Expert Reply:
For a complete flat towing setup on a 2018 Ford F-150, you will need a number of components, including base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring for indicator lights, and a supplemental braking system. While we carry the Blue Ox brand for many vehicles, there is not an available option for the 2018 Ford F-150.
- Base Plate, etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit, # e86YR.
- Tow Bar, etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar - 10,500 lbs., # e94ZR (comes with needed safety cables).
- Tow Bar Wiring, Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles, # HM56009.
- Supplemental Braking System, Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System, # SM99243.
The Air Force One works with air brakes. This is a truly proportional braking system with a low-profile design. It comes with an LED notification system for your coach that lets you know when the brakes are being applied. It features a one-time setup, so you won't need to fuss with it after your first installation. Just plug it back in when you're ready to tow again. I've linked to some videos below for you to look at.
