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.

@SergioD These are the parts you'll need for flat towing, although if you check your owner's manual it looks like it states you need to tow the vehicle on a trailer with all the wheels off the ground. Some people find ways around that, so you'll need to tow your Tacoma at your discretion.
