Yes, a 4-wheel drive 2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty can be flat towed (please refer to your owner's manual for the procedure), and there are a number of parts you'll need to do so, which I'll list for you.

- Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM28FR
- Tow Bar: Roadmaster Sterling All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576
- Safety Cables # RM-645
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking System: Demco SBS Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR
- Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR

The Roadmaster base plates are great because Roadmaster has a deserved reputation for quality, and they give your truck a nice, clean look when you aren't towing it due to their removable arms. For the tow bar, the Sterling is super easy to use, connecting with arms that self-align; you just connect the tabs and drive your motorhome forward. The tow bar also has a robust 8,000 lb capacity to handle the weight of your F-250.

I really like the Flexo-Coil wiring kit because it is designed to prevent any type of electrical feedback, keeping your electrical system safe, and the charge line kit will keep your F-250's battery charged as it is being towed. 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.

From previous customers with the Grand Design Solitude S Class ST2930RL we know that know that it has the Lippert 1621 pin box model and since we know the GVWR of the RV is 15k so for a MORryde you'd want the part #MR84VR.

It sounds like the purpose of getting the air helper spring would be to counteract the 1 inch compression you're getting in your rear suspension caused by the pin weight of your 5th wheel. If that's the case, I believe that the AirLift 5000…
