Most Popular Fits Roadmaster Base Plates - Crossbar for 2007 Ford Focus

Easy to assemble and connect. Easy to disconnect and stow. Not a good idea to disconnect on an incline; that is, when the toad is inclined uphill. The release buttons are impossible, and some one else would need to start the engine, engage the xmsn and gently move forward enough to operate the release buttons. Not a good idea! If level or inclined downward slightly; works fine. The tow bar stows vertically, if so desired, which I do. I wrap the the whole unit in a water proof canvas to keep water out. I have towed 7,500 miles. No problems, once I sorted out what to do and not do!

The install on my Ford Maverick is clean and functional, so this is more of a customer service review... excellent customer service! During the 4-day towing set-up install, the forecast was for freezing temps and my rig was not winterized. I called in mid panic and the motorhome was moved indoors. A few months after using the tow set-up, a minor problem developed. I called and the CSR apologized and said, I can see how that might be frustrating, and a replacement cable (slightly longer) was sent free of charge.

What sold me before buying the EZ5 base plate and SMI supplemental braking system were the on line, step by step, video instructions. With little background experience I was confident that I could install these parts on my own on our 2016 Ford Focus. Also purchased the Falcon 2 tow bar and a wiring kit. Everything exceeded my expectations !!

Awesome hitch! Fills up easily and nicely. Easy to operate and not terribly heavy to handle if you need to store it.

I purchased the tow bar and base plate so we could flat tow our 2017 Ford focus. I was able to install the base plate myself in about 3 days only because I took my time. Hooking up to our Motorhome is easy and we don't have any problems with the car going down the road. When we get another vehicle I will get another Roadmaster Base Plate.

Quick "free" ship (24 hours), easy install (once substrate work on vehicle completed, only takes 10 minutes), quality appears excellent. Still need "hitch up" restraint, safety cables and wiring harness.

The adjustable arms make this tow bar simple to hook up and disconnect. I can pull up behind our RV and hook up in about 3 minuets (including the wiring for our break buddy and putting the transfer in neutral). Disconnecting and stowing the bar is even faster. Although is tow bar is locked to the baseplate and folds flat it is so easy to remove I end up taking it off and putting it in the back when we will not be towing.

I was slightly nervous that this would be difficult to take on and off if I wasn't on flat ground. So for I have not had any issues and I really like that it hooks up to a 2 inch ball. My jeep has a lift on it and getting things level was easy with and adjustable height mount.

Nice, solid product. Easy to install and remove. Sliding action is very smooth, easy to extend and fold. My hitch coupler is slightly different design than shown but seems very heavy duty.

Very easy to use and handled as well as I expected.

One word. Fabulous! The SD tow bar is a superior product. I don't want to say bad things about the most popular tow bar out there, but etrailer SD is just better engineering. Watch the video for the product. My Roadmaster base plate was installed by Dave C. Of [company] with great expertise. See the pics

Having used Roadmaster products for years imagine my surprise when after using my new hitch for only a month the right arm came apart while towing my car. I happened to be looking at it and was able to coast to a stop during a slight uphill grade which prevented my car from any further damage. As it turned out the bolts which hold the arms on had fallen out. Why I don’t know. I was able to use a temporary pin in the slot which allowed me to get to a hardware store where I replaced ALL the bolts holding both arms with grade 8 bolts and nylon locking nuts. The arm slid on the road, ground down a small corner and scuffed the paint but did not compromise the integrity of the hitch. The design works flawlessly even if the quality control could use some closer monitoring. All in all it’s still a great product. As you can see from the photos I doubled up the nylon locking nuts and have had no problems since.
