The drawbars, or front arms, on the EZ 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 2003 Honda Civic be Flat Towed with Demco Tow Bar
    Hey Barry, your Demco tow bar can attach to Roadmaster base plate kits with the adapter part # RM-032 so you'd just need the correct base plate for your 2003 Honda Civic part # 521537-1. Do you have the rest of your flat towing components?

  • What is Needed to Flat Tow a 2004 Honda Civic EX
    There are many components that are needed to safely flat tow vehicle behind your RV. You will need base plates, tow bar set-up, safety chains, a lighting solution and a supplemental braking system. Some applications also may need a high-low adapter to make sure the tow bars are level when towing. Consulting your local Honda Dealer will confirm if you are able to flat tow this model Civic. Everything that I have seen tells me that your 2004 Honda Civic can be flat towed, but the manufacturer...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Honda Civic
    Since the only Blue Ox base plate kit for your 2005 Honda Civic has fixed arms you would want to go with the Roadmaster kit part # 521537-1 and then use the adapter part # BX88178 to allow your Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 to attach to it. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-154, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight assemblies. You will also want the # BX88206 to connect this lighting solution to your tow vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow A 2004 Honda Civic Behind Motorhome
    To flat tow your 2004 Honda Civic you will need vehicle specific base plates, a tow bar, safety chains, a supplemental braking system, tow wiring for your Civic, and a wiring extension. For base plates, I recommend a Roadmaster kit. If your Civic is a Hybrid or standard model use # 521537-1. If you have an SI this will not fit. I recommend the Roadmaster Sterling, # RM-576. It'll pair nicely with either base plate kit and it includes safety cables and a wiring harness. I recommend...

  • Inexpensive Tow Bar for a 2003 Honda Civic EX
    The Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms part # C19745 would not mount directly to the front bumper fascia on your 2003 Honda Civic EX because it is made of plastic. In order to use this tow bar you would need to remove the front bumper fascia and attach this to the bumper support beam or the core support arms. If you do not want to remove the front bumper fascia each time then your only option would be a set of base plates and tow bar. The cost cost effective option we have for this...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2004 Honda Civic EX Manual Transmission
    First thing you'll need to flat tow your 2004 Honda Civic is a base plate kit like the Road EZ Base Plate kit part # 521537-1. Since it's a manual transmission you'd have to just basically put the vehicle in neutral and you'd be set. 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 Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes...

  • Availability of Base Plates for Flat Towing 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan
    Roadmaster and Blue Ox both offer base plates for the 2004 Honda Civic Hybrid Sedan and these can be seen on the link provided. Both feature twist-lock removable draw bars and both will require some trimming of the bumper fascia and other components. The Roadmaster kit is part # 521537-1 and the Blue Ox kit is part # BX2236. The Roadmaster Tracker tow bar # RM-020 that you referenced is compatible with these Roadmaster base plates so I suggest these for your application. Flat towing also...

  • Base Plates and Tow Bar Recommendation for 2005 Honda Civic LX
    The base plates we offer for the 2005 Honda Civic are specific to the version of the car.
