Hi Jeff!

I have everything you need to get your 2025 Ford Ranger Raptor set up for flat towing below. I did go with the heavier tow bar as your curb weight (right about 5,400 pounds) was getting a little too close to the capacity of the smaller option, so just a heads up on that.

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM23DQ
etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - 10,500 lbs # e84ZR
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
Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000

Are still going to be pulling this with a Super C Diesel motorhome? If so, the Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Air Brakes - Proportional # SM99243 is still my recommendation for a permanent braking system.

Did you not end up getting the Ram you asked about previously?

Thanks for remembering, yes will be pulling with Super C . Hopefully we will be completed and able to pick up around the end of Jan 2026. Decide against the Ram Rebel and are looking to go with the Ranger Raptor. Could not find your previous email, sorry. I did see a You Tube Video, Irene Iron Travel, about their install. We were looking at Bronco as well, but I think we have narrowed it down to the Raptor. Do you still offer free installation for folks or is it just for Influencers.

Lazer, finally picked up Motorhome the end of March, now listing house for sale so we are getting closer. Been hearing some issues with Ranger Raptor towing 4 down. So I Was wondering if you all ever got the baseplates for towing a Ram 1500 Rebel?

@JeffG Nice! Congrats! ^___^ It looks like the Rebel is still a no go for base plates, but what are the issues you are hearing for the Ranger Raptor? From everything I could find on the Raptor, you are still good to go with the Roadmaster parts.

@LazerS Transmission issues after towing and with GMC AT4, throw out bearing issues with the Duramax engines. May just have to get a Regular Ram 1500 with Air Suspension and beef up for Alaska or keep trying to find a Ranger Raptor. Actually full size Ram would be cheaper than the Ranger.

@JeffG If you go with the standard Ram 1500, you would the following parts (just keep in mind these are for a 2025 to 2027). If you are thinking about a different year, just let me kn. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM86DQ etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - 10,500 lbs # e84ZR Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267 Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 Let me know which braking system you end up wanting to go with as there may be a couple other part that will be needed.
