Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-521196-5

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Twist Lock Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. Installs on your vehicle's frame.


Features:

  • Direct-connect brackets provide attachment points for your motor-home-mounted tow bar
  • Streamlined design creates supremely clean look
    • No obtrusive quick-disconnect crossbar
    • Hidden brackets sit even farther back than standard brackets
  • Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
    • Arms click to lock in place in brackets
    • Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
  • 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 motor-home-mounted tow bars only
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


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


The drawbars, or front arms, on this 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 each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. 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.

  • Can 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Be Flat Towed
    Hey John! The answer in this case is yes and no. Officially, you cannot flat tow your 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD. If you look in the owner's manual it states "Your vehicle is not designed to be dinghy towed (with 4 wheels on the ground) behind a motor home." However, base plate kits exist for the Tacoma which means enough people do it anyway. If you want to flat tow the vehicle and it is a manual you can put it in neutral, put the transfer case in 2WD, and accept the risks. For an automatic...

  • Can The Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System Be Installed In A 2021 Toyota Tacoma
    Hey David, You can use the Roadmaster InvisiBrake # RM-8700 as your 2021 Toyota Tacoma's supplemental braking system. There is a note that with your vehicle you'll want to set the brake pressure at 20 psi to start and then adjust up as needed. You'll also need to tap into the cold side of the brake light switch, which should be a blue wire coming from the brake pedal. You can test the wire with a multimeter # PT89ZR or hook & probe tester # PTW2993 to see if it only has power when the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    There are base plates that fit your 2005 Toyota Tacoma, though the Roadmaster # RM-521196-5 base plates you referenced are not a fit. In regards to if this truck can be flat towed, I looked in the online version of the owner's manual and was not able to find any reference to if this truck could be flat towed (sometimes called Recreational Towing) so I recommend contacting your local Toyota dealer to find out if this truck can be flat towed. In regards to each of the other parts you need...
