Search out the threads here about "Raptor fires" whiles flat towing. I'm sure that you will be fine but just be aware.
Also - make sure that you have a charge line so that the trucks battery doesn't go dead as that may be where the problem lies.
I flat tow a 2018 F-150 Lariat... safe travels.

If anyone decides to do a blue ox baseplate install on their gen3 raptor, you can install the baseplates WITHOUT removing the bumper. You just need a right angle drill. Very easy to install and setup. Lights were simple too.

I installed Roadmaster base plates and used a right-angle drill on my 2019 Raptor. Removing the bumper meant screwing with the ACC. I called Roadmaster and told them the bumper didn't need to be removed. Their answer, not everyone has a right-angle drill. My answer.....Harbor Freight right angle adapter.
