  • Hidden bracket design provides improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Drawbars are easily removable - just twist and pull
    • No pins or clips required

The drawbars, or front arms, on the EZ series 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, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. 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 2016 Ram 1500 Automatic be Flat Towed Behind an RV and What Parts are Needed to Do So
    The 2016 Ram 1500 can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground only if it is a 4x4. If you have a 2-wheel drive Ram then it can be towed using a tow dolly with the REAR wheels off the ground. This is in the recreational towing section of the owner's manual, page 711. If you do have a 4x4 then for base plates I recommend # RM-52289-4. And for a compatible tow bar I recommend the 10,000 pound capacity Blackhawk All-Terrain tow bar # RM-422. And for 10,000 pound safety cables I recommend...

  • Is a Tow Bar Based Off of Curb Weight or Gross Vehicle Weight GVW
    The weight capacity of a tow bar will need to be based off of the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of your 2018 Ram 1500 Longhorn not the curb weight. Curb weight does not include any additional cargo or fluids present in the vehicle. What you will want to do to ensure you are within the weight capacity of the tow bar would be to load the vehicle up as you intend to tow it and take it to a commercial truck scale to have it weighed. If the GVW of your truck does not exceed the 6,000 lb capacity...

  • How to Remove the Arms on the Roadmaster EZ Base Plates Once Installed on Vehicle
    To remove the base plate arms for the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, # RM-52289-4, first you just pull the spring loaded pin located on the base plate arms. While pin is pulled, rotate the arm 90-degrees until the arm will slide out of the base plate mount that is installed on your vehicle. To reinstall the arm, push the arm into the mount tube until pin is depressed. Turn the arm 90-degrees until pin snaps and locks arms into place.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set-up for 2017 Ram 1500
    For your 2017 Ram 1500, along with the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-52289-4 I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-520. You will also need safety cables like # RM-645. Then for your wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you a 6-way connection on the front of your truck and will utilize your factory wiring while protecting it using diodes. The coiled...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Ram 1500 Behind an RV with UTB 1000 Supplemental Braking System
    Since you already have a supplemental braking system there are just 4 additional major components you will need to flat tow your 2018 Ram 1500: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, and lighting. For base plates you can use # RM-52289-4. It will work with Big Horn models, Laramie models, and Laramine Longhorn models as well as several other models of the 2018 Ram 1500 including those with the EcoDiesel motor (if that is the type of diesel motor that is in your Ram). For a tow bar you...

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie Limited
    There are two Roadmaster base plate kits that fit your 2017 Ram 1500 but the easier to use option is the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM-52289-5 since it doesn't require the use of the crossbar of your Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Ram 1500 Longhorn
    For your 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # RM-52289-4. These base plates are compatible with your existing Roadmaster 5000 Tow Bar and feature a nice hidden bracket design that will provide improved aesthetics when compared to standard brackets. These are custom designed for your truck to ensure a perfect fit. All of the mounting hardware is included and I have attached the installation instructions for you to check out.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate, Rock Guard and Demco Tow Bar Adapter for 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn
    You can use Roadmaster EZ base plate kit # RM-52289-4 on your 2017 Ram 1500 Big Horn. For a rock guard use part # RM-4000 and for the Demco tow bar adapter you can use part # RM-032.

  • Recommended Flat Tow Wiring And Complete System For 2017 Ram 1500
    For your 2017 Ram 1500, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. This will give you the connection wire to your motorhome, the 6 way on the front of your 2017 Ram 1500 and the diodes that let you connect to your factory wiring while protecting it from overload or feedback. This will give you a much cleaner connection than the # RM-154 and give you a wired supplemental braking option. In case you haven't completed your flat tow setup yet, I will...

  • Recommended base Plates And Adapter For 2015 Ram 1500 To Work With Excali-Bar Tow Bar
    If your Ram 1500 is a Sport or Express model, the base plates I recommend are part # RM-298-1. If your truck is not the Sport, Express, Laramie Limited, or Rebel, the base plates I recommend are part # RM-52289-4. You will then need the adapter # RM-032 that will let you use the base plates with your Excali-bar ll tow bar. The tow bar lighting kit I recommend is part # RM-154. This includes a 4-way connector to attach to your motorhome. The flex-Coil adapter I recommend to install between...

  • Tow Bar for 2017 Ram 1500 and Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit
    I suggest the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K, # RM-422. The hassle-free latches on this hitch-mounted tow bar let you easily release your car, even at a hard angle or on unlevel ground. Stainless steel, telescoping arms and large hookup radius make connecting a snap. This is listed as compatible with all Roadmaster vehicle-specific base plates. Please note the attached link to product review and installation video on 2013 Ram.

  • Is RM-032 Base Plate to Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter Compatible With Roadmaster EZ Base Plates
    The Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox tow bar adapter, part # RM-032 is compatible with all Roadmaster base plates EXCEPT for the MX, MS or EX5 series. Since the Roadmaster # RM-52289-4 you're inquiring about is an EZ series, the # RM-032 adapter will work great for you. In addition to the base plate, adapter and tow bar you'll also need safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed base plate has a height difference...
