It's a good idea to check to ensure you get the right fit, and I can confirm for you the correct Blue Ox base plate and Blue Ox tow bar fit for your 2012 Ford F-150. The exact parts you need are going to depend on the model of your F-150 and if you have the EcoBoost engine or not.
- With EcoBoost Engine - FX2, FX4, Lariat, Platinum, XL, XLT: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BO74FR
- Without EcoBoost Engine - Harley-Davidson, STX, XL, XLT: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2606
- With or Without EcoBoost Engine - King Ranch: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2630
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380
The Alpha 2 tow bar is compatible with each of the Blue Ox base plates mentioned, and even comes with safety cables so you don't have to purchase those separately. Along with base plates and a tow bar you'll also need wiring and a supplemental braking system for your F-150.
