Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 277-3A

  • 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


Note: 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.


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.

  • Will Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs # BX88266 fit a 2005 Ram 2500?
    The Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs # BX88266 can be bolted on to a metal bumper by drilling holes and using the hardware provided. However, these are typically used as a last-resort solution in the case that there isn't a standard base plate available for your vehicle. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 277-3A for baseplates on your 2005 Ram 2500. These have an easy, bolt-on installation and will be compatible with all Roadmaster...

    First thing you need to flat tow your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 2500 is a base plate kit, which for that we have the Roadmaster part # 277-3A as a confirmed fit. Next you'll need a tow bar with enough capacity for your truck like the Roadmaster Nighthawk part # RM-676 which has an 8k capacity and also comes with safety cables.
