Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2021 Ford F-150 LTX
Question:
I have a Bx7445 Aventa LX Tow bar on my recently purchased Motorhome that I would like to use with my 2021 Ford F50 LTX 4x4. Will that work and what additional parts do I need for flat towing?

Expert Reply:
Dave, to use your Blue Ox Aventa LX tow bar with your 2021 Ford F-150 you can use the Roadmaster Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit # RM58VR with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Adapter for Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars # RM-033.
If you're looking to complete your flat towing setup you're going to need:
- A braking system, like the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System # BLU37TR with the Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400,
&
- A wiring harness, like the Curt Universal Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # C63CR with the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25.

Thx Bryce. I don't think I like the cross bar option, just more parts to hook up and looks more complicated to install (remove grille). I assume my only other option then is to go with the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar and corresponding base plates?
