Thanks for the information Bob! Flat towing a leased 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands without making any modifications is going to be creative when it comes to powering your lights and a braking system but we do have all the parts you'll need.

I've got two options for baseplates that don't involve permanent modifications of any kind but which one you need depends on whether your Bronco Badlands came with the stock plastic bumper or the upgraded Ford Performance Heavy Duty Modular Bumper. I've listed both options below:

Ford Performance Bumper - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e56GV

Standard Plastic Bumper - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e57FV

Here are the rest of the parts that you'll need:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e94ZR

Wiring for Lights - Roadmaster Universal Magnetic Tow Lights item # RM-2120

Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable item # BLU37TR

What bumper do you have on your Bronco and how far are you planning on traveling when you're flat towing?

You can add this information, along with any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Thank you so much for the information! It is a plastic bumper and it is going to be a retirement plan for me and my wife. We are hoping to be traveling across the USA : )

I just noticed you provided the information for a Ford Bronco “Bad Lands” not Ford Bronco “Big Bend” would this change any of the products?

@RobertW No, not at all. Apologies for the confusion. The bumpers are going to be the same for the baseplate kits and you're not getting into the factory wiring.
