Question:

Good morning - I am looking to flat tow my new 2025 Ford Bronco with heavy duty steel bumper oem with my sprinter 4500 chassis. Can you please recommend a tow bar and the necessary components for me to purchase from you to accomplish this? Thank you for your assistance.

Good morning to you as well!

I would be happy to Anthony and congrats on your new truck! To flat tow your 2025 Ford Bronco with the Ford Performance Heavy Duty Modular Front Bumper you will need the following parts:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Curt Rambler Non-Binding Tow Bar item # C26FR

Base Plate Kit - Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C59JR

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your tail light wiring to display the signals from your motorhome through the tail lights of your Bronco. If you have variable voltage LED's then you'll want to use item # RM38FR instead.

Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit item # RM-156-25

Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251 or item # SM99243 if your motorhome has air brakes

Brake Light Switch - Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM64TQ

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.

If you have any additional questions or concerns go ahead and throw them into the comment box below and I'll be happy to help you.

Thanks for the information. One follow up, if I prefer to use the Nighthawk Townar from Roadmaster or the Demco Dominator, how would that impact the parts I would need? Thank you!

@AnthonyF Not much really. You would need to use the Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates-item # DM9511012-BX. This comes with an adapter that attaches to the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C59JR. Going with a Roadmaster tow bar would mean a different base plate like item # RM92ZR, which will cost you your tow hooks.

@JerredH Sounds like I should stick to your original suggestion for the best overall setup. Do you have any good recommendations for installation from any companies located in central Florida?

@AnthonyF I do prefer the Demco tow bars over the Curt one but as far as baseplates go you'll want to stick to the Curt item # C59JR for not only simplicity but your Bronco's going to look a whole lot better with those tow hooks. As far as installers go, if you go to the product page of the Curt item # C59JR and scroll down below the pics on the left side you'll see a box that says, SCHEDULE AN INSTALLATION. Go ahead and click on it and it will take you to a page where you'll be able to enter your zip code. Once you do this you'll be connected to our network of reputable installers in your area.
