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!

Hey Gary, did the Roadmaster base plate work out for your Ford Ranger? I'd love to know how it went, as it could help others looking to set up their vehicles for towing.
