Helpful Expert Reply:

Since you have a 2014 Lincoln MKX and a Blue Ox tow bar the correct base plate kit you'd need is the part # BX2625 which fits with and without adaptive cruise control. Since your motorhome has air brakes the supplemental braking system you'd need is the SBS Air Force One part # SM99243.

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.

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.
