asked by: DAN
Helpful Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster hardwired diode kit # RM-154 for flat towing a car will not differ much from a similar kit from another maker, such as Blue Ox kit # BX8848. But since the Roadmaster kit includes a protective wire loom and has been highly-rated by many more users, I would opt for the Roadmaster kit # RM-154.
I linked a series of helpful articles concerning tow bar wiring options as well as installation videos for both kits.
