• Recommendation for Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox
  The Roadmaster # RM-523160-5 Base Plate Kit you looked at would be a good choice. The kit uses removable drawbars that re easily removed when you're not flat towing the vehicle. The Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, part # 3160-3B, are designed for SUVs that have a heavy duty frame, like your 2011 Chevrolet Equinox, so the tow bar you use does not need a crossbar.

• Can I Flat Tow My 2003 Ford Ranger and 2004 Ford Taurus
  From the information I found, the 2003 Ford Ranger 4x4 model that is equipped with the manual transmission is able to be flat towed, but you would need to place the transfer case in two-wheel drive high and have the transmission in neutral. If your 2003 Ranger 4x4 has an automatic transmission it will not be able to be flat towed and would need to be on a trailer. For the 2004 Ford Taurus, it is not able to be flat towed. To tow this vehicle, you would need to use a tow dolly like the...

• How to Tow a 2000 Chevy S10 Behind a Motor Home as Inexpensively as Possible
  There is certain equipment required by law to flat tow a vehicle. That equipment includes base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. If you just need to tow the 2000 Chevy S10 once or twice, the expense is likely not worth it. But if you flat tow the truck often behind a motor home then you are going to need these items. Check the S10 owners manual to see if it can be dolly towed (with the front wheels up on a dolly). If so you could rent or otherwise obtain...

• Recommendation For Wiring Kit When Flat Towing a 2003 Honda Element
  For a light wiring kit when flat towing your 2003 Honda Element, I would recommend two different choices.

• Are There Custom Fit, Plug-In Tail Light Isolating Diode Systems?
  Flat towing a vehicle is not something that as may people do as say using that same vehicle for towing a small utility trailer. None of the towing parts manufacturers, at least to my knowledge, have started building custom fit diode kits because the demand would not be there to offset the design and engineering costs. The T-One harness you installed, cannot be used in reverse. Trying to send power the other way at best would simply not work, at worst it could cause damage. There is a...

  A plug in tow bar lighting system is not available for your 2015 Ford Fiesta but there are other options that will work.
