Blue Ox currently only has a Bulb & Socket Kit # BX8869 that's compatible with a 2008 Ford F-250 and no plug-in style kits. The best option we currently offer is the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267, which is a splice in kit.

if you haven't already picked out the rest of your components then I have the following recommendations:

Tow Bar: etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e84ZR. This tow bar has safety cables bracketed to the arms so you won't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. The head and shank offer a bit of adjustability to help keep it level between the motorhome and F-250.

Baseplate: Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 4412-3. Since this baseplate doesn't come with pins you'll also need part # RM-910029 to connect to the tow bar.

Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700. This system permanently installs in the cab of your truck so that there's no setup required when you're ready to flat tow. The actuator box can be installed under the driver's or rear passenger seat to easily hide it.

Since your brake signal will override your turn signal you'll also want to pick up the Roadmaster Brake Light Relay # RM-88400 to prevent this. Your F-250's brake light switch wire that you'll need to tap into is colored purple/white.
