Question:

I am looking to purchase a 2023 Ford Bronco sport. I am wanting to know what I need to flat tow this behind my 2020 Ford 550 Thor super C. I don’t know if I can put the bronco in transfer case neutral. Any help would be appreciated

Hey Mark, we have the part you'll need to flat tow your 2023 Ford Bronco Sport. The first thing you need is the correct base plate kit which for that you'd want the Direct Connect kit part # RM79RR.

This will work great with the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 that you referenced. Then for a lighting kit you'd want the RM-9284-2 which also comes with a storage bag for the Nighthawk and a hitch lock setup.

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.

Use your owners manual to determine what procedures are needed to flat tow the vehicle.
