Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM-524461-5

  • 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.

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus w/ a 2.7L Engine
    Thanks for the picture! I checked with Roadmaster and since your 2019 Lincoln Nautilus has the 2.7 L engine it is able to be flat towed. The battery must be disconnected while your Lincoln's being towed because if it runs too low it'll automatically shift to park. This step should be covered in your owner's manual in the Manual Park Release section. If you aren't interested in unhooking the cables every time you can install the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect with Switch item # RM-766....

  • Can a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus Be Flat Towed with Pre-Collision Avoidance
    I checked the owner's manual for a 2019 Lincoln Nautilus and only the models with a 2.7 L engine can be flat-towed, not models with a 2.0 L engine. There is no mention of the pre-collision avoidance feature being an issue so you can still flat tow the vehicle if you have this assuming you have the correct engine size. In order to flat-tow this vehicle you'll need a number of different components of which I have attached below. Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524461-5 Roadmaster...
