Yes, your 2022 Ford F-250 can be flat towed as long as you have the four wheel drive model. To do so safely, you will need a base plate, tow bar wiring, a tow bar, a braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter.

-Beginning with the base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM28FR. These are great because unlike traditional base plates, these are virtually invisible when installed, and feature an easy to use draw bars that have a built in pull ring so you can attach and detach quickly.

-Next, you're going to need a tow bar. For your 2022 Ford F-250, I recommend going with the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676. This tow bar is compatible with the base plate mentioned above, and will do a great job handling the heavier weight of your truck. This tow bar also has built-in LEDs so you can attach and detach your tow bar in low light conditions, if need be.

-Continuing, we will move on to tow bar wiring # RM-152. This will provide your toad with taillights, brake lights, and turn signal lights.

-Finally, you're going to need a braking system. The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700 is a great option. This braking system is a one time install, and will permanently install into your truck so you do not have to set it up each time.

If your truck is not within the "safe zone" of 3" above or below your tow bars so that you're level, then you'll need a high-low adapter. I have attached a FAQ that will detail how you can determine which high-low adapter you'll need.
