Hi Randy; we do have base plate kits like the Roadmaster # RM28FR that will fit your 2020 Ford F-250. However, none of them will be compatible with a grille guard like the Ranch Hand. They use the same mounting space so I'm sorry to say the grille guard will have to be removed for flat towing.

Hey Randy, did you end up removing the Ranch Hand grille guard so you could use the Roadmaster base plate on your F-250? Knowing how that setup worked out could help others trying to flat tow with a similar guard.
