Question:
Do you have a base plate for a 2025 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4?
asked by: Gary E
Expert Reply:
Hey Gary, yes, we do have a base plate for your 2025 Ford Ranger! What you'll want is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM23DQ.
This base plate has removable arms, has hidden brackets for a non-obtrusive design, and has a simple install with no welding required.
If you're needing a complete setup, you're also going to need:
1. A set of tow bars, like the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # e84ZR,
2. A braking system, like the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251,
&
3. A wiring harness, like the Demco 4-Diode Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # DM9523010-54.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with in the comments below!
