When you’re not towing, this setup keeps the front end looking clean. The brackets sit far back on the frame so the remaining hardware is barely visible once the drawbars are removed. There’s no quick-disconnect crossbar cluttering up the front, and when the arms come off, everything stays tucked away and protected from scrapes.
Connecting your tow bar is simple thanks to Roadmaster’s direct-connect design. Each arm slides into the bracket, clicks to lock, and releases with a built-in pull ring when you’re ready to unhook. There’s no need for a crossbar or extra pins—the twist-lock feature makes it a one-person job to connect or remove the arms in seconds.
This kit mounts directly to the vehicle’s frame using computer-cut, all-steel parts that give it exceptional strength. The black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance for long-term durability through every season and every mile you tow.
If you already use a Roadmaster tow bar that slides into a trailer hitch—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2—this base plate connects directly without adapters. The standard pin size fits these models securely so you can keep your existing towing gear working together seamlessly.
The kit includes clear instructions and all mounting hardware for a simple bolt-on installation. It attaches right to the frame with basic tools, so you can get it mounted and ready for your next trip without any welding or fabrication work.

This did not fit my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. It was about 1/4 to narrow to fit.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. For a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon with a steel or plastic bumper you would need part # RM-521453-5.

Worked very well pulling the jeep behind the motorhome with no issues from New Jersey to Florida!
I paid a lot of money for this base plate and it would not fit right. Couldn't put my skid plate mounts on. Two spacer pieces came in the kit but were not in the instructions to show how to use them. Very disappointed in Roadmaster. I live in Washington and expected more from a company in our state.

I am sorry to hear that you are having some issues installing this baseplate and that it doesn't seem to be fitting right. We will reach out shortly and help get this resolved.
2022 Gladiator Mojave. Perfect fit. Speedy delivery. Just a note about the great install video. Remove the 10mm nut holding the shock reservoir hose, makes life simpler. The pre-drilled holes in the the base plate bracketry has plenty of room to re-install the bolt and washer after tow bar in place.
4500 miles of flat towing my 2022 Jeep Gladiator JT Mojave through 12 states with no issues. This was the base plate recommended for the Mojave model by eTrailer and it worked perfect. The skid plate needed to be cut, but it did not affect functionality. Great service, good prices, and fast shipping, thank you!
This tow bar works great. In description it says that it does not work with aftermarket bumpers. We mounted it anyways and only had to put two 1/4 inch long notches in our bumper to have it mounted correctly. Has been working great and has noy gotten in our way when using our gladiator off road.
