Complete Flat Towing Setup For a 2019 Ford Ranger
Question:
Will this work to tow a 2019 Ford ranger?
asked by: Donald H
Expert Reply:
No, the Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19745 does not have the weight capacity to be able to tow your 2019 Ford Ranger. Instead, you'd need to use a tow bar that has the weight capacity to handle your Ranger, like the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380.
This tow bar has plenty of capacity to be able to handle your Ford Ranger, however with this being a Blue Ox tow bar you'd need to use Blue Ox base plates or get the correct adapter for your base plates.
If you don't have anything, you're going to also need:
-A base plate kit like the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU77XR,
-A braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR,
-A set of tow bar wiring like the Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7,
-A 12 Volt outlet kit like the 12 Volt Outlet Kit, 20 amps # RM-9332,
&
-A brake light relay kit like the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400.
