Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 162-2

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • 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


Note: Fishwires (C58400 - sold separately) are required for complete installation.

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.

  • Will The Roadmaster bracket kit 523114-1 Fit My 2000 Saturn SL
    You have three base plate kit options for your 2000 Saturn SL. The Roadmaster EZ Twistlock Brackets, part number 52181-1, is a very good kit and makes installation and removal easy. Minor trimming of the spoiler, air dam or plastic fascia may be required on some models of this vehicle. The other options are the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit 162-2 and the Roadmaster Standard Base Plate Kit 154-2. These base plate kits are also good options for your vehicle and the brackets are removable on...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Saturn S Series SL1 Sedan
    To use the Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox/Demco tow bar adapter, # RM-033, you will need to install Roadmaster base plates like # 162-2. Then, to make the arms of the base plates removable, you will also need quick disconnects # RM-201. If you have a Blue Ox Adventurer, Acclaim, Ambassador, Aventa, Aladdin, Alpha or Allure tow bar, you could just use Blue Ox base plates, # BX3310, and not worry about an adapter. With the base plates and tow bar out of the way you will also need safety...

  • Base Plate Kit and Other Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2000 Saturn SL1 with a Rangefinder II Tow Bar
    To use your RangeFinder II tow bar to flat tow your 2000 Saturn SL 1 you will need to use the Roadmaster Bracket Adapter # RM-037 with a Roadmaster base plate kit. The Roadmaster base plate kits that will fit the Saturn are # 154-2, # 52181-1, and # 162-2. All three work with the bracket adapters. To fat tow the Saturn you'll also need wiring, safety cables, a braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. For the safety cable use # RM-643. The coiled design is great to keep them from...

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, Wiring, Safety Cables, Braking System to Flat Tow a 2000 Saturn S Series
    The major difference between Roadmaster Base Plates, # 162-2 and # 162-3 is that the 162-3 only goes up to 1999 models of the Saturn SL 1 and SL 2 series. Since you have a 2000 you would use Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 162-2. In addition to the base plates, there are several items you will need to flat tow your 2000 Saturn S series. For a tow bar, I recommend the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, # RM-020 with Quick Disconnects # RM-201. I have included a link to the installation details for...

  • Will the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 162-3 Fit on a 2000 Saturn SL
    We do offer a Roadmaster XL base plate kit for your 2000 Saturn SL, but the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 162-3, will not fit your vehicle. This kit is designed to fit 1996 to 1999 model years only. I verified with my contact at Roadmaster that there were a few slight frame and fascia changes from the 1999 year model SL to the 2000 year model SL which is why they had to manufacture a different XL base plate kit for the later model SLs. We cannot recommend modifying a base plate kit to...
