Features:

  • Hidden bracket design provides improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Drawbars are easily removable - just twist and pull
    • No pins or clips required
  • 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)

The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style series base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. 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.

  • Can 2015 Jeep Patriot Manual Transmission FWD be Flat Towed
    Yes, you can flat tow a 2015 Jeep Patriot FWD with a manual/standard transmission. The Roadmaster base plate kit part # 521441-1 that you referenced is the correct fit. 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 All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety...

  • Is 2015 Jeep Patriot Capable of Being Flat Towed
    According to the 2015 Jeep Patriot Owner's Manual, automatic transmission equipped models of the Patriot aren't flat towable. If your Patriot is a FWD model, it can be towed with the front wheels off the ground using a tow dolly like # RM-2050-1. 4WD models would need to be towed on a trailer.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Jeep Patriot Behind a Motor Home
    According to the owners manual for the 2014 Jeep Patriot in the recreational towing section, you can only flat tow the vehicle if it has a manual transmission. If it is an automatic it cannot be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. It can be towed on a tow dolly, such as # RM-2050-1, with the front axle on the dolly. This only works for front wheel drive models and would work with manual or automatics. And of course, the third option is to tow the vehicle on a trailer with all 4 wheels...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2016 Jeep Patriot
    If your 2016 Jeep Patriot has a manual transmission then you can flat tow it and you will need a wiring harness in addition to the parts you mentioned. The only way to tow your Patriot if it has an automatic transmission is to use a dolly like item # DM9713093. For a compatible base plate kit, I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit item # 521441-1. This has removable arms and will work great with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e44ZR. This tow bar has a 6,000...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Jeep Patriot with manual Transmission
    When flat towing a vehicle you have to go by all of the vehicle manufacturers procedures outlined in the owners manual. Otherwise you will void the warranty. We are aware of a guy that had to replace a transmission in his vehicle for not following the recommended flat towing instructions. It was a brand new vehicle and his warranty was not honored because of how he chose to flat tow the vehicle. That being said the reason most vehicles require the key be on and the battery disconnected...

    Yes, the 2012 Jeep Patriot with 5-Speed Manual can be flat-towed with all four wheels down.

  • What is Needed To Flat Tow a 2013 Jeep Patriot Behind RV
    To flat tow a 2013 Jeep Patriot, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, wiring, a braking system, and maybe a high-low hitch adapter.

  • Which Base Plate Kit for 2017 Jeep Patriot Requires Least Amount of Trimming
    There isn't a whole lot of trimming for either the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 521441-1 or the Blue Ox part # BX1130 but the Roadmaster has the edge in my opinion as both require fascia trimming but the Blue Ox requires a reciprocating saw to trim a portion of the bumper beam.

  • Recommended Parts to Flat Tow 2014 Jeep Patriot Behind Motorhome
    In order to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Patriot, you'll need a tow bar which you already have, base plates, a wiring setup, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter. The Roadmaster # 521441-1 would be a fine choice for a base plate, as long as your Patriot isn't equipped with the tow hooks up front. If you do have the tow hooks, you'll need to go with the Blue Ox # BX1130 along with a # RM-031 adapter. If you don't already have the necessary safety cables, use # RM-643....

  • Does the Bar on the etrailer SD Tow Bar Connect to the Base Plate for a 2016 Jeep Patriot?
    The bar at the end of the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar item # e44ZR will attach to the arms on the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit item # 521441-1. This is a crossbar style base plate kit which has removable arms that attach to the bar on the etrailer tow bar. You definitely need to use the bar.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Wiring Harness for a 2016 Jeep Patriot
    Happy to help! The best wiring harness to flat tow your 2016 Jeep Patriot is going to be the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267. This kit splices a set of diodes into your taillight wiring so that your motorhome can activate them while you are towing your Jeep. This kit also includes the cord that will connect to your motorhome home's 7-way. I have linked an installation video so you can see how to get this wiring harness set up. The rest of the parts...

  • Do Base Plate Dimension Differences Impact Flat Towing a 2014 Jeep Patriot Manual Transmission?
    For your 2014 Jeep Patriot manual transmission, the Blue Ox Base Plates Kit # BX1130 is a fit as is the Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit # 521441-1. It is true that these base plates are different based on height and width dimensions but they are both good options for your Jeep. The width or distance between the attachment points for a tow bar are different, but there is not a specific width that is too narrow or too wide for systems designed to work together. They will allow similar clearances...

  • Recommended Vehicle Tow Bar Wiring for 2016 Jeep Patriot
    For a tow bar wiring kit that will allow you to use your Jeep Patriot's signal lights, I recommend the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs # RM-155.

The kit will include all the required wiring, lights and sockets needed for installation. I have attached an installation video on the 2014 Jeep Patriot that...

  • Economic Tow Bar Recommendation for 2016 Jeep Patriot with Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
    The most economic and safe way to tow a vehicle with a Roadmaster base plate kit like the part # 521441-1 that you referenced is going to be with a Roadmaster tow bar. Otherwise you have to get an adapter to go along with it which adds expense to the setup. For the price the Tracker part # RM-020 is the one to go with. But you would be happier with the Stowmaster part # RM-501 which has telescoping arms that allow you to relieve tension in the arms when you are connecting and disconnecting...

Four-wheel drive Patriots can be towed with all wheels on the ground. If the Patriot has front wheel drive then it needs to be towed with front wheels off the ground.

    The Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit, # 521441-1, base plates will fit the 2012 Jeep Patriot with fog lights, but they must have a manual transmission and no front tow hooks. The fog lights do not interfere with the installation of the Roadmaster base plates. I have attached a photo showing the base plates installed on a Jeep Patriot with fog lights. If your Jeep has an automatic transmission, then it cannot be flat towed. If you do have a manual transmission, then you may be interested...
