• Best Way To Prevent Battery From Dying While Flat Towing A 2020 Ford Ranger
  Hey Lisa, thanks for reaching out. Yep this is a pretty common issue with these brake systems. The best way to resolve it is with a charge line kit like part # RM-156-25.

Keep in mind, for this to work, you need to have a 6-pin plug mounted on the front of the tow vehicle. There also needs to be a 7-wire to 6-wire cable connecting...

• Could Wiring of Blue Ox 7-Way to 6-Way be Opened Up and Changed
  Hey Joe, if for some reason you needed a different pin out than what the Blue Ox Coiled Cord part # BX88206 has it is going to be much easier and smarter to change the pin out of the female connectors this plugs into than trying to open up the wiring of the coiled wire. Not only would it be challenging to open up the wiring but it wouldn't be possible to effectively seal it after the fact.

• Will etrailer Tow Bar Work With Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
  Hey David! The etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR you ordered will work with the Roadmaster Base Plate using the # e98975 adapter brackets you picked up since it is the Direct-Connect style.
