Hi Robert; hopefully your Roadmaster tow bar is one that attaches to direct-connect base plates as opposed to crossbar base plates; for example the 8,000 lb Roadmaster Sterling would be optimal. Assuming that, here is what you need to flat tow your 2024 Ram 1500 with a tow bar like the Sterling # RM-576:
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-522203-5
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System - MOTORHOME WITH HYDRAULIC BRAKES:... view full answer...
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... view full answer...

For base plates what you need is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5, and the wiring will just depend on if you get the optional ParkSense system (which is a back-up/parking assist system). If you do NOT get ParkSense... view full answer...

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR.
Tow Bar: Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422.

Hey Gary, the Hopkins tow bar lighting kit part # HM56200 that you referenced carries the stoplight circuit so the brake lights of the Jeep you have it installed in will still function regardless of if you have a braking system pressing the brake pedal or not. view full answer...

Hey Mike, you're going to want to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen for Towed Vehicles # RM-4750 since # BX1312 is a direct connect base plate which means you'd use a direct connect tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-525.
But, If you have a crossbar style tow bar that uses quick connects then you'd need # RM-4700.
If you're needing to complete your setup then you're also going to need a braking system, like the Blue Ox Patriot Portable... view full answer...

You would want to use the Flat Tow Wiring Kit # RM-15267 to integrate your tail lights to operate off the tow vehicle.

Hey Mike, so the easiest to use base plate kits are the Blue Ox ones so for your 2022 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon the base plate you would want is the part # BLU53FR which fits the factory steel and plastic bumpers. If you went with an aftermarket bumper I can't guarantee this would work though.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the... view full answer...

Hey Mark, so the correct Blue Ox base plate kit to use with the Blue Ox Ascent tow bar part # BX4375. is the part # BLU53FR.
For lighting you can use # C96JR, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing as this plugs inline with the taillight connectors.
Then for the braking system the Air Force One part # SM99243 would be what you would want and you'd be set. view full answer...

JC, if it were me I'd go with the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Flat Tow Brake System for RVs w/ Hydraulic Brakes # SM99251. It is a bit more expensive, but it's easily one of the best braking systems on the market, so you'd be paying for more of a premium system, which when it comes to your overall safety, is worth the investment.
Also, for a new wiring kit you're going to want the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This kit is going to come with a brand new... view full answer...
