Best Tow Bar For Curt Base Plate on 2023 Ford Ranger
Question:
What tow bar is the best to use with the curt base plate on my 2023 Ford Ranger
asked by: Noah
Expert Reply:
By far my favorite tow bar for your 2023 Ford Ranger to use with the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C64ER is the Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4370.
The Ascent has a lot going for it relative to other tow bars, and one thing I like is its weight. It is an aluminum tow bar so it is just 31 lbs and much easier to handle than other bars. Its arms have a max extended length of 53 inches, which is longer than most bars and important because it will allow your Ranger to track behind your motorhome better than bars with shorter arms. The # BX4370 is also rated for 7,500 lbs, well over the weight of your Ranger, and I personally like having that extra peace of mind.
Other things you'll need to dinghy tow your 2023 Ford Ranger are a Wiring Kit # RM-152-1676-7 and Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # DM86VR.
