We can get your 2023 Ford Expedition 4WD a Blue Ox flat towing set up. To make it easy to order I'll go ahead and list out the correct parts for you:
- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU76CR
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR
The Blue Ox base plates were a really nice choice for your Expedition because Blue Ox has a deserved reputation for the quality of their base plates, and they also give your truck a nice, clean look when you aren't towing it due to their removable arms.
For the tow bar, the Alpha 2 is super easy to use, connecting with arms that self-align; you just connect the tabs and drive your motorhome forward. Disconnecting is easy too, even when you're not on level ground, because you simply turn a handle on the bar to disengage. The tow bar has a 6,500 lb capacity, which is well over what your Expedition weighs, and it even comes with safety cables so you don't have to purchase those separately.
I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your electrical system safe, and the charge line kit will keep your battery charged as it is being towed. As for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your truck is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems.
