Recommended Tow Bar For Towing 2021 Ford F-350 Behind Class A Motorhome
Question:
I want to tow my 2021 F350 Super Duty 4x4 behind my class A motorhome. I have a 20k tow rating on the RV. What tow bar do you recommend? What else do I need?

Expert Reply:
For flat towing your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty 4WD behind your Class A motorhome you'll want to go with the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 if your motorhome has a 2" receiver, or the Apollo # BX7470 if you have a 2-1/2" receiver instead. The Avail tow bar has a 10,000lb rating, and the Apollo has a 15,000lb rating, both of which are more than strong enough to tow your truck even if you have some extra cargo loaded in it.
To round out your flat tow setup you'll still need the following parts:
Base plate kit # RM28FR
Roadmaster to Blue Ox Adapter # RO64FR
Wiring # RM-15267
Braking System # BLU37TR
The last thing you will likely need is a high low adapter, though you'll need to measure for the correct one. I link a help article below that'll walk you through how to do this.
I also highly recommend checking out the recreational towing section of your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure you follow all of the steps needed to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed.
