What base plate to you recommend for a 2024 Ford F150 Tremor? Does it interfere with the skidplates or bumper it is different than the normal F150. Thanks in advance.

Hey Michael,

Since you have the Tremor package I recommend going with a baseplate like the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e86YR that only replaces the tow hooks to avoid having to cut up your front fascia. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations:

Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e94ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head/shank has a built in tilt and rise/drop to help keep the tow bar level between the motorhome and F-150.

Tow Bar Wiring Kit: If you have LED tail lights then you'll need the Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR. For Incandescent bulbs you'll need the # RM26FR instead. These kits would transfer your traffic signals from the motorhome over to the F-150's tail lights.

Braking System: If you motorhome has hydraulic brakes then you'll want the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo # SM99251. This will need to tap into the cold side of the brake light switch which isn't useable in your F-150 so you'll need to connect the indicator light from this system to the output of a stop light switch kit # RM-751000.

If your motorhome has air brakes then you'll want the Demco Air Force One # SM99243 instead. This activates the indicator light using a reed switch so a stop light switch kit wouldn't be needed.

Since the battery will drain while towing I highly recommend also installing a charge line kit # RM-156-25. If your motorhome doesn't have a charge line ran to the 7-way then you'll need the # RM-156-75 as well.

Hey Michael, how did the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit work out on your F-150 Tremor with the skid plates and bumper? It’d be great to know if the fit was as clean as expected. Your update could make it easier for other Tremor owners planning a similar setup.
