Parts Needed To Flat Tow A 2023 Lincoln Navigator

Question:

Please advise the parts needed to set up a 2023 Lincoln Navigator to be flat towed with a Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar. I currently tow a 2019 F-150 using the RVi3 braking system. Thank you

Since Roadmaster doesn't currently have a baseplate for the 2023 Lincoln Navigator you'll have to use a different branded baseplate and an adapter to connect to your Nighthawk Tow Bar # RM-676. You could use the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e86YR along with the adapter # e98984.

At this time no manufacturers have been able to confirm if diode kits would be compatible with the factory wiring of the vehicle so all I can recommend is the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights # TL21RK to transfer your traffic signals from the motorhome to the Navigator.

I'm assuming that you want to reuse your current braking system so you'll likely need to reach out to the manufacturer for a second set of wiring for the breakaway switch so you can transfer it over.

You'll want to following the instructions listed in your owner's manual under the "recreationally towing your vehicle" section.
