  • 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

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.

    If you have a manual transmission then the vehicle can be flat towed with all four wheels down and for this you would need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, supplemental braking system, wiring harness, and probably a high-low adapter. For the 2012 Chevy Cruze there are a few options depending on trim level. base plates for various models. The base plates # 523168-1 are for non-Eco models. If you have an Eco model with active air shutter system then select the # 523170-1 option. I...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Chevy Cruze 2LT with Manual Transmission
    For the 2012 Chevy Cruze it looks like there are base plates for various models. If your 2LT does not have fog lights and is not an RS model then I recommend the Roadmaster base plates # 523168-1. If you have an Eco model with active air shutter system, go with # 523170-1. And for an RS model the only option is # BX1698. For either of the Roadmaster base plates I recommend the Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520. If you need the Blue Ox base plates then go with the Avail tow bar # BX7420. For safety...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Chevy Cruise Diesel Behind Class A Motorhome
    The online owner's manual for the 2014 Chevy Cruise notes that the version with automatic transmission cannot be flat towed with all wheels down but the manual transmission model can be flat towed from the front up to 65-mph. Page 10-86 of the manual details the preparation steps to be followed, which include pulling 4 specific fuses (fuses 22, 23, 24 and 25 in the instrument panel fuse block) to prevent battery drainage. No mention is made to the diesel engine option affecting the vehicle's...

  • Recommended Base Plates and Tow Bar for Towing 2014 Chevy Cruze Behind Motorhome
    You'll only be able to flat tow your 2014 Chevy Cruze with all 4 wheels down if it has a manual transmission. If it DOES have a manual transmission, I'd recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain tow bar, part # RM-522. For base plates, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # 523170-1 for Eco models or # 523168-1 for Non-Eco models. You'll also need safety cables, a taillight wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the 17 inch installed base plate height...

  • Parts Needed For Also Flat Towing a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze With Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bars
    First you will need either the Roadmaster Base Plate # 523170-1 if you have an eco trim on your 2011 Chevrolet Cruze or a Roadmaster Base Plate # 523168-1 for all other trim levels. To connect your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522 you will need a Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00 as the mounting systems for your Cruze require a crossbar. For the tail light wiring you will need the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152 and a 6-Wire...
