We can get you set up with everything you need to flat tow your 2018 Ford F-350, and these are the parts I recommend for you:
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524452-5
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422
- Safety Chains: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
The Roadmaster Base Plates give your car a clean look, as you can see in the accompanying photo of these base plates installed, which is from the linked manual. The Blackhawk 2 tow bar is a great option because it has long arms which make it easier to maneuver when towing, and its 10,000 lb capacity makes it one of the few tow bars that has the capacity for your heavy truck.
The Flexo-Coil wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your F-350's electrical system safe, and the InvisiBrake supplemental braking system not only gives you effective braking, but is a one-time install which will never require any type of removal or reactivation.
You may also need a high-low adapter in order to keep your truck level, and I've added a link to a help article which shows you how to determine if you need an adapter as well as a link to our selection of adapters. Additionally, I have added links to instruction manuals, video reviews and installations for you to take a look at.
