Autowlok

The Autowlok system features stainless steel, telescopic tow arms that adjust independently for easy connection. When the towing vehicle pulls on the arms, they automatically center and lock in place. The arms also act as shock absorbers, reducing wear and tear on your tow bar.

Quick Disconnects

Standard on most RoadMaster models, quick disconnects make it a snap to attach your tow bar. Their unique design lets you connect the tow bar to the bracket quickly and easily all by yourself and disconnect it the same way. These convenient brackets also make it simple to mount any number of RoadMaster accessories, from basic safety cables to the Guardian rock shield.
