Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2020 Ford F-150
Question:
Can i use a portable brake system on my 2020 f150
asked by: Ricky
Expert Reply:
Yes, you can absolutely use a portable braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR. You'll just need to make sure you're also using the 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 as well as the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400 to prevent the towed vehicle's brake signal from overriding the turn signal from the RV when applying the brakes during a turn.
For a complete flat towing setup you're also going to need:
-A wiring kit # RM-154,
-A tow bar # RM-676,
&
-A base plate # RM-524431-5.
