Expert Reply:

Yes, there is indeed a Demco tabless base plate that fits your 2021 Ford F-150, and I verified this fit with Demco for you. This is a really nice choice for your truck because these are the least obtrusive installation, bolting right into where your tow hooks are. Along with these base plates, there are a number of other parts needed for you to flat tow your '21 Ford F-150, which I'll list out for you:

- Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM56MV

- Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR

- LED Tail Lights Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR
OR
- Incandescent Tail Lights Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail Lights # RM26FR

- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25

- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400

- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR

Along with the Demco base plates, the etrailer SD tow bar is the best option because it has very long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, and comes with integrated safety cables and an adjustable tilting head so a high-low adapter won't be needed. The tow bar has a 6,000 lb capacity which is more than enough for your 2021 Ford F-150.

The wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, which keeps your truck's electrical system safe. The charge line kit is needed to keep your battery charged while it is being towed, and the Brake Lite relay is needed to ensure your F-150's brake signals don't override your motorhome's turn signals.

As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your truck is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems.
