Blue Ox Base Kit for Flat Towing 2019 Ford F-150
Question:
I have a 2019 Ford F150 and am looking for a Blue Ox Base Plate. I see two that say that will fit, but one costs more. My truck is not a Raptor. Which one do I need? Thanks!

Both of the Blue Ox base plate kits BX2671 and the # BO74FR are a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ford F-150 and would work well for you. I'd go with the one priced better if I were you.
For a tow bar the Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 is a really easy to and great option that includes safety cables.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
