Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-298-3

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

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
    • Crossbar not required because these direct-connect base plates are designed for strong, heavy-duty applications
  • Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.


Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.


Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with 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.

  • Recommended Complete Flat Tow System for 2013-2014 Ram 1500
    For your 2013 or 2014 Ram 1500, the first thing you need for your flat towing set-up is the baseplate. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-52289-5 unless you have the Sport or Express model in which case I recommend the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit # RM-298-3. Then for your tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676. This tow bar comes with a wiring connection from 7-way to 6-way and has LEDs for better visibility....

  • Recommended Parts Needed to Flat (Dinghy/Recreational) Tow a 2015 Ram 1500
    The parts that you need to flat tow a 2015 Ram 1500 are a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. The actual part numbers though will vary depending on what model of 1500 you end up getting. If you have a Standard model use the base plate kit # RM-52289-5 but if you have a Sport or Express use the kit # RM-298-3 instead. Both of these are compatible with the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain # RM-676....

  • Parts Needed to Flat Dinghy/Recreational Tow a 2016 or 2017 Ram 1500
    Whether you have a 2016 Ram 1500 or a 2017 Ram 1500 we have exactly what you need! A complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and typically a high-low adapter. If you go with a Big Horn, Laramie/Laramie Longhorn, Tradesman, or Limited I recommend the base plate kit # RM-52289-5. For a Rebel model I recommend part # RM-52299-5, and for a Sport or Express model I recommend part # RM-298-3. Then for...

  • 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 Flat Tow Options with Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
    There is a difference in the front bumper available on the varying trim levels. The design difference between the Roadmaster # RM-52289-5 and the Roadmaster # RM-298-3 addresses this bumper option. I suggest you consult your owners manual or the title to identify the specific trim level of the 2014 Ram 1500 you are asking about. However, the sport and express models have molded and painted bumper panels whereas the other option is a traditional steel bumper that is either painted or chrome.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Ram 1500 Lone Star with a Blackhawk Tow Bar
    For your 2015 Ram 1500 you can use Roadmaster base plates # 52289-1 and they will be compatible with your Blackhawk tow bar # RM-422. Base plates # RM-298-3 fits Express and Sport models only. If you need safety cables you can use # BX88197 which are rated for 10,000 pounds. For lighting, our installers prefer to use the bulb and socket kit # RM-155 because it is amongst the easiest installations and it bypasses the vehicle wiring. And finally, most states now require supplemental braking...

  • Recommended Parts to Flat Tow a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500
    There isn't a Sportsman model, so I assume you have a 2015 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman 4x4, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-52289-5 if that is the case. If you have the Sport, then I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-298-3 which is a similar baseplate but fits that sport frame. For your tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422. This will meet up to your base plates to give you a really nice connection....

  • Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2018 Ram 1500
    It sounds like your Ram 1500 is a Sport and Express model with molded and painted bumper panels whereas the other options use a traditional steel bumper that is either painted or chrome.

You will want to verify this because if you have a Big Horn, Laramie and Longhorn, or Tradesman you will need item # RM-52289-5.
