Question:

I have a Demco towbar, is there an adaptor for blue ox if I put a blue ox base plate on my 2013 Ford F150 FX four space 3.5 eco-boost or is there a Demco base plate for the eco-boost

In order to fit your Demco tow bar to the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BO74FR for your 2013 Ford F-150 FX4 EcoBoost you need the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Demco Tow Bars # BX88310. These simply install on the arms of your tow bar and match up directly with the tabs on the base plate kit. It doesn't look like Demco has a base plate kit that fits the FX4 EcoBoost so the adapters are the way to go!

Attached is an installation video of the Blue Ox base plates on a 2012 Ford F-150 for you to check out.

For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
