Helpful Expert Reply:

For flat towing your 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, the easiest wiring kit to install is the Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56000. This kit will plug into your vehicle's existing wiring at the taillights. I have attached an installation video of this wiring on a 2014 F-150 for you.

If your RV has a 7-way connector, I recommend using the Blue Ox 7-wire to 6-wire, Coiled Electrical Cord # BX88206. Extensions help to connect the wiring from a tow vehicle to a towed vehicle. Since extensions have trailer connectors on each end, this wiring extension includes a 6-way vehicle side connector for your vehicle. You can cut off the 4-way flat connector that comes with the wiring and install the 6-way round.

When flat towing, a brake controller is not needed. However, you will want to use a supplemental braking system. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. This system does not need to be connected to the tow or towed vehicle's lighting.

If you need a base plate, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2630. The tow bar I recommend using with these base plates is the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380.
