about a towing bar

Hello Order,
Yes, Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain # RM-676 is a tow bar. It has a weight capacity of 8K, and with the the heaviest F-150 model weighing 5,100, this tow bar will work great. It connects to a Roadmaster direct connect base plate. What is great about this tow bar is that it comes with the 6 way connector for the front of your F-150, the cord to go from your coach to the F-150, safety cables, and it also has some pretty awesome lights as well. It would go nicely with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM38VR for your 2021 Ford F-150.
If you are looking for other flat towing components, here is what you need:
-Wiring to get your lights working on the F-150: Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RO44FR
- Charge line kit to ensure your batter is not dead when you get to your destination: Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25.
- You will need a 12V Connector, if your F-150 does not have one: 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332.
- If the brake lights do not work with the towed vehicle's ignition key turned to the "tow" position then you will need: Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000.
- Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional # BLU37TR.
If your F-150 is the Hybrid model please let me know, all of the components mentioned will work with the F-150 if it is NOT a Hybrid. I have also included install videos and instructions of each product. Let me know what you think.
