If you like a clean, factory look when your vehicle isn’t hitched up, this base plate keeps it that way. The hidden bracket design tucks the mounting points neatly behind the grille. When you remove the drawbars, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and protected from scrapes or scuffs. It keeps everything low-profile and out of sight until it’s time to tow again.
The EZ Twistlock drawbars make connecting your tow bar quick and simple. Each arm slides into the bracket, twists to lock in place, and that’s it—no pins or clips to fuss with. When you’re ready to unhook, just twist back and pull out. It’s a straightforward system that saves time when setting up or breaking down your towing setup.
This base plate kit is made from computer-cut, all-steel components for consistent precision and strength. The black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance so it stays solid through road grime and weather. It installs directly to the vehicle frame with no welding required, giving you a sturdy connection point you can trust mile after mile.
This kit provides attachment points that are compatible with Roadmaster tow bars and Quick Disconnects. Instructions and mounting hardware come in the box so you can get started right away. The straightforward bolt-on design makes it a practical option for anyone setting up a dependable flat-towing system.

Very happy with this product. Installation was pretty easy. I see no reason to pay someone to install this. True you have to take the bumper off and a large metal support beam but it was pretty easy. You just have to take it slow and not get frustrated. The bumper on the Honda Fit is held on with a gazillion little plastic clips and snap joints. Everything fits tight on a Honda so you have to be patient. My only complaint is they don't give you the exact torque settings. I had to consult a shop manual to get the correct torque values. They give a table at the end of the instructions that gives common torque values for various bolt sizes. I thought that was lame they could have given the correct value from the shop manual. Certainly not enough to lower my rating. This bar is awesome and when the drawbars are removed the base plate is almost completely hidden. My wife wanted nothing to show on the front of the car. She was very pleased with it.
In the picture attached the bar is almost completely hidden. All you see are two small black circles. It takes about 2 seconds to mount the drawbars, just twist and go. VERY sturdy. I tow my Honda behind the motorhome with confidence.
It does what it's supposed to do, which actually seems to be special these days. In all seriousness we purchased this for out Liberty, which blew it's ending the first time we tried to go on a big trip. We had it taken off of that Liberty and put on another and that's what it was on for our tip from AZ to Chicago. We have connected and disconnected probably a dozen times and took the arms off to drive around Chicago. It works just like it should and it is nice to not have to worry about at least one item. Hightly recommend this system.
I had my tow car blow its engine in South Dakota while on vacation. It needed to be replaced. I bought a used car and ordered a tow bracket for it and had it shipped to one of my destinations so I could install it there.
Unfortunately that car also broke down but I was able to return it. I asked to return that bracket and etrailer accepted it back.
I found a different car and ordered the bracket for it plus a wiring kit. etrailer shipped those and they were there when I got there.
They were easy to install and fit exceptionally well. After having my wife drive the new tow car for 1000 miles we were happy to get back in the motor home while we traveled.
Parts came very quickly. The base plates are really well make and of heavy material. If you watch the video it is a breeze to install. Make sure you have some new clips for your bumper as the old ones will break, not all but some. I ordered clips from Amazon. I used a vibrating saw with cutting blade and it did nice job cutting plastic bumper cover.
I received the base plate for my Miata at 4:30 Monday by 7:00 it was installed and ready to go.A great product fit very nicely.Ordering and follow up went great can’t wait to try it out Just need to decide on the tow bar we will use.The Falcon or Sterling .Thank you for a great product and service.
It was a very easy install and it did great. Only got to use it for 2 months though before a semi drug his trailer across the back on my toad and totaled the vehicle.
Installed on 2014 GMC Acadia. Very sturdy and heavy duty base plate. I installed it myself. You will need a little automotive knowledge and more tools then the average do it yourself-er. It took about 6 hours, by myself. It looks more intimidating then it turned out to be. You can't see it when not in use which makes it nice for the wife, since it's her car.
Pictures show the tow bar adapter. Sorry, no pictures of adapter removed.
Roadmaster base plate for 2010 GMC Terrain. Very detailed instructions, great videos. Product was as described, no holes to drill, just replace factory parts with Roadmaster parts. Everything went together very well. I used the instructions supplied along with the video on my laptop. Hardest part was popping the bumper shroud back on due to colder temperature. I have a fair bit of experience with rebuilding classic cars so have lots tools and reasonable mechanical ability.
Purchased the towing adapter for my GMC Terrain a few week ago, received it on time & boxed not damaged. Watched the videos’ about three time on how to do it myself and started one evening and finished it the next morning about three hours with Beer Breaks, LoL. All the parts fix perfectly, had no problems with any of the parts, Product is real sturdy and if you don’t know where to look at the bumper you will not see the hide away receiver brackets. Very nice product, do it yourself and save
Up loading two photos if it will let me one is with hide away brackets installed and the other one you can see is my complete tow bar attached to the hide away brackets
easy to follow instructions, took about 3 hours to install. paper template for holes in facia would be great .
Seems like a very well-made sturdy product. Instructions were good however the holes did not quite lineup like they were supposed to so I had to do some mild to moderate modification. I like the way it looks without the towbar on the base plate. It’s fairly well hidden.
Thanks for being a great knowledgeable person about this tow set up. It fit perfect and the directions made it a no brainer
Many reviews for this base plate said they could not hook up the U bolts. I had no problem using the U bolts. I did not tighten any bolts until I had them all in place. Then, I tightened all the nuts and bolts. I marked them with paint so I could see if any of them backed off. After a year, all of them are still tight. We towed our mini 4,000 miles in the first year.
very good service thank you Adam
Just received my order all looks good will install it soon.... Andre
I ordered a number of things in one order, next day got all but one item I was pleasantly surprised the last item came today from west coast , great service kept me updated on the order kudos to you all great great service thank you very much.
Hard time getting the bolts out of the frame but after that it went well.
Easy install easy to use.
Bolted on as to instructions!
It is a lot easier to take of the bumper it is all plastic anyway then to take off the air intake
Arrived very quickly as usual. Very easy to install. No need to even have to take off the bumper cover. Did it by myself in approximately one hour. Directions are easy to follow.
we bought these to put on our Dodge Dakata 4x4 in order to tow it behind our motorhome. They were easy to install by myself, and they work great! I would recommend them highly .
very well made and just getting pickup ready for flat towing. Fast shipping and excellent service. Highly recommend.
