Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-3177-1

  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Roadmaster
  • 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
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


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.

  • Base Plates for 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500
    No, a ball mount will not work as a way to flat tow your 2016 Chevy Silverado, you will need to add base plates to your truck and then use a high/low adapter. I've linked the page below to your options to assist.

  • Recommended Components Needed To Flat Tow 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Behind Motorhome
    First, yes you can flat-tow your 2015 Sierra 1500. When flat-towing any vehicle you need 5 items. You need base plates for the towed vehicle, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. I'll make some recommendations that will work for you. The base plates I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # RM-3177-1. This kit has removable arms that make these base plates almost invisible when not towing. The tow...

  • Flat Towing Wiring Harness and Accessories to Flat Tow 2014 GMC Sierra 1500
    To wire your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 so it's taillights operate in conjunction with those of the towing vehicle or Motorhome, you'll need a diode system like # RM-15267. The installation isn't too involved, as you can see in the install video I've linked for you. You'll also need a few other items to flat tow your truck. Assuming you have a Roadmaster tow bar, the # RM-3177-1 base plates would work fine for you. You'll also need some safety cables like # RM-643, a supplemental braking system...

  • How To Use Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar On 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
    The Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar can be used on a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-3177-1. That said, you'll still need safety cables, wiring, and a braking system to complete your setup. I have attached these items below.

  • Recommended Base Plate Kit for a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 with Roadmaster Tow Bar
    For a base plate kit that will allow you to use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar part # RM-501 on your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500, I recommend using the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit part # RM-3177-1. In order to complete your flat towing setup you will also need safety cables, wiring harness, and a supplemental braking system. If you would like my recommendation for any of these items please let me know and I would be happy to do so.

  • Roadmaster Baseplate Options For A 2018 GMC Sierra 1500
    The StowMaster 5,000 only has a 5,000lb capacity so it will likely be overloaded by your 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 so I don't recommend using it. If you still choose to then you'll need a crossbar style baseplate like the # RM-3177-1 you were looking at. If you want to upgrade to a heavier duty tow bar, like the etrailer # e74ZR, then you can go with a direct-connect style baseplate like part # RM-3177-3.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4 inch Lift Kit
    It is possible to flat tow a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 4 inch lift kit behind your RV. You will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. I looked up a copy of the owner's manual for a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and it stated that only 4WD versions can be flat towed. For a 2WD version you will need to use a Tow Dolly, like part # RM-2050-1. If you have a 2WD just let me know and I can help you get all of the appropriate parts. You...

  • Which Blue Ox Base Plate Kit is a Fit for 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500
    If you are looking for the correct Blue Ox base plate kit that does fit your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Blue Ox doesn't currently have a fit. The # BX1710 is designed for the older generation where the front end is slightly different. Instead, I recommend using the Roadmaster base plate kit # RM-3177-1 and then if you are using a Blue Ox tow bar you will use adapter # RM-033. For a tow bar with safety cables we have the part # BX7380 which would work well. For lighting you can use the...
