Question:

I have a 2022 Ford F-150 that I want to flat tow behind a class A motorhome. I already have a Blue Ox Alpha 2 tow-bar from my previous towed that I would like to reuse but need the remaining full package for flat-towing.

Helpful Expert Reply:

For a complete flat towing setup you need 5 primary items, a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle wiring to link your towed vehicles indicator lights with your motorhome, and a supplemental braking system. Sometimes additional items may be necessary for braking and/or charging system and possibly a high-low adapter. This is used to adjust the tow-bar angle to ensure it sets in that desired +/- 3" of level range.

For your 2022 Ford F-150, I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar, # BX7380 that you already have and comes with the needed safety cables.

I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BLU33FR that fits all trim levels of the 2022 Ford F-150.

The Roadmaster Wiring Kit, # RM-152-1676-7 for indicator lights.

For supplemental braking, I suggest the Roadmaster InvisiBrake System, # RM-8700 and the relay kit, # RM-88400 along with the Stop Light Switch Kit, # RM-751000 and the Charge Line Kit, # RM-156-25.

As mentioned above, you will possibly need a high-low adapter to level the tow bar to your vehicle, so I have included a link to a helpful article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link to all of our high-low adapters for you to take a look at.

It is important to look over the recreational towing section of your vehicles owner's manual for any special steps required to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed, and for any restrictions. Please note the linked product review and installation videos below.
