Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 1188-1

  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Roadmaster
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. 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
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster tow bars with use of quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 - sold separately)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


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.

  • How Hard is it to Install Base Plates to Flat Tow a 2012 Toyota Corolla Behind an RV
    Base plate installation on any vehicle, including # 1188-1 for your 2012 Toyota Corolla, is a fairly involved process. You will have to take the front clip off to install the base plates. Regarding the difficulty Roadmaster has a standard statement in all base plate instructions stating: "Installation of most mounting brackets requires moderate mechanical aptitude and skills. We strongly recommend professional installation by an experienced installer." I have included a link to the installation...

  • Folding Tow Bar That Stores on Front of 2009 Toyota Corolla
    We have a few different tow bars that fold up and store on the front of the vehicle. I'm assuming you want to attach this to a hitch ball and don't plan to use a lunette ring. Since the Blue Ox needs greater spacing than the base plates that fit your Corolla the only option is the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501.

  • Are Blue Ox Base Plates Available For the 2012 Toyota Corolla XRS
    I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and they have not tested the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX3781, on any 2012 Toyota Corollas and cannot give a clear answer whether it will fit or not. I would recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 1188-1. Roadmaster has verified that these base plates will fit all models of the 2012 Toyota Corollas including your 2012 Toyota Corolla XRS. These base plates will work with all Roadmaster tow bars and they will work with Blue Ox and Demco tow bars with...
