Question:
Hello, I’m new to this and want to make sure I’m getting all the essentials I’ll be needing to flat tow my 2018 Tacoma limited. Looking to tow it with a 2004 Itasca Suncruiser 35u Thank you in advance

Hey Sergio, thanks for reaching out!
Flat tow parts can be a daunting task, especially since it isn't exactly cheap. Here are the parts I recommend for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma!
- Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521196-5
- Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676
- Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Braking System # DM86VR
- High-Low Adapter (see attached article - bracket height is 15-3/4")
I really like this selection of parts because it gives you the best-looking setup as well as the easiest connections to make since everything stays installed on your Tacoma but also out of the way so you won't notice it when you aren't flat towing.

double checking…This is all i need for 2018 Toyota Tacoma Limited? It is not manual, it’s Auto Transmission. 4 wheel selector does not have a neutral position.
