Expert Reply:
2021 F-150 4x4 models that have a neutral position in the transfer case are capable of being flat towed.
You'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a flat towing wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter.
For base plates, use the Demco tabless base plate, part # DM56MV. For a tow bar, I'd recommend the etrailer SD, part # e34ZR which is self centering and includes safety cables.
For a wiring harness, the # RM-152-98146-7 diode system would work great. For a supplemental braking system, use the Demco Stay In Play # SM99251 for motorhomes with hydraulic brakes or the Demco # SM99243 Air Force One for motorhomes with air brakes. You'll also need a charge line kit, part # RM-156-25 to keep the battery topped off when towing.
If the installed height of the base plates has a height difference greater than 3 inches compared to the receiver height on the motorhome, you'll also need a high/low adapter to bring it within that range. I'll link to a help article that shows how to measure for this, as well as to our selection of high/low adapters.
I'll also link to some install and demonstration videos that you might find helpful.
