Roadmaster's EZ Twistlock series brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.
Features:
The drawbars, or front arms, on the EZ series 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, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. 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.

Installed on 2011 Ford Edge Limited AWD. Installation video helped a lot.
The Roadmaster base plate arrived on time and in good condition just as Melissa said. It appears to be as advertised. Will know better when I get it installed. The instructions seem to be clear and easy to understand. All attaching hardware is present and new.
Etrailer is a excellent website to view and purchase from. I recommend it.
Everything went smoothly with my order and arrived within the expected time frame. Great experience and will use your service again.
This is a very nicely made tow-bar base which was somewhat easy to install. Of course the instructions that came with the base was extremely helpful.
Prepared my vehicle for the base plate. The base plate has a manufacturing defect in that the crossbar is approximately.375 inches short. The hole pattern matched on one side but the other side would not line up with the vehicle holes. The mounting plate overlapped the mounting holes by 1/3rd. Clearly, the assembly was short. I find my disassembled vehicle sitting for a week waiting for the replacement to arrive. Hopefully, Roadmaster QC did a better job on the new base plate assembly that I am waiting for.
This reasonably priced base plate kit was professionally installed on a coupe that was pulled around the New England states for two months. The kit and the car made it possible to see many sites along the route that would have been bypassed without the toad. The kit is solid and provides secure tow-ability.
Installed myself with a help of a friend it’s easier with two people took about 31/2 hours instruction were a little off. my car was an SS which was a little differentt so you had to figure a couple things out
Make sure you order the fish cables to help you pull bolts through
I received the base plate for my Miata at 4:30 Monday by 7:00 it was installed and ready to go.A great product fit very nicely.Ordering and follow up went great can’t wait to try it out Just need to decide on the tow bar we will use.The Falcon or Sterling .Thank you for a great product and service.
2007 MX5
The build quality was good....welds were well done....paint was good
Instructions were pretty thorough.
Lots of trimming away of the splash shield for this install!!
Oh well...no choice I guess.
Very heavy duty. Much more than needed for my application but better more than less.
Heavy duty also means heavy in weight. Not easy to lift and move.
I was having problems with the bracket that was on the car when I bought it and when it no longer felt safe to me, I looked on your website for a replacement. Lo and behold, this product appeared to be better designed and an easier installation. Putting 8t on today proved that. I am very happy with the product and your service. Thank you very much!
my baseplate was delivered on time and in great shape.
Great installation instructions and video. Was an interesting and fun project installing in our Mini-Cooper
Purchased the towing adapter for my GMC Terrain a few week ago, received it on time & boxed not damaged. Watched the videos’ about three time on how to do it myself and started one evening and finished it the next morning about three hours with Beer Breaks, LoL. All the parts fix perfectly, had no problems with any of the parts, Product is real sturdy and if you don’t know where to look at the bumper you will not see the hide away receiver brackets. Very nice product, do it yourself and save
Up loading two photos if it will let me one is with hide away brackets installed and the other one you can see is my complete tow bar attached to the hide away brackets
Roadmaster base plate for 2010 GMC Terrain. Very detailed instructions, great videos. Product was as described, no holes to drill, just replace factory parts with Roadmaster parts. Everything went together very well. I used the instructions supplied along with the video on my laptop. Hardest part was popping the bumper shroud back on due to colder temperature. I have a fair bit of experience with rebuilding classic cars so have lots tools and reasonable mechanical ability.
Installed on 2014 GMC Acadia. Very sturdy and heavy duty base plate. I installed it myself. You will need a little automotive knowledge and more tools then the average do it yourself-er. It took about 6 hours, by myself. It looks more intimidating then it turned out to be. You can't see it when not in use which makes it nice for the wife, since it's her car.
Pictures show the tow bar adapter. Sorry, no pictures of adapter removed.
Great customer service, fair price for a quality product. Would use etrailer again and recommend them if you are considering one of their products.
Have had no problems with this base plate fit my smart car perfectly q. Would recommend to all
Whoever designed this base plate has probably never seen a Saturn car let alone taken one apart to install the base plate. The instructions has one picture, that doesn't show how any of it is supposed to fit on the vehicle and it implies that you only need to remove the bumper to install. After hours of fumbling with the base plate, I ended up having to remove the bumper cover, bumper, headlights, headlight brackets, and fenders. On top of that, I had to drill four 3/4" holes.
Videos and directions are very clear and easy to follow. Install went smooth and everything lined up like it should. I would recommend this to anyone.
Parts came very quickly. The base plates are really well make and of heavy material. If you watch the video it is a breeze to install. Make sure you have some new clips for your bumper as the old ones will break, not all but some. I ordered clips from Amazon. I used a vibrating saw with cutting blade and it did nice job cutting plastic bumper cover.
Was easy to install and instructions were accurate and clear for my Traverse. Very pleased with this product.
Overall good product. Installation was not difficult. Replacement "skid plate" is a bit thin for my liking but if your not doing any rock crawling it will be fine.;)
I place m’y order and received it as plan .Plus amazing follows till I removed all my parts
The Roadmaster base Plate kit does what it was designed to do. A difficult install as the Smart ForTwo did not lend itself to an easy base plate engineering design.
Installed it myself though with help from the instructions and etrailer on line instructions. I like the finished base plate. It is barely visible protruding only slightly from the black lower radiator grill (see photo)
