Yes, the Blue Ox base plates are a fit for the 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor model, same as the non-Tremor model. I'll go ahead and list the correct part number below, as well as the rest of the parts needed to flat tow the '23 Ranger:
- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU77XR
- Tow Bar: etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251
- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit for Demco Supplemental Braking Systems # DM66VR
The Blue Ox base plates are a really nice choice for your Ranger because Blue Ox has a deserved reputation for the quality of their base plates, and they give your truck a nice, clean look when you aren't towing it due to their removable arms.
The SD tow bar is compatible with these base plates, but more than that is simple to use with its trigger releases, has an adjustable head so you don't need a high-low adapter like with most tow bars, and comes with safety cables so you don't have to make an added purchase.
I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your Ranger's electrical system safe, the charge line kit will keep your battery charged as it is being towed, and the Brake-Lite Relay is needed to prevent your Ranger's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from your motorhome. 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.
