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
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle

The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style 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 automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Toyota Corolla
    First you need a base plate kit like the Roadmaster XL part # 1165-1 which is a confirmed fit. This will work well with the StowMaster part # RM-501 which is an economic option that still is a great tow bar. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle...

  • What is the Distance Between the Base Plate Brackets on the Roadmaster 1165-1 XL Base Plate Kit
    I went out to the warehouse and measured the distance between the base plate brackets on the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, item # 1165-1. The distance is 28-3/8 inches on center between the mounting holes. I have posted a photo with the measurement I took added to it for you to see.

  • Is Blue Ox Patriot Supplementary Braking System Compatible with 2006 Toyota Corolla
    The Blue Ox Patriot Supplementary Braking System # BLU37TR that you referenced is compatible with your 2006 Toyota Corolla and does not require a brake light relay. I confirmed this with my contact at Blue Ox. However, for your Corolla to be flat-towed safely a transmission lube pump installation is recommended by Remco Towing, a great resource for flat towing guidance. If your Corolla uses a U341 transmission then you'll want lube pump # LP-BK01-019. If it uses a A245E transmission then...

  • Parts to Tow a 2003 Toyota Corolla Behind a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer
    Basically, there are two options you could use. The simplest is using a Tow Dolly like RoadMaster part # RM-2050-1. You would hook it up to the Trailblazer, pull the Corolla front wheels onto the dolly, and strap down the tires. These dollies have brake systems on them to ensure the dolly and vehicle are controlled. A more cost effective method is the use of a Tow Bar, but this method will require more installation work. You would need RoadMaster part # 1165-1. These are the brackets that...

  • Parts Needed to Use a StowMaster Tow Bar to Flat Tow a 2004 Toyota Corolla
    To use your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 (StowMaster 5000) on your 2004 Toyota Corolla, you will need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1165-1.

  • Base Plates, Safety Cables, and Wiring Recommendations to Flat Tow a 2006 Toyota Corolla
    The Base Plates for your 2006 Toyota Corolla, # 1165-1, are XL style base plates which are compatible with the RoadMaster StowMaster series of tow bars. Installation of the base plates may require trimming of the front fascia, grille, air dam, or spoiler on later models, but the tow bar should only make contact with the base plates and not the vehicle. I also recommend safety cables and a light kit as required by law. For safety cables, I recommend the Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables,...
