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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1998 Dodge Ram Diesel 3500 Dully
    In addition to the tow bar you have already purchased, the Blue Ox # BX7520p, you will need base plates, safety chains, tow wiring, and a supplemental braking system.

The base plates we have to fit your Dodge Ram 3500 Sport are the Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1949. These base plate have been determined to work with the Blue Ox Trion tow bar.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
    First thing you will need to do is check the owners manual for both vehicles to make sure your Dodge Ram can be flat-towed and if there are any restrictions and what the towing capacity is for your 2002 Ford F450.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4
    When flat towing a vehicle, there are 5 components that you will need. First, you will need to equip the tow vehicle with base plates. For the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4, you can use Blue Ox base plates, # BX1949, if you do not have a Sport model. If you do have a Sport model, use Roadmaster Base plates, # 249-6. You will then need a compatible tow bar. For the Blue Ox base plates, I recommend the Acclaim Tow Bar, # BX4330, which comes with safety cables. For the Roadmaster base plates,...

  • Can a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Manual Transmission be Flat Towed?
    Manual transmission vehicles like your 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 can be flat towed, but not on the tow dolly you referenced since your truck would exceed it's towing capacity. Instead you would want to use a tow bar setup. First you would need to start with a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 1996 Dodge Ram 1500. For that you would want the Blue ox part # BX1949 which is a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...

  • Base Plate Kit that Fits 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    Hey Brent, but what you'd want is the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1949 and since you have a Roadmaster tow bar you'd want the part # RM-031. We don't have a Roadmaster base plate kit that fits the non-sport models.
