Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-521440-5

  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Roadmaster
  • 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    In order to flat tow your Jeep Grand Cherokee behind an RV you need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter.

This kit is custom fit for your Grand Cherokee and features a hidden bracket design that provides a clean look when you aren't towing. Its black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant.

    Hey Andy! The premium lighting group that Jeep offers for the 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited won't affect which diode wiring kit you need.

I have listed the parts below: Without Proximity Sensors - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267 or item # RM-152 for just the diodes With Proximity Sensors - Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit...

    You are correct that there are quite a few parts necessary to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind your motorhome but I'll be happy to list everything you'll need. As you mentioned, you'll need base plates, and the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-521440-5 is a confirmed fit for your Jeep so long as it is not an SRT-8 model, which since you listed this part I assume it is not.

  • Will 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Require Brake Light Relay Kit
    Hi Patrick; the # RM-88400 is not required for your Patriot 2 or the Hopkins # HM59VR. It is necessary on some vehicles depending on the braking system, but not on your 2014 Grand Cherokee. You will also need a base plate kit # RM-521440-5, tow bar # e74ZR (includes safety cables), and possibly a high-low adapter to complete your setup. If you use the etrailer tow bar it has a built-in rise/drop of 1-1/2" so an adapter may not be necessary. I went ahead and attached a help article below...

    If you want a permanently installed flat tow braking setup for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee and your tow vehicle has air brakes the Air Force One kit part # SM99243 is the way to go. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee as well.

  • What do I Need to flat Tow a 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a Motorhome
    To flat tow a 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee there are 5 major components needed: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. The base plates are what attach to the front of the Jeep and provide a safe and proper attachment point for the tow bar. For the 2011 to 2013 Grand Cherokee I recommend Roadmaster EZ5 base plates # RM-521440-5. These base plates feature removable arms that, when removed, makes the base plates almost invisible.

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate for Chevy Colorado Fit Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Hey Mike, so base plate kit fits are very specific and they can't be swapped between different vehicles. It's pretty rare a base plate fit lasts more than a few years for a vehicle since they are so specific and custom fit. So for a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee you'd need the correct Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-521440-5.

    If your 2021 Jeep grand Cherokee has 4WD with a 2-speed transfer case then you can flat tow it with all four wheels on the ground.

I have the following recommendations for you below: Tow Bar: Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522.

  • Is A Battery Charge Line Kit Required When Flat Towing A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Yes, I highly recommend using a battery charge line kit while flat towing your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Depending on the braking system you use you'll be pulling power directly from the vehicle battery and wouldn't want to run the risk of it depleting the battery while you're towing and then have the breaking system turn off or get to your destination and unhook your Jeep only to find the battery is too low to start. If you aren't using a Brake Buddy System like the # HM39524 or # HM39530...

    No, the tow hooks come off no matter what brand of base plate you use. This is extremely common amongst SUVs and trucks with flat towing set ups. That's a solid anchor point and attaching a base plate there hides it extremely well. Here are the parts I recommend you use to set up a 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 to be flat towed: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643 Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable...
