If you want your setup to keep a clean look when you’re not towing, this base plate kit makes that happen. The hidden design eliminates the need for an obtrusive quick-disconnect crossbar, and the brackets sit farther back than standard ones, leaving the front end with a factory-style appearance. Once the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible—tucked within the grille where they stay protected from scrapes and scuffs.
Getting connected takes almost no effort. Each arm simply clicks into place in the bracket with a twist to lock, and built-in pull rings let you unlock and remove them in seconds when you’re done. The direct-connect design pairs only with Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2, so everything lines up smoothly without a hitch ball or extra crossbar to handle.
Roadmaster builds these brackets from computer-cut, all-steel components for exceptional strength and long-term reliability. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and road wear, keeping the hardware solid through thousands of miles of towing. It installs directly on the frame with no welding required, so you get a sturdy connection that spreads towing forces evenly through the chassis.
Each kit comes custom-fit for your vehicle and includes clear instructions and mounting hardware to keep setup simple. The streamlined design bolts up without welding and is ready to pair with your Roadmaster tow bar right out of the box. Once installed, you’ll have a secure and durable base plate system designed for years of confident flat towing.

Sorry about that, Terry. I am having this removed as a fit for the 2026 Trailblazer RS so we don't have anyone else deal with the issues you ran into. I will also be sending you a pre-paid return label (to the email address we have on file) and we will get you a full credit back for this. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this caused.

I’ve pulled the Chevy behind our motor home several times over a the last year. It has worked excellent. And when not in tow the tubing is barely noticeable.

Wow great job Crystal! It looks great! Also, I couldn’t help but notice “Ski Express” on the car, that’s pretty cool. What kind of work do you do?

Which trim is your 2026 Chevy Trax? Per Roadmaster, the # RM25EQ (523228-5) fits all trims of the 2026 Trax except the ACTIV trim....

It’s been a great year. No problems with the base plate. Works great with my tow bar. Towed my trailblazer from Texas to North Dakota and back, and several short trips.

Install for the base plate looks awesome, Joe! Unsure if you have a wiring kit yet but there are a few options so I'll go ahead share them with you here in case you don't yet. The most popular kit would be part # RM-15267. This can be difficult to install but it is the most reliable. I've also linked an install video for this kit. Something that still has an integrated look but easier to install I would go with part # RM-155. You do have to drill some holes into the back of the light housing, so if you're okay with doing that, this may be the better kit. Also included an install video for that kit as well. Hopefully the videos will help you get a good idea of how to run the wiring for your lights. Let me know if you have any questions after watching!
