Question:
I have a 2023 Lincoln Nautilus. Which is the best base plate, wiring light harness, brake system and tow bar for this application. Does a hard wired or Patriot brand removable make the most sense? I’d like to keep installation complexity to a minimum. Thank you.

So long as you have the 2.7L V6 engine, the best parts to flat tow your 2023 Lincoln Nautilus with are listed below:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates item # e74ZR
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # RM57RR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Battery Disconnect - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Flat Tow Brake System item # RM-766
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # BLU37TR
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.
Since you do not want a complicated installation, I strongly suggest going with the portable Blue Ox Patriot item # BLU37TR over a more complicated permanently installed system like the Demco Stay-IN-Play item # SM99251.
