Expert Reply:
Yes, your 2022 Ford F-150 hybrid with 4-wheel drive can indeed be flat towed, and in order to do so you'll need a number of parts, which I'll go ahead and list for you.
- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM38VR
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-676
- Wiring Kit - Incandescent Tail Lights: Roadmaster Universal Wiring Kit with Smart Diodes # RO94FR

- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR
- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates are great because they have removable tabs which means your F-150 is going to maintain a clean aesthetic when you aren't flat towing. The Nighthawk tow bar is easily the best tow bar, with an aluminum body which makes it lighter and easier to handle than other tow bars, a long 52" reach which allows your tow vehicle to track behind your motorhome better than bars with shorter arms, and it even includes both safety cables and an electrical cord so you don't have to buy those separately.
The wiring kit is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback to keep your F-150's electrical system safe, and includes smart diodes which ensures the proper voltage always makes it to your tail lights. The charge wire kit is needed to keep your battery charged as you tow, and as for the braking system, the Stay-IN-Play DUO is easily the best because it gives you braking proportional to that of your motorhome. So when you hit the brakes on your motorhome, your truck is going to get the same amount of braking power, resulting in much smoother braking than other systems.
Finally, to keep your F-150 safe from debris like flying rocks while it is being towed, I highly recommend considering a rock guard, the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750.
