something you would use for flat towing your 2017 Ford Expedition. In addition to the hitch you will need the following to flat tow your vehicle: - Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518296 - Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511008 - Roadmaster Diode...

  • Demco Base Plate Kit for Flat Towing 2013 Ford F-150
    Demco offers a base plate kit that fits your 2013 Ford F-150 with the part # DM9518296 which will work great with your Commander tow bar # DM9511012. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle...

  • Can 2009 Ford F-150 with Manual-Shift Transfer Case be Flat Towed
    If your 2009 Ford F-150 4x4 has a manual-shift transfer case (it will have 2H, 4H, N, and 4L on it) then you can flat tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground. Since it sounds like this is what you have I recommend using the following parts to flat tow your F-150: Base Plate Kit - Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518296 Tow Bar/Safety Cables - Demco Excali-Bar III # DM9511013 Tow Bar Wiring - Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 (motorhome with...

  • Tow Bar and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Ford F-150 Behind a Class C Motorhome
    The first thing to do is to check your owner's manual to make sure the 2013 Ford F-150 can be flat towed without causing it any damage. From my research it can as long as it has 4-wheel drive. The rear wheel drive cannot; at least not without adding after market parts for the transmission. If this is the case for your truck then I recommend talking to a Ford dealership before flat towing it. If you are able to flat tow your truck then there are several parts you need. You need the...

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2002 Ford F-150
    As long as your 2002 Ford F-150 isn't a Lightning or Harley Davidson edition you'll be able to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2146. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e67ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to worry about them dragging on the ground and an adjustable head so that you can help keep...

  • Tow Bar, Base Plates, Wiring and Braking System to Flat Tow 2012 Ford F150 4x4 Without EcoBoost
    To flat tow your vehicle, you will need a tow bar, base plates that install on the vehicle and provide a connection point, safety cables, a wiring solution and a supplemental braking system. The Demco Excali-Bar III, part # DM9511013 would be a great choice. The independent and self-aligning design make hitching the vehicle very easy, even on on terrain that is not pool-table flat. The 10,500 pound capacity of the Excali-Bar will handle the weight of your F-150 with no problem. Safety...
