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.

  • Does Blue Ox Tow Bar Require Blue Ox Base Plate on 2000 Ford Focus
    Hi Rick, The Roadmaster base plate # 52491-1 for a 2000 Ford Focus does not work with a Blue Ox tow bar, so you will need the Blue Ox base plates. The correct part number for that is the following: - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2173

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Ford Focus
    If you are planning on flat towing your 2002 Ford Focus you have to use a base plate kit that attaches directly to the frame as you cannot use the tow hooks as a tow bar attachment point. As long as your vehicle is a manual the correct fit is the part # 52491-1. We do not have any fits for auto transmission vehicles. 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...

  • Can 2002 Ford Focus With Front Wheel Drive Be Flat-Towed
    I checked the owner's manual for your 2002 Ford Focus with a front wheel drive, and found that it is not recommended for flat-towing. Per the manual they recommend using a tow dolly so that the drive wheels are not on the ground when towing. We do offer a tow dolly that may work for you. It is the RoadMaster Tow Dolly, part # RM-2050-1. This dolly has an adjustable axle and ramps so it will fit most vehicles. This dolly does have electric brakes so a brake controller will be needed. The...

  • Flat Towing Accessories for 2001 Ford Focus
    In my research, I found that manual transmission-equipped Focus models are capable of being flat towed without modification. I was not able to find any information about automatic transmission models, however. If your Focus has an automatic transmission, please check with your owners manual or with Ford for more information. If you should confirm that your vehicle is indeed capable of being flat towed, you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring solution so that the...

  • Can 2000 Ford Focus Wagon with Manual Transmission be Flat-Towed Behind Motorhome
    According to our primary resource for flat-towing information, Roadmaster Engineering, the 2000 model year Ford Focus wagon with manual transmission can be flat towed, unless the owner's manual for your particular vehicle indicates otherwise. It is always wise to check your manual for any guidelines, restrictions or special preparations needed to safely flat tow your Focus wagon. Safe and legal flat towing requires a number of components: a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring or lighting...

  • Will Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar Work With EZ Base Plate Kit # 52491-1 on 2000 Ford Focus
    The 2000 Ford Focus with the manual transmission is towable as is. The automatic model must be towed with a tow dolly. So, you will be able to flat tow your Focus since it is a manual transmission. The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, part # 52491-1, you have referenced, are the correct base plates for your Ford Focus. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar will work with the Roadmaster EZ base plates on your Focus. To complete the towing set up for your Ford Focus, you will also need safety cables,...

  • Availability of a Roadmaster Base Plate to Reese Tow Bar Adapter for Flat Towing a 2004 Ford Focus
    It is possible that you will be able to use the Reese tow bar with the Roadmaster base plates, # 52491-1. If it is the Tow Ready Tow Bar by Draw-Tite, Hidden Hitch, and Reese, # 63180, you will need Roadmaster base plate to Tow Ready tow bar adapter, # RM-025. In order to make the base plate arms removable, you will also need quick disconnects, part # RM-201. I have also included a link to our series of articles on flat towing a vehicle. You should keep in mind that the Tow Ready tow bar...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Manual Transmission Equipped Ford Focus
    If your Focus does NOT have the 2.3L engine, you can use the Demco # DM9517088 base plate kit. If you do have the 2.3L engine, you could use the Roadmaster EZ base plate, part # 52491-1 along with the # RM-032 adapter. The adapter would allow the Roadmaster base plate to work with your Demco Commander II tow bar. If you don't already have them, you'll need safety cables like part # RM-643. To wire up your Focus, I'd recommend a diode kit like the # RM-15247 from Roadmaster. For your...
