Hey Val,
For a 2024 Ford Bronco with a modular bumper you would need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU23XR. A Blue Ox tow bar would be a compatible fit with these baseplates, just make sure you pick one with the correct sized shank for your motorhome's trailer hitch and give it a once over for its condition. If the tow bar wasn't properly maintained you might be buying something that's going to bind up and require replacement parts. If you want to buy new you can go with the Avail # BX7420.
If you haven't picked out your lighting or braking system then I have the following recommendations:
Lighting: Bronco's can come with variable voltage tail lights, which will change which type of diodes you'll need. Variable voltage tail lights use the same wire for the brake signal and running lights instead of the standard turn/brake wire setup. To determine if you have variable voltage tail lights you'll need to pull the tail light out to get to the wiring and test wires with a probe tester # PTW2993 in order to see if the same wire powers both the running lights and brakes.
If you do have variable voltage LED tail lights then you'll need the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR or Incandescent # RM26FR. If you do not then you can just use standard diodes, like those included with part # RM-15267.
Braking System: If your motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. This system comes with an indicator light that will need to splice into the brake light switch. Since this wire isn't useable in your Bronco you'll need to install a Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000 for the signal instead.
If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll need the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead, which won't need a stop light switch kit.
