• Confirming Flat Tow Components for 2019 Ford F-150 4x4
  You have done your homework for your 2019 Ford F-150 4x4. You can use either the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-524431-5 base plates or the EZ4 # RM-524431-4. The difference is the EZ5 directly connect to the tow bar and the EZ4 will use a crossbar for connection. So specifically with the Nighthawk tow bar # RM-676, I recommend the EZ5 # RM-524431-5 because the crossbar doesn't come with that tow bar. This tow bar also comes with the umbilical cord and safety cables, so you won't need to get those...

• Tow Bar and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Ford F-150 Lariat Behind an RV
  The Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 has a maximum weight capacity of 6,000 pounds. From my research the 2016 Ford F-150 does not exceed that amount so the tow bar will be just fine with the F-150. To flat tow the F-150 you'll also need base plates, wiring, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. To connect to the Falcon 2 you'll be best off with a Roadmaster base plate kit. The EZ4 # RM-524431-4 is confirmed to fit your truck and the tow bar. To power the truck's...

  You would not be able to swap the arms from the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524431-5 with your Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524431-4 as the arms for these base plates are made specifically for those base plates.

  The Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520 would be a great tow bar for flat towing your 2016 Ford F-150 as it weighs less than the capacity of the tow bar and because this is one of the nicest tow bars around. You are also correct that the part # RM-524431-4 does not require the use of a crossbar.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Ford F-150 Behind an RV
  You can use your Even Brake # RM-9400 with your 2017 Ford F-150. The brake light relay # RM-88400 will be needed if you are using anything other than magnetic tow lights such as # RM-2120. For base plates for the F-150 you can use # RM-524431-4. I do not know if you already have a tow bar but if not I recommend a non-binding tow bar such as the Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 rated for 6,000 pounds or the BlackHawk # RM-422 rated for 10,000 pounds.

  The first thing you'd need is a base plate kit like the Roadmaster part # RM-521453-4 for the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and then for the 2019 Ford F-150 you'd want the # RM-524431-4.

• Is There an Installation Video Available for Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524431-4
  You do not have to bolt and unbolt the drawbar every time. The tow bar disconnects from your truck but you can leave it installed on your motorhome when you are not towing your 2017 Ford F-150. You may want to consider a locking hitch pin to deter theft of your tow bar. I recommend the etrailer Hitch Receiver Lock for 2" and 2-1/2" Hitches - Flush - 3-5/8" Span - Chrome # e98881. We do need to verify your F-150 can be flat-towed, if it is a 4-wheel drive it can be flat-towed. If it is...
