Flat towing

[Tahoeinvestments@outlook.]

Blue ox says I have to use a baseplate to attach the tow bar. Why can’t I use this adapter and attach to modular bumper?

Someone needs to try it and report back. Go for it.

The loops on the Ford modular bumper are designed for flat towing. Those are exactly what I would use. Soounds like you need to talk to somebody else there

Because Blue Ox wants to sell you $300 fittings and a base plate. The Mod bumper will be more than capable for flat towing. We need someone to come up with a diode kit for a simple taillight solution and answers on braking kits.

Will pickup our OBX with the Modular bumper from the paint shop today and should have pictures of my Blue OX setup in few days.

I have set up my 2023 Badlands 2dr V6 Sasquatch as a TOAD using the Curt Rambler tow bar https://amzn.to/48dSqbf, Curt C59JR Bronco adapter https://www.etrailer.com/Base-Plates/CURT/C59JR.html, Latch.It 7 to 6 Trailer Wire Kit https://amzn.to/49vguar and the Demco Stay-In-Play Duo Brake system with Wireless Coachlink https://amzn.to/3SVty2v.

Here's my YouTube Video on the Installation if you're considering a self install.


Here's the sequel for how to flat tow once all the hardware is in place.


I'm also posting a Bronco Flat Tow Checklist and hope not to see any more posts of blown up Bronco transmissions.

I have not seen a speed or distance limit in the Ford Owners Manual.
