Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


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.

  • Do I Need a Battery Disconnect for a 2021 Ford Edge?
    We have run into this issue before actually and spoken to Roadmaster about it. The only solution that doesn't require the extreme amount of difficulty you have described is to install the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System item # RM-766. This part isn't listed as optional as far as flat towing your vehicle goes on Roadmaster's website. It's listed as one of the required parts. I have linked a couple of installation videos we've done on the previous...

  • How To Use Brake Buddy Select 3 On 2019 Ford Edge With Battery Disconnected
    The Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System part # HM39524 is directly compatible with a 2019 Ford Edge. It connects directly to the battery so there won't be any issues if you have to disconnect the battery for towing. That said, you'd obviously need to attach the power and ground wires to the battery studs instead of the cables which run to the power distribution center since these will be removed or power cut to them.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Ford Edge ST
    Hey Dan, so your 2022 Ford Edge ST can be flat towed and we have the parts needed to do it but like all vehicles I wouldn't say the setup is overly difficult. There's a few things that have to be installed and some like the base plate kit can take a bit of time to install. The first thing you'd need is a base plate kit like the Blue Ox part # BX2677 which is one of the easier to use options for sure. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables,...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Equipment For A 2020 Ford Edge ST
    To avoid splicing into your 2020 Ford Edge ST's wiring you'll have to use magnetic lights. I recommend the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK. If you don't already have a tow bar, base plate, braking system, and safety cables then I have the following recommendations for you: Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500lbs Item # BX7380. This tow bar has a non-binding feature that makes connecting and disconnecting on any terrain super easy. Base...

  • Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Ford Edge
    If your 2021 Ford Edge is an ST model, with the 2.7L Eco Boost engine it can be flat towed. Otherwise, it'll need to be trailered. For base plates, I'd recommend the Blue Ox # BX2677 base plate kit along with a # BX7380 Blue Ox Alpha tow bar. The tow bar is non binding for easy unhooking and is self centering so you don't need to have the vehicle perfectly lined up behind the motorhome. Just hook up and pull away, and the tow bar will align itself automatically. Safety cables are included...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Setup Minus Supplemental Braking System For 2020 Ford Edge
    I would be happy to recommend everything you will need to flat tow your 2020 Ford Edge behind your RV, but the only base plate kits available are if your Edge is an ST model. First you will need a base plate kit which currently the only base plate kit offered is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2677 that will only fit if your Edge is an ST Model. As long as your Edge is an ST model you will be able to use the RoadMaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain, Nighthawk, or Sterling Tow...

  • Recommended Base Plate and Flat Towing Parts for a 2022 Ford Edge ST
    The only manufacturer that makes a base plate for a 2022 Ford Edge is Blue Ox. It is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX2677. I confirmed this information with Roadmaster. This fits the ST model, with the 2.7L Eco Boost engine. If your Edge is a different model it can not be flat towed. If you already have a Roadmaster Tow Bar you will need to use an adapter. Which one you need will depend on the serial number of your tow bar. It is located on a sticker where the two arms come together....

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2019 Lincoln Nautilus
    Please verify per your vehicle specific owners manual that your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus can be flat towed. This is listed under "Recreational Towing" in your Owners Manual. Per information available to me online, it states only the 2.7L model can be flat towed. You may or may not need a high/low adapter, it all depends on each combination of motorhome and towed vehicle. I have attached a help article below that explains what this is and walks you through the process of measuring so as discover...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate And Flat Tow Wiring For A 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid
    We have just what you need. The Blue Ox Base Plate # BX2677 will be the correct fit for your 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid. For a wiring kit I recommend the Roadmaster Diode Kit # RM-15267. This kit includes everything you will need to wire the vehicle, including diodes, wire, a 6 pin socket, and the coiled electrical cable to connect the RV to the towed vehicle. We also recommend adding a charge line kit # RM-156-25 to keep the vehicles battery charged while towing.

  • Recommended Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for 2022 Ford Edge ST
    The correct Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 2022 Ford Edge ST with 2.7L EcoBoost is part # BX2677. This will then pair well with the Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar part # BX4370. If you need any other parts like the wiring and braking system I recommend checking out the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System part # HM39524 and Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267.
