Expert Reply:
I really like our etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98962 for your 2018 Ford Explorer because it looks really sleek and hidden when the tabs are removed (see attached photo).
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
