• Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2013 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4
  
• You would want the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 4427-1A that you referenced as a base plate kit for your 2013 Ford Explorer Limited. I checked with Roadmaster and it is confirmed to fit your vehicle.

• Will Base Plates for a 1992 Ford Explorer also Fit the Sport Model Explorer
  
• There is no difference in the front end frame and bumper structure between a 1992 Sport and Full-Size Explorer. The Sport has a shorter frame and less doors, but that does not make a difference up front. The Eddie Bauer, XLT and Limited editions have different bumpers that will not allow the use of a base plate kit. The base plates bolt to the front of the frame using three bolts on each side. The mounting points for the tow bar stick out by the bumper so the tow bar can be attached.

• Base Plates and Tow Bar for 1998 Ford Explorer Sport 2-Door
  
• The custom-fit base plates for your Explorer is part # 450-4. Your vehicle weighs right at 5,000 lbs, and if you are loading your vehicle, I would choose a tow bar that goes up to 6,000 lbs like the Roadmaster Stowmaster, just to be on the safe side. You will also need a tail light isolating diode system to operate the tail lights on your vehicle while towing. I have included links to all three of these products below.
