Question:
Hi, I thought I found a kit or info on which tow bar, mounts and wiring kit to use to tow my 2024 F150 Lariat 4x4 SB V6, but cant find anything now. I was looking at roadmaster and etrailer non binding, but I cant find system now. What are my best options? I have a 6k Roadmaster all terrain non-binding tow bar now, but 6k isnt enough for my 5800lb truck. Thanx for any help.

Hi Dean!
We definitely have what you need to set up your 2024 Ford F150 Lariat 4x4 with the short bed and V6. I have everything I recommend listed below:
Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM45EQ
etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - RV Mount - 10,500 lbs # e84ZR
Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267
Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
The braking system will depend on a few things and I have the three option I recommend below. All will need the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 to keep your F150's brake signal from overriding the turn signal sent by your RV.
Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System - Proportional # BLU37TR
Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes - Proportional # SM99251
Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243
The Blue Ox is a portable unit, but the 2 Demco options are permanent. You will just need to know if your RV has air or hydraulic brakes to choose the correct one.
Speaking of which, what kind of RV will you be towing your truck with?

I'm looking at e86YR etrailer base plate kit with etrailer tow bar you mentioned XHD non binding. I'm also looking at the M&GBrake system with my 2008 Holiday Rambler Ambassador 40SKQ with air brakes. Also both of the wiring kits you mentioned and a Voltage monitor for F150 to make sure it stays in flat tow mode. Hows this sound? Thanx Dean
