Complete Flat Towing Setup For A 1997 Ford F-150 4X4
Question:
Do you have a Blue Ox baseplate for a 1997 Ford F-150 4X4 with tow hooks in front.
asked by: Jack M
Expert Reply:
For your 1997 Ford F-150 4x4, you can use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2146. This base plate kit will only work if you have tow hooks in the front for the bracket.
If you're interested in a complete flat towing setup, you're also going to need:
-A tow bar # BX4370.
-Tow bar wiring # RM-15267.
-A braking system # HM39524.
&
A high low adapter like # BX88130, however you'll need to measure for the rise and drop you need for your vehicle to be certain. I have included an FAQ on how you can do this.
