Roadmaster Tow Bars - 278-1

The XL series hidden brackets attach to the towed vehicle's frame and provide attachment points for tow bars. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.

Features:

• Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
• Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
• Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
• Simple installation - no welding required
  • Vehicle-specific base plates ensure a perfect fit for your car, truck or SUV
• Compatible with Quick Disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars
• Instructions and mounting hardware included

The square drawbars, or front arms, on the XL series base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most vehicles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.
