Recommended Base Plate to Flat Tow a 2023 Ford Bronco w/ a Plastic Bumper

Question:

Can this base plate be used to two my 2023 Bronco with the plastic bumper behind a Thor Axis/Vegas? Seeing that the Thor Axis/Vegas are on E-450 chassis with a low trailer hitch that is about 18inch - 19inch off the ground.

Yes, it can! The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e57FV is exactly what you need to flat tow your 2023 Ford Bronco behind your Thor motorhome.

Here are the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2023 Ford Bronco with a plastic front bumper:

Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e34ZR

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267. This diode kit will splice into your tail light wiring to display the signals from your motorhome through the tail lights of your Bronco. If you have LED's then you'll want to use item # RM38FR instead.

Charge Line Kit - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit item # RM-156-25

Supplemental Braking System - SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System item # SM99251

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.
