The Blue Ox base plates # BX2630 are listed as a fit for the 2014 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. In addition to the base plates you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking.
For a compatible tow bar one of the most popular options is the Avail, # BX7420. This tow bar has a 10,000 pound capacity and comes with safety cables so you will not need to purchase any additional safety cables.
For lighting if you will not be towing the truck very often I recommend a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. For a more permanent solution you can use diode kit # RM-154.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the easiest systems to set up and use is the Even Brake proportional system # RM-9400. It will apply the truck brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the easiest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Be sure to consult your F-150 owners manual for specific information on flat towing the vehicle. I have also included some helpful links to our series of help articles on flat towing for you.
