Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor With 2018 Newmar Dutch Star 4369  

Updated 04/29/2026 | Published 04/27/2026

Question:

I have a 2018 Newmar Dutch Star 4369 that came already setup for the Air Force One system and I’d like to flat tow my 2023 Bronco Raptor. The RV also came with the BlueOx tow bar, air hose and 7pin - 4pin wire. Looks like I need to components for the Raptor. Is this correct?

Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. You are on the right track here - you really just need parts for the towed vehicle, and I can provide you with a full parts list. Here is the rest of what you'll need to flat tow your 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor:

- etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e57FV (for standard factory plastic bumper)

- Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 (For incandescent lights. Use part # RO94FR for LED taillights)

- Pollak Heavy-Duty, 4-Pole, Round Pin Trailer Wiring Socket - Metal - Vehicle End # PK11404

- Second Vehicle Kit for Demco Air Force One Flat Tow Brake System # SM99209

That will cover all the main components. The etrailer base plate will be directly compatible with your Blue Ox tow bar. I do recommend grabbing a cover # BLU53QV and hitch lock # e98881 to protect your tow bar. You also may end up needing a drop hitch like part # BLU28XR to compensate for any height differences between the base plate arms and the hitch on your RV. Any difference of more than 3" will require a drop hitch.

Have you flat towed before? What's the first trip you have planned once you get everything set up?

Thanks Jesse. Quick follow up question. The Raptor doesn't come with a plastic bumper. It has a more aggressive steel type of bumper. Am I still good?

@MikeH Ok gotcha! For that you'll need the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e56GV instead of the # e57FV I mentioned above. The rest of the parts will be the same it's just a different base plate.
