Question:
Hello, we have a customer looking to flat tow a 2020 Ford F150 with a 2019 Holiday Rambler Motorhome, and we were inquiring as far as what we should do for a tow bar, wiring, and brakes. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

For your 2020 Ford F-150, you're going to need a set of tow bars, a braking system, wiring, and a base plate kit.
For a base plate kit, I recommend going with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524431-4. This base plate creates a slick, hidden design when not installed, and feature a simple installation with no welding required.
Moving on to a set of tow bars, the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-677 with the swivel ears # RM-910661 & pins # RM-910029.
These tow bars are great because they come with a set of safety cables and a 7-way to 6-way cable, and features an integrated LED strip so you can easily hook and unhook in low light conditions.
Continuing onto a braking system, I recommend the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 with the Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400.
This braking system is great because not only is this unit very easy to set up, it is also portable, meaning you can easily transport this between toad vehicle's if desired.
Finally, you're going to need a wiring kit # RM-154 to be able to connect your your RV's tail, brake and turn signal lights to your towed car's lighting system.
