    When flat towing a vehicle, there are 5 main components that are needed. Starting with base plates, the 2000 Grand Am will need Roadmaster Base Plates # 194-3. To install this you will need moderate mechanical skills and aptitude.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am
    First you will need to start with a base plate kit for your 2004 Pontiac Grand Am. If you have an SE model you would need the part # 194-3, if you have a GT you would need the part # BX3227. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2003 Oldsmobile Alero with a Roadmaster Falcon 5250 Tow Bar
    There are 5 items needed to flat tow a vehicle. But first, you will want to consult the vehicle owners manual for your 2003 Oldsmobile Alero for specific information on flat towing it.

You already have one component, the tow bar, so next you will need base plates. Roadmaster base plates # 194-3 are compatible with the Falcon...

  • Base Plates and Equipment Necessary to Flat Tow 2003 Chevy Malibu Behind a Motorhome
    We offer a Roadmaster base plate, part # 194-3 that's compatible with your 2003 Chevy Malibu. To use the 194-3 base plate with the # 63180 tow bar you mentioned, you'll need an adapter, part # RM-025. FYI, the # 63180 tow bar you referred to is only rated for 45 mph. My research indicates that your Malibu is capable of being flat towed, but there are specific procedures listed in the owner's manual that need to be followed closely. GM doesn't recommend towing at speeds greater than 65 mph. If...
