This base plate keeps the front of your vehicle looking stock when the tow arms are off. The brackets mount to the frame and sit farther back than standard designs, so there’s no bulky crossbar or visible steel hanging out front. Once the removable drawbars are pulled and twisted free, the remaining hardware is barely noticeable behind the grille and protected from scuffs or road debris.
Connecting takes seconds thanks to the direct-connect system. Each arm slides into the bracket, twists to lock, and clicks securely in place—no crossbar, pins, or extra parts to fumble with. To unhook, just tug the built-in pull ring and twist the arm free. The mechanism keeps alignment easy whether you’re setting up alone or in a tight spot.
This kit bolts directly to the frame with no welding required and spreads towing forces evenly through heavy-gauge steel. The computer-cut brackets and precise welds keep everything aligned mile after mile, while the black powder coat resists chips and corrosion from road grime or weather exposure. Owners trust this setup for long hauls without worrying about flex or fatigue.
The base plate connects directly to motor-home-mounted Roadmaster tow bars like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2—no adapter needed. It’s purpose-built for hitch-mount bars that slide into a trailer hitch and stays rock solid through thousands of towing miles.
You don’t need specialized equipment to mount this base plate. It installs on the vehicle’s frame using standard hand tools, and all necessary hardware and instructions are included. The process is simple enough for a weekend project—just line it up, bolt it in place, and you’ll be ready to tow with confidence.

After a year i have had no problems. I like the twist mounts for the pins it makes them easier to remove and store when not in use.

In the instructions it mentions that sometimes the outer frame rail will have no holes. I would hold the baseplate up and mark the area needed for the hole to be drilled.

Its been a year and many miles sense I installed my tow system and have had no problems . Did have one of the safety clips fail but thats to be expected when towing in all kinds of weather rain snow mud ice ect. found a little grease on piviot points works wonders. Still completely satisfied.
