Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 131-17

  • 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.



Frame Variance Measurement Diagram

Measurement must be taken from the centerpoint of the lower-most threaded hole, on the side of frame, to a center-line dissecting the rear-most elongated hole on the bottom of the frame.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4 behind an RV
    To flat tow your 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4 you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. Starting with the base plates I recommend using Roadmaster base plates. There are a few different ones depending on the specifics of your truck: If you have a 2500 HD with tow hooks bolted externally to the bottom of the frame AND a 3" measurement when taken from the centerpoint of the lower-most threaded hole, on the frame side, to a center-line dissecting...

  • 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4x4 Base Plate Recommendation and Other Flat Towing Parts
    We do have a base plate fit for your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 4x4 but the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit part # 3101-1 is not a fit. In order to get the correct fit the 2001 GMC Sierra you have to measure from the lower-most threaded hole on the side of the frame to the center of the elongated hole on the bottom of the frame. I have attached a diagram for your reference. If that measurement is 1-1/4 inches then you need Roadmaster Base Plate part # 131-17. If the measurement is 3 inches then...

  • How To Determine The Correct Tow Bar Base Plates To Tow A 1998 GMC Suburban 1500 4X4
    When flat towing a vehicle you will want to check your owners manual or with the manufacturer for instructions on the proper procedure for towing your 1998 GMC Suburban, because some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed. The tow bar base plate listing for the 1998 Chevy Suburban will work for your 1998 GMC Suburban. The same basic frame was used on the Chevy and GMC trucks but...

  • What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Chevy Suburban with a Reese Tow Bar
    There are several components you will need to flat tow your 2000 Chevy Suburban. But before we get into that you should check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any restrictions on your vehicle being flat-towed. If you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle you would be good to go, if you have a 2 wheel drive vehicle you would need to install a lube pump from my research. If your vehicle is all wheel drive then you would need to borrow or rent a trailer as there is no option...

  • How to Determine Correct Roadmaster Base Plates For 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 4WD w/ Sterling Tow Bar
    Since you have the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain # RM-576 tow bar, you'll need the crossbar-style base plate kit for your 2001 GMC Sierra 2500 4x4. Since that generation Sierra had slight variances in the frame, you will need to take a measurement, and this assumes your tow hooks are bolted externally to the bottom of the frame That measurement will be from the center of the lower-most threaded hole on the side of frame, to the center of the slotted hole on the bottom of the frame.
