• Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2000 Ford Ranger with a Blue Ox RangeFinder II Tow Bar
  I believe the best option you have to flat tow your 2000 Ford Ranger would be the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 483-1 used with the Blue Ox Rangefinder II to Roadmaster Bracket Adapter # RM-037.

  I went on the Remco site and looked up a 2008 Honda Element. I did not see the SC model excluded anywhere in the application charts.
