Blue Ox Base Plate and Braking Kit for 2008 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 Flat Towed
Question:
Team, I have read through several of the previous questions and I am not sure they fit me. I have a 40PBQ Holiday Rambler Imperial with air brakes on a Road master frame. I have a Blue OX tow Bar and magnetic lights. What Else do I need? i.e. Brake control, connection points, base plate etc. Thank you in advance for your help.

Expert Reply:
Since you have a Blue Ox tow bar you'd want a Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2008 Ford Ranger like with the # BX2195 which is a confirmed fit. Since you have the lighting covered already the last thing you'd need is a braking solution and for that I would recommend the SBS Air Force One part # SM99243 which uses the air brake setup of your motorhome to provide a proportional amount of braking pressure on your towed vehicle.
