Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar item # RM-576 is compatible with both direct connect and crossbar style base plates so depending on which model you have you may need to remove the crossbar. The base plates for the 2022 Ford Bronco install where the D-rings are mounted. They have to be removed as they are not rated to be flat towed with.
To flat tow your 2022 Ford Bronco you will need the following parts:
Safety Chains - Roadmaster item # RM-643
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM79RR for standard bumper. Or item # RM92ZR for Ford Performance bumper.
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights item # RM38FR or for Incandescent tail lights item # RM26FR
Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
