asked by: John B

Expert Reply:

Yes, it does John. So long as you have the Ford Performance Heavy Duty Modular Front Bumper with the tow hooks, the easiest way to flat tow it is to use the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C59JR. This adapter connects right to the tow hooks without any modification to your Bronco.

Please note that the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C59JR, will only work with the Curt Rambler Non-Binding Tow Bar item # C26FR. There is no adapter or way to use this baseplate with another manufacturer, including Roadmaster, Blue Ox, or Demco.

Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2025 Ford Bronco:

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.

What kind of motorhome do you have?

Thanks for the info , so am I able to use the blue ox patriot system to as a brake controller with the recommended tow plate and hitch ?

@John Yes, that is correct! The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # BLU37TR will definitely work with this setup.

@JerredH Thanks for the help I received the items today and hitch and plate connection works great , I do have one question is there another mount to purchase for the safety chains ? How would those connect there is only the eyelets in the front for the hitch itself

@John Hey John, you're welcome! Happy to hear you got everything set up. There is no part that offers an alternative mounting point for the safety chains with the Curt item # C59JR. If you look at the picture above you'll see the safety chains attached to the recovery hooks below the baseplate adapters.

@John That's something you don't see everyday. Where did you pick one of those up?

@JerredH Yes you don’t usually see these I built this one esp for us . As for the brake control my thoughts was to hook it up to a spare jackery box I have that way I don’t have to tap into vehicle power , the one I have as 500ah of use

@John The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # BLU37TR just plugs into the accessory port or whatever they call a cigarette lighter now. So tapping into an external battery seems a bit excessive. How are you planning on controlling your Bronco's lighting functions?
