Question:

Hi, God bless you. I would like to flat tow an f 450 pickup truck, do you have any base plate and bar available? Is even possible to do it? Thank you in advance.

Hello Ivan, and you as well!

Flat towing a Ford F-450 Super Duty is tough because the truck just isn’t built for it. There are no tow-bar or base-plate kits made for the F-450, and Ford’s flat-towing rules depend heavily on having the right transfer case and transmission, which the F-450 doesn’t offer in a way that supports four-down towing. Even if you wanted to make it work, you’d risk damaging the drivetrain. Don't get me wrong it’s a great truck, just not a good candidate to drag behind a motorhome.

The only way to take it with your would be to put the truck on a trailer. The F450s are pretty heavy though so you would need to make sure your RV could handle a trailer load upwards of probably 9,000 or 10,000 lbs.

What RV do you have?

A renegade 45, has 40k hitch. Wouldn't be a problem for that side. Thank you again.

@IvanM Ok nice yes that motorhome is a beast but the F450 just isn't cut out for flat towing. If you can get a car trailer that would work great. That or find a different vehicle to flat tow. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help!
