Expert Reply:
To flat tow your 2023 Ford F-250 you will need the following parts:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar item # DM9511013
Base Plate Kit - Demco Classic Base Plate Kit item # DM68FR
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System item # BLU37TR
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.
