Question:
Can you send me a list of everything that I need to flat to my 2026 Ford F2 50? I currently have a roadmaster set up for my other vehicle. For my wiring, I want to keep it as simple as possible so if there is a custom harness out there, that’s what I want to go with. Thank you.

Hey Shane! I would be happy to provide you with a list of everything you need to flat tow your 2026 Ford F-250. I recommend the following:
-Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM62EQ
-Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar # RM27NQ
-Roadmaster 80" Hybrid Coiled-to-Straight Safety Cables # RM-674
-Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267
-Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25
Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
-Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System # RVI94FR (if you use this system you don't need the charge line above)
I'm not sure what you plan to use from your other setup so if you're carrying over the tow bar/safety cables or have a portable brake system you can ignore those parts. I wanted to include everything just so it is covered. A custom wiring kit might be available but it is not something we have at this time. We still typically recommend the Roadmaster diode kit because it is the most reliable wiring out there.
You may also need a high-low adapter like the etrailer High-Low Adjustable Adapter for Tow Bars # e52ZV to keep your setup level. I went ahead and attached an article below which explains how to measure and choose the right adapter.
Any big trips coming up with your motorhome once you get your F-250 set up?

Hey Shane, how did your flat tow setup for the F-250 come together with the Roadmaster parts? Did the diode wiring kit end up being as simple as you were hoping? Your update could make it easier for others planning a similar setup.
