Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 917-1

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
    • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • 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)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA

The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. 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.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Base Plates for a 2006 Subaru Outback for Falcon 2 Tow Bar
    Yes, you can get base plates by themselves for your 2006 Subaru Outback. I recommend XL base plates # 917-1 which are the most popular option for your vehicle. You mentioned that you have a tow bar and all of the accessories. I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't make sure you had everything you are going to need. Flat towing requires 5 main components: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. We have the base plates and tow bar covered so if you need...

  • Tow Bar for a 2006 Subaru Legacy
    Tow bars are not vehicle specific, so what you need are tow bars that are compatible with base plates. The base plates I recommend which are a confirmed fit for all models of your 2006 Subaru Legacy, including the Estate, are the Roadmaster XL # 917-1. For a tow bar, a great option would be the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 due to how easy it is to hook-up even if your RV and Legacy aren't perfectly aligned. I've added a link to a video review of this tow bar for you to take a look at.

  • What Size Plug Does the Bracket on the Roadmaster Base Plate 917-1 Fit
    You are correct. The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 917-1 has a bracket built in for a 6 pin socket-which is the most commonly used wiring plug when flat towing. This base plate kit is a confirmed fit on your 2005 Subaru Outback Sedan and will work well with something like the Roadmaster Flexo-Coil wiring # RM-15267.

  • Distance Between the Receivers on Main Brace of Roadmaster XL Base Plat Kit
    I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and he said the distance between the two receivers of the main brace from the outside edge to the outside edge of the receivers is 28-3/4". I have made a diagram of the dimensions of the main brace and distance between the receivers for your reference.
