Tow Bar Wiring Recommendation for a 2016 Ford F-150

Question:

I am installing your Blue ox base plate on a newly purchased 2016 ford F150. Any suggestions for wiring the taillights? I have read prior posts referencing magnetic wireless lights. Etc. But would prefer to wire in the factory taillights.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
