Question:

I have a 2019 F-450 Super Duty with built in brake controller and trailer management software. My toad will be a 2024 Bronco Black Diamond. What is the best actuator to use in the Bronco? What would a good setup be for all towing hardware?

Hey Bril, so we can definitely help but the brake controller and trailer management software won't work with a flat towing setup as that only works with trailer towing.

You'd first want the part # RM92ZR for a base plate kit that fits your 2024 Ford Bronco Black Diamond. I confirmed your vehicle has the modular bumper which this kit is a confirmed fit for.

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.

For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the tow bar we have the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain kit part # RM-9243-1 which comes with all of that as one part number. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Hey Bril, how did the setup with the Roadmaster base plate and Blue Ox Patriot braking system work out for your Bronco? Your experience could point others toward a solid flat towing setup for similar vehicles.
