The direct-connect style baseplate allows you to connect your tow bar directly to the baseplate, eliminating the need for a crossbar. This is our easiest system to connect and disconnect. If you are using a motorhome-mounted tow bar, this is the baseplate you should choose. Fits 2019-2021 Ford Ranger. Fits 4wd models. FX4 okay. Adaptive Cruise Control okay. Trimming of spoiler, air dam, bumper, grill or plastic fascia may be required on some models of this vehicle.
