Expert Answers about Ford Tow Bar Wiring


  • Tow Bar Lighting and Trailer Wiring that Fits 2022 Jeep Wrangler
  • Hey Rodney, good question so there isn't a single harness that will do both a tow bar lighting and trailer wiring solution but you can install both at the same time. So for trailer wiring you could use the Tekonsha part # 118786 and then for the tow bar lighting kit you'd want the part # C96JR. Basically the two kits would plug into each other and then back into your vehicle.

  • All Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Ford Ranger With Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • Hey there Tyler; thanks for the question and we can get the 2021 Ford Ranger set up to be flat towed behind your motorhome. In regards to the tow bar, since the Ranger weighs not even 4,500 lbs you definitely don't need to spend more money to get the 10k tow bar, a less-expensive (but just as effective) option is what I would go with. As for the brakes are you talking about your motorhome? If it's a Ford F-550 it will have hydraulic brakes and not air brakes. So all that said, here are...

  • Recommended Parts For Flat Towing 2007 Chevy Tahoe Behind Motorhome
  • Hi Michael, We can get your 2007 Chevy Tahoe set up to be flat towed behind your Winnebago motorhome, and for base plates and a tow bar I recommend going with Blue Ox as the base plates will fit both the hybrid and non-hybrid versions and their tow bars have a higher capacity than most, which is needed for a big SUV like your Tahoe. For wiring and the brake system though, Roadmaster is what I like the most because we've seen over time the quality of both parts of the flat tow systems,...

  • Does Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar Have Capacity to Flat Tow 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • It sounds like you have a Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 which has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs.

So for a base plate kit for the Grand Cherokee you would want the # RM-521440-5 which is a confirmed fit, easy to use, and compatible with the Falcon 2. The price for this is available at the links below. For lighting/safety cables, locks,...
