Expert Reply:

Yes, the etrailer part number, # BLU97XR is the Blue Ox part number BX2687. This is a base plate kit for flat towing a 2021 Ford Bronco.

If you do not already have a tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380 as it features a non-binding type latch that make it easy to unhook tow bar on any terrain; it will also has a swivel function that makes it easy to connect, even on unlevel ground. It also comes with safety cables included so you won't have to purchase any separately.

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.

You will also need a supplemental braking system, I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot 3 Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System, # BLU37TR. This system offers precise, responsive braking with a system that can be easily switched between towed cars. The LED display lets you easily adjust braking power, apply manual override, and monitor the system from your motorhome.
