Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2013 Smart fortwo Passion you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e47ZR
Base Plate Kit - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX1987
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Battery Disconnect Switch - Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect item # RM-766
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # BLU37TR
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
