You will need a few more things to be able to tow your E-150, the first thing you will want is a base plate kit, this is what attaches your vehicle to the tow bars like the RoadMaster Blackhawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-422.
Since I am not sure what year E-150 you have I will give you recommendations based on the different years they made the E-150.
If you had 2008-2010 Ford E-150 you would need to use a Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # 446-10.
If you had a 1992-2007 E-150 you would need Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # 446-5.
Next, you will need a Magnetic Towing Light Kit, 20 ft. Long Cord, part # RM-2120. This will give your E-150 turn signals and brake lights.
The last thing that you will be required to use would be RoadMaster 64 inch Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables - 8,000 lbs, part # RM-645
You may also be interested in a Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System, part # RM-9400, to take some of the braking load off of your tow vehicle.
You should consult your owners manual to make sure your E-150 is capable of being towed.
