Question:
I am looking to purchase a wiring kit for flat towing. The vehicle is a 2023 Ford F-150 Platinum. Will the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit work or will I need smart diode kit?
asked by: Andy S
Expert Reply:
Hey Andy! You will need the smart diode kit for your F-150. The correct kit depends on whether you have incandescent or LED tail lights. You can choose from the following:
-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage Incandescent Tail Lights # RM26FR
-Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights # RM38FR
You will also need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 to complete your wiring.
Do you have your tow bar, base plate, and brake system picked out already?
