Question:

Hello, I have a 2024 Ford Bronco, planning to flat tow - looking at the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar and was wondering if there was a quick connect bracket, or, which base plate you would recommend. Thanks

Hey Darin, so the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 is a really great tow bar that will work great for you so what you would need is the correct Roadmaster direct connect style base plate kit to use with it. If you have the standard bumper you'd just need the # RM79RR or if you have the Ford Performance bumper you'd need the part # RM92ZR.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
