What Blue Ox parts can I use to tow my 2023 Ford Ranger behind my motorhome. The motorhome has air brakes if that matters.

Expert Reply:
Blue Ox has a handful of parts that fit your 2023 Ford Ranger for flat towing, but they don't have a complete set. Below is a list of the parts from Blue Ox you can use as well as additional parts you need to get your Ranger flat-tow-ready:
- Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU77XR
- Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7380
- Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
- Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR
- 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332
- Brake-Lite Relay Kit # RM-88400
- High-Low Adapter (see attached article - bracket height is 17")
The additional parts just have to do with the wiring to make sure your Ranger tail lights work properly during flat towing.
