Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX2166, is the only Blue Ox base plate kit that is available for your 2004 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, but it does not have removable tabs.
You may be interested in the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 474-1. This base plate kit includes removable draw bars and is compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. You could also get the Roadmaster to Blue Ox Adapter, # RM-033, to use the Roadmaster base plate kit with Blue Ox tow bars.
If you were looking for any other items to complete your towing set up, then we carry everything you will need to flat tow your vehicle. Below I have listed the rest of the items that you will need:
Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit # RM-155
Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
Roadmaster Tow Bar # RM-520 or Blue Ox Tow Bar # BX7380
Safety Cables # RM-643 (Safety cables are included with the Blue Ox tow bar I recommended)
I have attached an article on flat towing a vehicle for you to check out.
