On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs, as well.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Is Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for 2020 Ford Escape Available without Removable Arms
    The Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # RM59FR cannot be purchased without the removable arms. The arms of each base plate kit are all slightly different. Even to the point that two sets of identical base plate kit part numbers may have arms dimensions that are slightly different. It sounds like you have a set of arms from a different base plat kit and are wanting to use them with the # RM59FR but for the reasons I mentioned that is not possible.

  • Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for Use with 2022 Ford Escape PHEV
    Hey Mike, the correct Roadmaster base plate kit for your 2022 Ford Escape PHEV is the Roadmaster base plate part # RM59FR which will work great with the Blackhawk 2 part # RM-427. 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 vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on...

  • Why Can't the Roadmaster EZ-5 Base Plate Kit Work with a Hitch Ball Style Tow Bar
    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM39FR for your 2022 Ford Escape cannot be used with a tow bar that attaches to a hitch ball like the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501 because it cannot use or accommodate a Roadmaster crossbar, which is needed to use that style of tow bar. If you already have that kind of tow bar, you would want to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM59FR.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Ford Escape
    The two part numbers you mentioned are the exact same thing. So if you ordered the # RM59FR you'd get exactly the base plate kit you'd need for your 2020 Ford Escape. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety...
