This setup keeps your front end looking clean when you’re not towing. The hidden bracket design leaves only the square drawbars visible—and those arms pull out quickly with two hitch pins. Once removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and stay tucked within the grille, protected from scrapes and dings.
The computer-cut, all-steel construction gives this base plate kit exceptional strength for long-term towing. A durable black powder coat finish protects it from corrosion and road wear, so it stays solid and good-looking even after thousands of miles.
No welding is required here. The kit bolts directly to the frame using the included mounting hardware, making it straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. Clear instructions make alignment easier and help you get it done right the first time.
If you already have a Roadmaster tow bar setup, this kit integrates right in. It’s compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars when used with the quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00, sold separately), so you can keep your existing gear and build out the rest of your flat towing system confidently.

Ratings & Reviews
The Base plate kit is well made and came with all the necessary hardware.Installation is relatively straight forward. I did have to enlarge two of the holes that didn't quite line up. But overall I'd recommend it.
Bolted right up. Installation should be done with bumper on, as you can't fit the ends through the louvers without some convincing. Works great so far. Was able to use a Stowmaster 5000 with it.
Installation was a bit trying. Ended up looking very clean and almost invisible.
Using the tow bar worked super easy and our motorhome hardly noticed the Mini Cooper back there.
Came quickly and is very high quality. Great directions/video from road master makes the installation step by step easy to follow.
Skill level is probably at the intermediate level depending on experience.
The #118-3 is a perfect fit on my 1995 Geo Tracker. When you pull off the removable arms you would never know they are there. The Quality is very good easy to put on all you have to do is drill 4 holes the tube on the base plate fits into the tube on the frame of the tracker and with the 2 bolts it is a solid fit. I was worried about the plate nut getting it inside of the frame but it went in easy when you put it over the frame tube and use a thin piece of metal to slide it in place. I’m very happy with it. I probably could of got it on without taking my bumper off but with only 4 bolts holding my bumper on it made it easier
thank you for the fast delivery
Very helpful in helping my select the correct parts I needed. Every thing arrived as expected and fit perfectly.
Gwen was extremely helpful and pleasant and I am sure I'll be back next time I need something for the RV.
Good fit. Easy install. Works.
These were a great fit and worked perfe ct.
Helpful chat assist and quick shipping.
All the parts I ordered fit perfectly with no modifications to my 2020 Toyota 4Runner. The info Etrailer has with the part description, Q+A and pictures was very helpful to help me make the best decision on my purchase.
Needed these for my 4Runner. Had to do a bit of grinding on the frame rails to get em to fit. I suspect just different year manufacturing tolerances. All in all, pretty easy to install if you are even semi mechanically inclined. Havent towed it yet but got all the bits and pieces and to fit together just like it should. Easy to remove and good clearance underneath
This base plate kit fit out 2007 4Runner perfectly. Wasn’t difficult to install myself in only a couple hours. Very happy with the product.
very well built. great shipping time. small problem with fitment. nice kit overall.
Installed onto 2017 Toyota 4-runner. Fit perfectly. Was hard getting the one bolt hole drilled through the truck frame, but that is a tool issue, not anything negative about the product. I would recommend this Plate Kit to anyone wanting to flat tow a Gen 5 4-runner.
