When you want your setup to look clean when you’re not towing, this base plate kit keeps things neat. The direct-connect brackets sit even farther back than standard ones, leaving the front end with a streamlined, factory-style appearance. Once the removable arms are pulled out, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and protected within the grille area from scrapes and scuffs.
Getting ready to tow is fast and straightforward. Each drawbar slides into the bracket, twists to lock in place, and clicks securely. When you’re done towing, built-in pull rings let you unlock the arms with a quick tug, twist them free, and pull them out. The simple twist-lock attachment makes solo hookups easier and keeps everything tight and rattle-free on the road.
This setup’s computer-cut, all-steel brackets are built for strength and precision fitment. The black powder coat finish adds a durable layer of corrosion resistance for dependable performance through miles of towing. It attaches directly to your vehicle’s frame so the load is evenly distributed without welding, giving confidence for long hauls behind your motorhome.
The direct-connect design eliminates the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar, keeping your tow bar connection simple and clean. It’s compatible with Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2—so you get a solid one-piece link between the coach and towed vehicle. Instructions and mounting hardware come included for an accurate fit that’s ready to go once installed.

Very fast shipping, and the install was easy. Great product
Easy to install needed to replace some fasteners as they broke removing front grill was able to get them from Amazon cheap
This Road Master Direct connect base plate works perfectly for a 2020 ford transit cargo 250! Awesome service from etrailer as usual! The finished product can barely be seen through the front fascia!
I bought and installed this tow plate one year ago on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. I bought this particular plate due to the jeep having a Barricade off-road bumper. This plate attaches a bit lower than other plates and prevented having to modify the bumper. Installation was easy involving only hand tools. The plate comes with all needed bolts and attachments. I have towed this Jeep several thousand miles behind my RV with absolutely no issues. As an aside, I use a Roadmaster Night Hawk tow bar which is also an excellent product. Both are expensive, but I believe cheaping-out on safety is no a good idea. I highly recommend this product.
This works perfect with my Roadmaster tow bar. It was a little difficult to install since I had to remove the front end of the Trailblazer, but with the good directions that came with it and some you tube videos made the installation easier.
Pathetic and just talking to Noah he states he will get to my issue later when he has time!! My car is on jacks all torn apart and I think Roadmaster gas misled advertising. This 523228-5 baseplate is NOT MADE FOR 2026 CHEVY TRAX!!!
Had these installed at Lester’s Automotive in Boerne,Texas…First class service all the way. Paul and his crew worked through lunch for over 4 hours to install these on our 2026 Ford Ranger. Also ran the wire and hooked up my auxiliary tow lights. The price for this was very reasonable and would highly recommend them for all r.v. needs even if not real close to the Boerne area. R.V park within reasonable distance if needed.
Etrailer comes through again! This was a great savings as a used kit, but it was even better than the description online. I have installed (4) baseplates on and etrailer.com has given me great videos to watch and good instructions to follow. Couldn't be more pleased with the quality, service and delivery times.
Fast delivery.
Works
perfect fit no issues
One year down and still works perfectly.
Fast shipping and very heavy duty mater ials.
Another quality Base Plate from Roadmaster. Less expensive than competitors . Works great. Pulls my ‘23 GMC Canyon perfectly. I also bought the rubber caps to close the holes when not towing
Great fit, plenty strong, simple install once you remove the bumper
Works as advertised! Linked video for GMC Canyon install was great
Perfect fit for my 2024 GMC Canyon AT4. Took about 4 hours and a lot of patients.
