We have all of the necessary components you will need to flat tow your 2022 Ford Bronco. Since you have the heavy duty bumper we will start with the detachable base plate kit you requested. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM92ZR is custom fit for your Bronco's heavy duty bumper and has a easy to use setup. I have attached a picture below.

I have listed the other components needed to flat tow below along with any installation videos we may have.

Tow Bar - The most popular and compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain item # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect.

Wiring Kit and Safety Chains - RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit with Straight Wiring item # RM-9243-1. The diode kit that comes with this allows you to splice into the taillight wiring so that your RV controls the vehicle taillights and does not require drilling into the taillight housings which would ruin your LED's. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your Bronco and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

Supplemental Braking System - Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251. This system offers automatic, real-time braking in your Bronco. The actuator box installs permanently so that you never have to remove, adjust or reactivate. The system connects to your RV and engages your Bronco's brakes when the RV brake lights illuminate.

If your Motorhome has air brakes you will want the Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System for Motor Homes with Air Brakes item # SM99243.

You'll also want the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit item # RM-751000. This kit will allow you to avoid damage to your Bronco by ensuring that your supplemental braking system is working effectively. This kit activates your RV monitoring system to alert you when the brakes of your towed car are being applied.

High low adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I'll link you to an FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
