What Diodes Are Required For Flat Towing a 2023 Ford F-150?

Question

Question:

I've been told I cannot use the diodes included in the RoadMaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain Combo Towing Kit - 10,000 lbs Item # RM-9243-3 on my 2023 Ford F-150. What diodes or other lighting will I need?

Your 2023 Ford F-150 will require variable voltage diodes. We have them for LED Tail Lights # RO54FR or Incandescent Tail Lights # RO34FR. You can use these diodes in place of the ones included with the RoadMaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain Combo Towing Kit # RM-9243-3.
