Question:
What parts do I need to purchase to attach to my 2024 F 150 to flat tow it. I already bought the hitch from you all last year. Hopefully it will fit my F150 as I got rid of the Ranger

Hello Layne, thanks for getting in touch. So we can definitely help set your 2024 Ford F-150 up for flat towing. Sadly, the base plate from a Ford Ranger will not transfer over to an F-150, so you will need a new base plate. Here are the parts I recommend:
- etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e86YR
- etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,500 lbs # e94ZR
- Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
- Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
- Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
Keep in mind the charge line and brake lite relay are required. Also, you may need a drop hitch to compensate for any height differences between the base plate arms and the hitch on your RV. Any difference of more than 3 inches will require a drop hitch such as part # BLU28XR.
I linked a few install videos below for each part I mentioned. Any cool trips planned once you get all of this hooked up? Have you flat towed before? Feel free to reach out if there is anything else I can do to help.
