Question:

Hello again boys and girls, I am set up, thanks to yall, to drag along my 2014 Smart car, I also own a 2019 Ford Fiesta and would like to drag it along sometimes too. So if you could point me to the correct base plate, plus will I still be able to use the Curt tow bar I purchased from you guys. As always, etrailer is the go to guys for customer service, and for that alone, there is no other company could snatch me away! Thanks in advance,

Since you have a Curt tow bar the base plate kit you'd want for your 2019 Ford Fiesta is the part # C23KR. Now I don't know what other components you are using for flat towing but I'll give you a recommendation just in case they are items that can't easily transfer.

Then for wiring the # RM-152-98146-7 would be a great solution. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. 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.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.

I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
