Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-524441-5

  • 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 a 2018 Ford Fiesta be Flat Towed by a Ford F-150
    You definitely can use a pickup to tow your 2018 Ford Fiesta as long as the Fiesta doesn't exceed the weight ratings of the pickup or the trailer hitch. I am not sure what year Ford F-150 you are wanting to use but if you look in your owner's manual it will tell you the max weight rating for your pickup. A 2018 Fiesta should weigh somewhere between 2,500 lbs - 2,800 lbs though so your F-150 should have an easy time towing it. The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524441-5 does...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Base Plate for Manual Transmission 2017 Ford Fiesta
    The base plate I'd recommend depends on how the car's equpped. If it's a 1.0 or 1.6 Turbo ST, SFE or EcoBoost, then I'd go with the # 524441-5. For everything else except the ST, EcoBoost and models with the SFE package, use # 524438-5. You'll also need a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring solution, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/Low adapter. If you'd like some specific recommendations about the other equipment, let me know and I'd be glad to help.
