For flat towing your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD behind your Class A motorhome you'll want to go with the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 if your motorhome has a 2" receiver, or the Apollo # BX7470 if you have a 2-1/2" receiver instead. The Avail tow bar has a 10,000lb rating, and the Apollo has a 15,000lb rating, both of which are more than strong enough to tow your truck even if you have some extra cargo loaded in it.

To round out your flat tow setup you'll still need the following parts:

Base plate kit # RM28FR
Roadmaster to Blue Ox Adapter # RO64FR
Wiring # RM-15267
Braking System # BLU37TR

The last thing you will likely need is a high low adapter, though you'll need to measure for the correct one. I link a help article below that'll walk you through how to do this.

I also highly recommend checking out the recreational towing section of your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure you follow all of the steps needed to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
