Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 1419-8

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

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
    • Crossbar not required because these direct-connect base plates are designed for strong, heavy-duty applications
  • Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Notes:

  • Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
  • Fishwires (C58400 - sold separately) are required for complete installation.

Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.


Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with 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.

  • Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Light Kit Recommendations for a 1995 Jeep Cherokee
    We have two base plate kits available for your 1995 Jeep Cherokee. Both base plate kits are only for models that do not have a brushguard. First is the Roadmaster Standard Base Plate Kit, # 1402-1. But if it were my Jeep, I would go with the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1418-1. The XL series brackets attach to the towed vehicle frame and provide attachment points for tow bars. The visible portions of bracket can be removed when not towing. Please note that trimming of spoiler, air...

  • Comparing MX and XL Style Roadmaster Base Plate Kits for 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Since you have the Falcon 2 Towbar, you can safely use the MX base plate kit, part # 1419-8. The MX style base plates take advantage of the strong frames used for trucks and SUVs. Please note, some accessories are not compatible with the MX style plates like the Guardian Rock Shied or Tow Defender. The XL base plates, part # 1419-7, will offer the most compatibility with tow bars and tow bar accessories. We typically recommend that customers use the XL style because it can be used with...

  • What Base Plate Kit Will Fit a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee And RoadMaster Sterling Tow Bar
    As long as your Jeep Grand Cherokee is not equipped with a brush guard, you could use either part # 1419-8, MX style, or 1419-7, XL style. Either one of these base plate kits will fit your 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and your Sterling Tow Bar.

  • Is an Adapter Needed to use Reese Tow Bar with Roadmaster Base Plates
    You will need an adapter to attach your Reese tow bar to the Roadmaster base plates. The adapter is # RM-025. But check the specs on your Reese tow bar because I believe it is the same as # 63180. And if that is the case then it is only rated for 45 miles per hour. I would consider using a different tow bar that is a direct fit to the base plates and does not have a 45 mile per hour speed restriction such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520, or even the Tracker # RM-020.

  • Does The Roadmaster Baseplate # 1425-1 Fit A 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The Roadmaster # 1425-1 unfortunately is not a fit and it would not be recommended to have it welded on. Instead you can use the # 1419-7 if you have the crossbar style adapter for your Falcon 2 or the # 1419-8 if you'd rather use a direct-connect style attachment. If you don't already have your wiring then I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will transfer your motorhome's traffic signals to the tail lights of the Jeep. If you don't...

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The biggest difference between the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1419-5 and the # 1419-8 is the application. The # 1419-5 is designed for the 1999-2000 Jeep Grand Cherokees without a brushguard, whereas the # 1419-8 is designed for the # 1419-8 is designed for the 2001-2003 Jeep Grand Cherokees without a brushguard. Since the vehicles are so similar the base plate kits will appear to be similar, but the mounting holes and dimensions of the base plate kit will be different enough that...
