Hey Paul, thanks for reaching out. No, we do not offer a base plate or any flat tow products for a 2024 Ford Transit van. This is because you can’t flat tow a 2024 Ford Transit. Ford doesn’t approve it, and the drivetrain just isn’t built for that kind of setup. These vans are rear-wheel drive or AWD with an automatic transmission, and there’s no way to put everything in a true neutral so it can safely roll behind a motorhome. If you try it, you’re very likely going to damage the transmission pretty quickly.

If you need to tow it, your best options are a full trailer or possibly a tow dolly, depending on the configuration. If flat towing is something you plan to do regularly, you’ll want a vehicle that’s specifically designed and approved for it from the factory.
