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.

  • Is Blue Ox Tow Bar Compatible With Other Brand Base Plates on 2005 Ford F-250
    You do not have to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2177 on your 2005 Ford F-250 if you don't want to. However, you will need an adapter to use a Blue Ox tow bar with a different base plate brand. For example, if you would rather use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 4403-1 with removable arms all you need is the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster EZ5, MS, and MX Base Plates Adapter Brackets # BX88185.

  • Options For Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2005 Ford F-350
    Hi Byron, There are a number of options you have to add base plates to flat tow your 2005 Ford F-350, and those are the following: - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2177 - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 4403-1 - Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9517109 These are all quite similar, but I like the Blue Ox due to its reliability and the fact they have excellent tow bars rated for to tow your big truck.
