Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands
Question:
We are looking at flat towing our 2022 Ford Bronco Big Bend. It has the factory Ford bumper. Im leaning towards the Blue Ox equipment, but what all do I need for the flat tow setup as well as actuating the brake/turn signals on the Bronco?

The Blue Ox flat towing components are what I would go with if I were you as they are the easiest to use and are very well made. If you have the D-rings on the factory bumper of your 2022 Ford Bronco the correct base plate kit is the part # BLU23XR and if you do not have them you'd want the part # BLU97XR.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
