No Splice Flat Tow Lighting Solution for 2004 Ford Ranger XL
Updated 09/12/2025 | Published 08/26/2025
Question:
I have a 2004 Ford Range XL that I will be flat towing behind my RV. I am looking for a couple of options to wire the trucks brakes and turn signal to the RV. I prefer to plug the wires into the trucks lights, rather than drilling holes into the back of the light lens.

Hey Jim, since you are wanting an easier install for flat tow lighting for your 2004 Ford Ranger XL the Blue Ox kit part # BLU43HR would be your best option. This plugs inline with your taillight connectors which means no splicing or drilling required! Do you have everything else needed to flat tow already picked out?
