• Using EZ Mount Tow Light Kit on 2005 Scion xB When Bike Rack Blocks Tail Lights
  If the bike completely obscures one of the tail lights so that it is not visible at all through the bike, then using the Roadmaster # RM-2120 would be a great solution. As you said, you would also need the Curt Harness, # C56030 to provide a connection for the EZ mount lights to plug into. Installing the harness is a straightforward procedure, as you can see by looking over the installation instructions that I have linked to.

• Is Brake Light Relay Needed to Flat Tow 2015 Jeep Cherokee with Push-Button Start
  A brake light relay, # RM-88400, will be required if your 2015 Jeep Cherokee is wired with a 4-diode light kit, # RM-154. Or you could go with a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120 instead. For a braking system that comes with the brake light relay use the Even Brake # RM-9400. If the push-button start feature does not start the engine when the brake fuse is removed, then you need to perform a normally closed installation. Consult the vehicle owners manual for the fuse locations. The brake...

• Base Plates, Tow Bar and Flat Towing Equipment for 2015 Chevy Captiva Sport
  According to Blue Ox, the # BX3332 is a fit up to the 2014 Captiva Sport. They haven't yet had the opportunity to do a test fit. However, Roadmaster states that the 2012-2015 Captiva uses the same # 3151-1A Base Plate. I'd recommend going with the Roadmaster Base Plate because it has been confirmed as a fit. If you went with the Blue Ox, and there was a problem, you might not have warranty coverage because the fit hasn't been tested yet. You'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring...

• All Parts Needed for Flat Towing 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind an RV
  From the research I did it looks like if your 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee is 4 wheel drive you are good to go for flat towing. If it's 2 wheel drive you will need a lube pump kit to allow your vehicle to be flat towed. We do not carry lube pumps at this time but they are available elsewhere. You will want to consult the owners manual of your vehicle before you flat tow your vehicle to confirm that there aren't any restrictions. There are 5 main components needed to flat tow a vehicle: Base...

• Fla Towing 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT Behind a Motorhome
  Your ability to successfully flat tow the vehicle will depend on which transmission it's equipped with. According to my research, the 2014 Elantra GT can be flat towed with all four wheels down only if it's a manual transmission model. Hyundai has a very specific procedure that needs to be followed, so be sure to consult the recreational towing section of your owner's manual. Automatic transmission equipped models must be towed on a tow dolly like part # RM-2050-1. For the manual transmission...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 and 2009 2-Wheel Drive Ford Ranger Behind a Motor Home
  Installation of Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31063 will actually require some trimming of front fascia on a 2011 and 2009 Ford Ranger. I have linked the instructions for you that show where the trimming takes place. This means it will likely be up higher than you think. The tow bar that you have is the same as # 63180. This tow bar is rated for a maximum of 45 miles an hour. Also, to flat tow a vehicle behind another vehicle you will need to have base plates for each vehicle, a compatible...

• Flat-Towing 1979 Jeep Wrangler CJ-5
  In order to be able to tow your 1979 Jeep CJ-5, you will need to install base plates which the tow bar will attach to. We do not carry any specific base plates for your Jeep but we may have an option. I recommend the Blue Ox Universal base plates, part # BX88230. These do not attach to the Jeep frame. They actually attach to the Jeep bumper. They are designed to be bolted to a flat surface on the bumper, so the bumper may need to be modified and reinforced to be able to handle towing....

• Wiring Magnetic Tow Lights to a 6-way Round Connector on a RV
  It sounds to me like your 6-Way connector has been wired for some alternate wiring situation, and that is most likely why the adapter does not work properly with the Magnetic lights. I would use a circuit tester, item # PTW2993 if you need one, and check all of the functions in the 6-Way connector on the RV. Draw a diagram and label each circuit. You will need the stop, turn/brake, tail and ground functions out of the 6-way connector to operate the functions on the 4-way connection of the...

• What Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 2005 Saturn Ion
  The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520, and Roadmaster MX Base Plate kit, part # 3136-3 will work just fine with your 2005 Saturn Ion. If you will be towing your Saturn behind an RV or Motorhome, you may not need to have a brake system for the Ion. The Ion is small enough and light enough that an RV or Motorhome has sufficient stopping power for itself and the Ion, however, brakes are a good idea and are required by some state law and by some RV Manufacturer warranties. I will link...

• Recommended Tow Bar Wiring For 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  I recommend talking with your dealership about the warranty on your Grand Cherokee if you install a diode lighting kit like part # RM-154. Per Roadmaster the # RM-155 will not fit the 2014 Grand Cherokee. Another option, for complete ease and convenience, is to use magnetic lights like the Magnetic Tow Lights # RM-2120.

• What Tow Bar Can I use for a 1994 Geo Prizm with Standard Base Plates
  You can use the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar, part # RM-020,if you are only towing the vehicle seldom or one time. If you are towing more often then I would recommend a tow bar that is easier to use such as the Roadmaster Falcon-2, part # RM-520. If you are really getting into RV camping then the non binding tow bars are very easy to use. If you are setting up to tow your vehicle for the first time then you will need a wiring kit and safety cables to go with the tow bar you select. For...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder Behind and RV
  I double-checked with Roadmaster and base plates # 1169-1 are indeed the correct base plates for your 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder. They are actually listed for 2000 to 2003 models. On the 2000 to 2002 models you will need to remove the grill for installation. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520. It is rated for 6,000 pounds so it can handle the MR2 with ease. You will also need safety cables # RM-643. For lighting I recommend a simple magnetic kit # RM-2120 because...

• Base Plates that Allow Tracker Tow Bar to Store Vertically on a 1992 Jeep Cherokee
  If your 1992 Jeep Cherokee has standard mounting brackets (fixed/non-removable) the Tracker, # RM-020, can be stored on the vehicle in a vertical position by inserting a bolt or pin (not supplied) through the tow bar and the rear holes on the crossbar tabs. The fixed base plates for your Cherokee are # 1402-1. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Nissan Versa Note Behind an RV
  When on a tow dolly the vehicle steering wheel should be locked so its wheels cannot turn. The dolly likely has a steering lock out or pin on it that you would have to remove or disengage so that the dolly can pivot while the vehicle is on it. That is probably why you had problems using the tow dolly. When flat towing the steering wheel has to be unlocked because that allows the tires to turn when the RV turns. The base plates and tow bar can more than handle the forces that allow this...

• Towing a non-SS 2010 Chevy HHR Behind a Motor Home
  No, the Chevy HHR and HHR SS are fundamentally different were the base plates install so you would not be able to use the SS base plates, # 523159-1, on a non-SS model. I have verified this with my contact at Roadmaster. For a non-SS model you would use base plates # 3141-1. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2, # RM-520, and safety cables # RM-643. For lighting you can use a magnetic lighting kit # RM-2120. Or for a more permanent solution you can use diode kit # RM-154....

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge with Manual Transmission and Blue Ox Tow Bar
  According to Blue Ox, you can use base plates on the 2004 Ford Ranger Edge without tow hooks on the vehicle. When I did some research on flat towing the 2004 Ford Ranger Edge, I could only find information on models with an automatic transmission. If you have transmission M5OD-R-1HD then the Ranger is towable. If you have a 4 wheel drive, the transfer case will need to be placed in 2 wheel drive high and the manual transmission in neutral. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual...
