Base Plates and Other Recommended Equipment to Flat Tow 1991 Ford F150 4WD  

Question:

I have this tow bar and need to know what items will be required to connect it to the truck. The truck CAN be towed, it is a standard, and the linkages can be set into Neutral for the drive-shaft.

The Roadmaster Falcon has a 6000 lb capacity, so as long as the as-towed weight of your truck is under that, the tow bar should work fine. The base plates you need that would permanently install on the truck will depend on how he truck is equipped.

For the F150 4WD, use the # 414-1 base plate kit, which is a fit as long as the vehicle doesn't use front leaf springs.

You'll also need a few other items to complete your towing system. For safety cables, I'd recommend part # RM-645. So the vehicles lights work in tandem with the RV, you'll need a lighting solution. Part # RM-2120 provides a magnetic light kit that's quick and easy to install and remove. For a more permanent option, go with # RM-154 for a hardwired kit. Almost all states and Canadian provinces require a supplemental braking system. For a easy to use system use the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.

I'll link you to the parts I've recommended as well as to some of our flat towing articles that I hope you'll find helpful.
