Thank you

Hey Chris! I can definitely help you get set up to flat tow your 2025 Ford Ranger. Blue Ox is great for the base plate kit and tow bar but I typically stick with Roadmaster for the wiring since they're the most reliable. I recommend the following:
-Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU77ER
-Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs # BX7420 (includes safety cables)
-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights - 7-Way to 6-Way Adapter Cord # RM38FR
-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
-Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
-Roadmaster Stop Light Switch Kit # RM64TQ
The Stay-IN-Play Duo for hydraulic brakes you referenced is my favorite permanent brake system so that is also a great choice. As long as you have a hitch and 7-way on your motorhome you don't have to worry about wiring on the RV side. If your 7-way doesn't have a charge line you will need to add the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Motorhomes # RM-156-75 as well.
Any trips coming up with your motorhome?
