Omni flat towing

I have an Omni xg32. I am considering flat towing. My easiest vehicle is a 22 f150. Looking to see if anyone is towing a similar vehicle and how the Omni handles it. Also recommendations on hardware including braking

You have the shortest and lightest of the Omni / Magnitudes so you should not have any issues towing an F150.

I tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Sahara Unlimited 4-Door that weighs about 4500 dry and we load it down pretty good when traveling. I have a '20 SV34 and I can hardly feel it back there.

An F150 is probably 500lbs more.... I don't think you would have any issue.

I towed a Cadillac XT5 with a tandem axle aluminum trailer and had to keep looking back to make sure I didn't lose it. Total weight was around 7K...never felt it struggle. Isn't your tow capacity 10K?

I have an XG32 Magnitude and tow a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. The RV tows with ease. I installed the Demco Stay and Play Duo braking system for the toad and am very pleased with the setup.

We flat tow a Silverado crew cab 4 X 4 lifted with no problems.
Tow bar level will be your biggest issue.
Use the proper tow bar with higher limits and make sure the drop hitch system weight is on the high side.
Ours is all rated for 10,000lbs.

When I had the omni XG32 I towed a Ram 1500 that weighed 5700#. No issues other than needing a high/low hitch adaptor to compensate for the height differences between the omni hitch and tow bar connections. 4" adaptor.

EDIT 6" not 4
