• Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow a Jeep Wrangler JL or JL Unlimited
  
• For your Jeep Wrangler JL, I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521450-5. This kit has removable arms to give you a very clean look when not flat towing your Jeep, and also gives you a clean connection to your tow bar when towing behind your motorhome. I recommend installing this base plate using Loctite threadlocker # LT37420 to keep your hardware from vibrating loose over time. For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 213 Fiat 500 Behind an RV
  
• Demco base plates # DM9518300 fit the 2013 Fiat 500 Gucci and Lounge models. If you have a Pop or Sport model you would instead use # DM9518298. All of the compatible tow bars come with safety cables so you can use them or the ones you have; either way will be fine as long as you are using something. The most cost effective is the coupler style Kwik Tow # DM9511011. But if you are going to be doing a lot of towing I strongly recommend going with a non-binding tow bar such as the...

• Recommended Parts to Flat Tow a 2017 Ford F-150 4x4 Behind and RV
  
• The Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 is an excellent tow bar choice. It is indeed compatible with the EZ5 base plates, # RM-524431-5, for your 2017 Ford F-150. Since the tow bar comes with safety cables you will not need to add any of those to your order. Lighting kit # RM-154 will also work with the truck. This lighting kit uses 4-Way flat connectors so to use it with the 6-Way end on the tow bar's wiring you will also need connector # RM-910030-7 to mount to the front of the truck. Then...

• Since the Patriot # BRK2019 is wireless and portable the installation process is quite simple as compared to other braking systems. The only other electrical component needed is a 12V outlet kit # RM-9332 which provides operating power to the Patriot. If you are using a magnetic tow light set-up, such as # TL21RK, you need nothing else to install the Patriot.

• What is the Difference Between the EZ4 and EZ5 Base Plate Kits for a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
  
• Since both the EZ4 # RM-521448-4 and EZ5 # RM-521448-5 base plate kits fit your 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and have removable draw bars there really doesn't seem to be much of a difference at first glance. However, there are some significant differences that are important to take note of. The EZ5 kit is easier to connect your Falcon tow bar to but does not allow the use of the anchor brackets for sterling cables. Sterling cable anchors will have to be attached to the frame or welded...

• Can a 2017 Ford Fiesta be Flat Towed With 200 Miles on it and Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow
  
• I checked an online version of the owner's manual about flat towing for your 2017 Ford Fiesta and although I didn't find anything in there about a mileage requirement before flat towing, it is good practice to get at least 500 miles on a new vehicle before doing anything to or with it. This gives the vehicle a chance to break-in. The manual does say to put about 300 miles on new tires so I recommend going on a little road trip before flat towing your Fiesta.
