The Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Towbar, part # RM-576 includes a female 6-pin plug that would mount to the vehicle being flat towed, so the 6-way umbilical included with the Sterling tow bar would work great for your 2014 CR-V. The wire is 78 inches long, which should be plenty long enough so that no extensions should be needed. The Sterling tow bar provides a channel on the tow bar for the wire to run through, for a clean look and to also provide protection for the wiring.

I have added a photo for you from the instructions showing the location where the base plate arms protrude on your 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman after installing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307.
As you can see, you will have to trim the chrome piece on your Mini so the arms have a place to extend out for the tow bar to attach. Speaking of the tow bar, you'll need that along with the wiring and braking systems to flat tow your '12 Clubman, and I'll go ahead and list out below what you need:

For a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado you only flat tow four-wheel-drive vehicles that have an N (Neutral) and a Four-Wheel Drive Low (4 (n) setting. Look for knob on the dashboard. This will most likely be the last position on the right of the knob and be an "N" that will illuminate when placed in neutral.
First apply the parking brake and start the engine. Then shift the transfer case to N (Neutral). Verify that the vehicle is in N (Neutral) by shifting the transmission to R (Reverse) and... view full answer...
According to a Certified GMC Tech I checked with, your 2020 GMC Sierra will not register the towed miles if your dashboard is not "live". Meaning, if you do not have the ignition on or in the accessory position when flat towing there will be no power to the electronic items that register the rotation/movement of the wheels.
To flat tow your 2020 GMC Sierra, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. If you need some... view full answer...
Flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome requires a number of components in order to be safe and legally compliant in all states. Those items are detailed in the linked article and include a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit, sometimes a wiring extension and high/low hitch adapter, and also a set of base plates and a braking system for the toad.
I recommend Blue Ox base plates # BX2618 along with the Alpha tow bar # BX7380 since these work together without adapters and the... view full answer...
I'm not certain which adapter you used, but the # RM-031 adapter would install at the end of the tow bar arms and allow you to attach to the Blue Ox base plate on your Jeep Cherokee.
To complete your towing system, you'll need safety cables like # RM-643, a wiring harness like part # RM-154, a wiring umbilical like part # RM-164-7 and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot 3 # BLU37TR. The Patriot 3 is a portable unit that will take only moments to install and remove.

I took a look at the online owner's manual for a 2020 Ford Fusion Hybrid, and it stated it can be flat towed with four wheels on the ground, or on a trailer with four wheels off the ground, without mention of a tow dolly, so it does not seem to be an option. If you do decide to flat tow your Fusion Hybrid, here are all the recommended parts you need:
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524458-5
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar... view full answer...
There isn't actually another connector needed for the Curt Tow Bar Extension Cord w/ Socket - Coiled - 7-Way RV - 96" Cord # C39HR.
One end will plug into the 7-way already on your motorhome and the other end plugs into the 7-way that is included with the cord. That 7-way will be wired to the vehicle you are towing. view full answer...

Great question.
The only adapter we have that will work with a Ready Brute is the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Ready Brute Elite Tow Bars # BX88297.
This adapter, will work with the tow bar but won't work with the D-rings. You would need a blue ox base plate. For me to get you the proper base plate I would need more information about your bumper and some pics of it.
We have two sizes of D-ring adapters 1 inch and 3/4 inch. Two examples of this would be the Adapter for Jeep... view full answer...
To flat tow your 1993 Jeep Wrangler you will need a Tow Bar, Safety Cables, a Base Plate Kit, Vehicle Tow Bar Lighting, and most likely a Supplemental Braking System and High-Low Adapter.
If you are talking about using a Supplemental Braking System for flat towing your Jeep then I highly recommend it. Not only does it make your flat towing setup more safe, but it is also a requirement in most states. You can check the rules for flat towing in any states that you will be passing through... view full answer...
Yes, a 2018 Forest River Forester Motorhome on the Ford E-450 series chassis with a V10 engine should be capable of towing about 7,500 lbs. But I suggest you verify this with your vehicle specific owners manual and/or the vehicle tags installed by the OEM.

Miles are not added onto the odometer of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator when it's flat towed. The odometer is electronic, not mechanically driven off the transmission or differential so miles will not accumulate when the vehicle isn't running.
In order to safely flat tow your Gladiator, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed height of the base plates has a +/- 3 inch difference... view full answer...
I believe you are referring to the Jeep/Mopar wiring harness that was needed on the Cherokees to prevent steering system issues when flat towing. The great news is that your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk does not need that harness as Jeep was able to solve that issue.
The Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plate # RM-521451-5 that you referenced is the correct fit for your 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk and would be a really great, easy-to-use base plate.

Yes your 2005 Jeep Wrangler does need a supplemental braking system to flat tow in California, and the best option for that is a portable braking system. Not only is it the most economical, but if you wind up changing your towed vehicle at some point, you can still use it. Here is what you need for that system, as well as the rest of the parts to flat tow your 2005 Jeep Wrangler:
- Base Plate Kit: etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98946
- Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar #... view full answer...
Yes! I confirmed with your Honda owner's manual that you can flat-tow your 2-wheel drive 2012 Honda CR-V EX. In order to have a complete setup, you need a base plate, a tow bar, a tow braking system, safety cables, vehicle tow wiring, and fuse bypasses.

- Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494

As long as your vehicle's towing capacity is not exceeded by the toad vehicle you should be fine. I recommend using something like Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount # C19745, which is a coupler style tow bar that connects to a 2" hitch ball.
The arms on # C19745 are adjustable from 26" to 41", and has a capacity of 5,000 pounds.
Additionally, If you need the rest of the components for flat towing, they are a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar wiring, a... view full answer...
According to my research, your best bet would be to use a Tow Dolly like # RM-2050-1, but ONLY if your Vibe is equipped with the U341E automatic transmission, it can be towed if a transmission lube pump is installed. We don't offer the lube pumps, you'd need to locate a part # LP-BK01-019 lube pump kit online.
If you decide to go that route, you'd need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter to successfully... view full answer...
