Parts Needed To Dinghy Tow 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac Behind RV

You will want to consult your owners manual to see what is involved when you flat tow your 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. The items needed to flat-tow are base plates, a tow bar, safety chains, lighting for your Explorer, and most states now require a supplemental brake system.

For the base plates I recommend the Roadmaster Base Plates, part # 474-1. When you are not towing, you can remove the visible part of the brackets from the Explorer, making the system almost invisible.

I then recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520. This tow bar has a quick disconnect system which lets you easily mount and remove the tow bar.

The safety cables I recommend are the RoadMaster Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables, part # RM-643.

The lights that are easiest to install would be a temporary magnetic light kit like part # RM-2120.

For a supplemental braking system I recommend the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Proportional Braking System, part # RM-9400. This is an inertia-activated proportional braking system for quicker and safer stops.

I have attached links to some articles and videos you may find helpful.
