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.

  • What is a Complete Flat Tow Set-Up for My 2013 Subaru Crosstrek or XV Crosstrek?
    Hello Bob, Happy to get a package together for you to tow your 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek (not sure why Subaru marketed this car as the XV Crosstrek and just the Crosstrek, let’s just stick with one model please). Your Crosstrek must have a manual transmission in order to flat tow; it also CANNOT be a hybrid. - Base plate: Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 52922-1A - Tow bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - Non-Binding - RV Mount - 8,000...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek With Manual Transmission Behind 2021 Winnebago View
    The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 52922-1A which fits your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek is going to require a Crossbar # 910021-00. You are also likely going to need a Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter # BLU28XR to keep the Tow Bars # RM-676 within 3" of level. The Accessory Kit # RM-9284-2 along with the Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 will take care of the electrical components you are going to need. For the braking system I recommend the Demco systems as they are the best in...

  • Can a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Be Flat-Towed
    If your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek has an automatic transmission then no, it cannot be flat-towed with four wheels down. It must instead be towed on a trailer with all four wheels off the ground. However, if your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek has a manual transmission then yes, it can be flat-towed with four wheels down. That said, flat-towing setups are not exactly cost effective which is something to bear in mind but I have attached for you below a list of cost effective flat-towing parts you can...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
    For you 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek we do have base plate kits available.. You would want the Roadmaster kit part # 52922-1A as it has been confirmed to fit your vehicle. 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 2, # RM-520. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
    First you need a base plate that is confirmed to fit your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. For that we have the Roadmaster part # 52922-1A that fits the manual transmission models of the vehicle like yours. This would work well with the Sterling tow bar part # RM-576 which is one of the nicer tow bars available. This comes with safety cables as well. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight...

  • How to Maintain Battery Charge in Flat Towed 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek
    The 12V power circuit on a motor home's 7-Way socket, which is typically protected with a 40-amp circuit breaker like # PK54540, will deliver a maintenance level charge to a connected battery on either a towed vehicle or trailer. However, a depleted battery will NOT get a full charging current from this auxiliary 12V feed and will not fully re-charge. An A/C shore-power charger like the CTEK # CTEK56865 can re-charge a depleted battery. Some vehicles when flat towed will need to have their...

  • Additional Components Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek with Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar
    The five basic components required for flat towing are a tow bar, safety cables, wiring or lighting, base plates for the towed vehicle and a supplementary braking system. All of these items are explained in detail in the linked article. Some vehicles will require specific preparation steps to make them ready for towing and some even require addition of items such as a transmission lube pump so it is important to check the owner's manual for your 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek. You'll want to...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek
    The owner's manuals I'm able to find online for a 2016 and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek don't mention flat towing at all. Your best bet is to check with Subaru to find out if it can be flat towed, and what steps are necessary to do so. From what I have found both model years can be flat towed since you have a manual transmission but I still recommend verifying with Subaru. Also, both models use the same parts to be flat towed so what I recommend works with either the 2016 or the 2017. For...

    For your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek base plate kit you can use the Blue Ox # BX3620 kit or the Roadmaster # 52922-1A kit. An important question is what tow bar will you use and will you need additional adapters for one or the other. You can email me your for bar recommendations, or to let me know what bar you have for more specific recommendations.

  • Parts Needed to Flat-Tow a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with Manual Transmission
    In order to flat-tow your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with all four wheels down you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, supplemental braking system, wiring harness, safety cables, and a possible high-low adapter. You may also need a few more items depending on which of the major components above that you select. Therefore, you do have most of the major components listed but there will still be a few more things needed to complete your setup. For a base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster...

  • Is There Trimming or Cutting Required to Install Roadmaster Base Plate Kit on 2016 Subaru Crosstrek
    The installation of the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 52922-1A does not require much trimming or cutting. There is a section of the fascia that gets trimmed but I wouldn't say it's an invasive amount of trimming.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek Behind an RV
    Yes, I checked with Roadmaster and base plates # 52922-1A will fit the 2017 Subaru Crosstrek but does not include hybrid models. They also note that they only work with models with a manual transmission. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520 and for safety cables you can use # RM-643. I have linked a video on the tow bar for you. For lighting you can use a 4-diode kit # RM-15267. Or you could use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. You may also need a high/low adapter...
