Question:
Hello - I am looking for a way to flat tow my truck behind my drivable RV. I have an aftermarket bumper that will not accept a baseplate. My aftermarket bumper has D-ring style tow hooks/shackles built into it. The bumper is built by Addictive Desert Designs and is the Honeybadger model for my 2023 F150 Raptor. Can you recommend a way for me to flat tow my truck behind my drivable RV? Thanks!

So long as you have verified with the manufacturer of the bumper that it is rated for flat towing, we can get your 2023 Ford F-150 Raptor set up with the parts needed. You'll need to use adapters with this bumper, and the right one is simply going to depend on the thickness of the shackles:
- 3/4" Thick: Adapter for D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # RM-035
- 1" Thick: Adapter for D-Ring Bumper Mounts to Roadmaster Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # RM-035-1
Apart from that there's a number of other things you'll need to flat tow your '23 F-150 Raptor, which I'll go ahead and list for you.
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-676
- Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152
- Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75 (This is only needed if your motorhome does not have a charge line/7-way already)
