• Can 1989 Ford F-150 RWD with Auto Transmission be Flat Towed
  Hey Charles, due to the age of your truck I wasn't able to pull up an online version of the owners manual to see what it recommends for flat towing. Do you still have your manual? You can look under the towing section for the recreational section and there will be whether or not it can be flat towed listed there. Otherwise a Ford dealer would know. We have a base plate kit that does fit your truck with the Roadmaster # 414-1 though so I am pretty confident it will work.
