Can a 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor be Flat Towed?

Question

Question:

I spoke to Roadmaster directly and they cannot confirm that part number RM23QD will fit a 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor. Do you have any experience with this part working on my model of truck? Thank you

Hey Don, thanks for reaching out!

The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM23DQ fits the Ford Ranger starting with the 2025 model year which is why you aren't seeing it listed as a fit.

I took a look at the online owner's manual for your Ranger, and it looks like Ford says it has to be towed on a trailer which explains why you aren't seeing flat towing equipment for your truck.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
