Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

It's the same part we just use a different inventory number. The correct Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2023 Ford F-150 Hybrid is item # BLU33FR which is also BX2686. This base plate kit is custom fit and works with all Blue Ox tow bars. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

The rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your F-150 Hybrid are listed below:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX4370

Wiring Harness - (Incandescent Tail Lights) Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM26FR
or (LED Tail Lights) Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit # RM38FR

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

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.
