Question:
I have a Class A rv and a BX7365 BlueOx tow bar system and Brake Buddy. I just bought a 2018 F-150 King Ranch and want to flat tow it. Can I remove the front tow hooks and connect BlueOx to the tow hook mounting points, instead of buying a base plate? I saw a Jeep that had setup like this! Thank you

Expert Reply:
Yes, you can do that for your 2018 Ford F-150 King Ranch!
An excellent option, that works great with your Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7365, which is no longer available, is the:
- Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BO74FR.
This base plate kit will install in place of your tow hooks, and will provide your truck with the appropriate mounting points for your tow bar.
Please note, that when the tow hooks are removed for installation, they are not to be reinstalled. So if you wanted to use your tow hooks again, you'd have to uninstall the base plate kit and reinstall your tow hooks.
The last item you'd need for flat towing is a set of tow bar wiring like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7.
This wiring kit is needed to provide your toad with your RVs turn, brake, and taillights.
I have also included an installation video of # BO74FR being installed on a 2018 Ford F-150 for you to check out as well.
