Question:
Can you put a package together for a 2022 Subaru WRX or 2009 Tacoma 4x4 to get safely towed on all four without damage?

Expert Reply:
I would be happy to put together a flat towing set up for a 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4WD. I can't do one for the 2022 WRX because it needs to be trailered.
To flat tow your 2009 Toyota Tacoma you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643
Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms item # 1175-3
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item # HM39524
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
