• Roadmaster Base Plates for a Sterling Tow Bar and a 2011 Jeep Liberty
  The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the owners manual of your 2011 Jeep Liberty to determine if it can be flat towed or if anything additional is needed to tow the vehicle. From the research I did, all wheel drive models with automatic transmissions and models with 2 wheel drive and a 6 or 5 speed can only be towed on a trailer. Two wheel drive models with automatic transmission will require a transmission lube pump. And 4 wheel drive models with automatic transmission...

• Will the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit Work W/ the Roadmaster Explorer Tow Bar
  Tim, it looks like the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521433-1 is a direct connect style base plate and the Roadmaster Explorer is a crossbar style base plate, so the two unfortunately won't work with each other. I'd recommend using something different that works with direct connect base plates like the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522

  There are several differences between the EZ5 base plates # RM-521423-5 and the regular EZ base plates # 521433-1. The biggest difference is what each of them fits.

• How to Use Blue Ox or Demco Tow Bars with a Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit
  No, the Universal Tow Bar Adapter for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Baseplate # RM62ZR will not work with your Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521433-1.

  For your 2011 Jeep Liberty there are only base plate kits from Roadmaster that require the use of a crossbar like the EZ Kit part # 521433-1 which you have currently. Some vehicles with heavier duty frames allow the use of the direct connect style base plates but this isn't available for every vehicle.
