Question:
I have a 2019 Expedition 4wd -4h only. It looks like this will still fit but there is a note for only 4L models. I got under the vehicle and it’s the same set up as what I saw in the video you guys have posted. If this won’t work unless it’s a 4L version, what base plate is needed for the 4H version?

Hey Greg. I checked with Demco and it's not a fit issue. The item # DM56MV works with all the 2019 Ford Expeditions. Does yours have a 4 low option? If it does not the owner's manual says you can't flat tow it.
Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow a 2019 Ford Expedition:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect item # e94ZR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-156-25
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System item # BLU37TR
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.

Hey Greg, did you get a chance to check whether your Expedition has the 4 low option for flat towing? Knowing what you found could help others trying to confirm if the Demco base plate works with their setup. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same question.
