• Flat Towing Setup Recommendation For A 2022 Buick Encore GX
  For your 2022 Buick Encore GX, you're going to need a high low adapter, a base plate, a tow bar, wiring a braking system, and safety cables. Let's start with a base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM32FR. This base plate creates a clean design when not in use and allow for quick connection and disconnection. Next, you'll need a tow bar. For this, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520. This tow bar is capable of handling up to 6,000lbs, which is...

• Can I Reverse the Shank on the Benton LittleShift Bike Rack for 1 Bike so I can Get More Clearance?
  Hello Mike, I’m sorry, but you cannot mount the shank upside down on the Benton LittleShift Bike Rack for 1 Bike - 2" Hitches - Wheel or Frame Mount # B54VR. If you’d like to lower the rack for more clearance, I recommend using the Patriot Hitches Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter - 2" Hitches - 11" Rise/Drop - 7K # PH54FR. This will give you the extra clearance you need. A more cost-effective alternative would be the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter # RM-070, which provides a 4" drop...

• High-Low Adapter for 2026 Entegra Odyssey SE 22C Towing 2025 Ford Maverick
  Hey John, welcome back! For a flat towing setup you want to be +/- 3" of level which is considered the safe zone. If you want to use a Roadmaster the # RM-070 with a 4" rise/drop you looked at will work just fine. If you want to get it a little closer the etrailer High-Low Adjustable Adapter for Tow Bars # e52ZV gets the closest to 5". It won't be right at 5 since the holes are 1-1/4" apart but you'll only be off 1/4".

• Looking For Rims For 30 Year Old Utility Trailer
  Hey Ron, thanks for reaching out. I can tell you right off the bat that there are no wheels available that match you specs. All of our 15" wheels will have either a 3.19" pilot hole with a 5 lug pattern, or a 4.25" pilot hole with 6 lug pattern. The 5 lug wheels will be either 5 on 4-1/2", or 5 on 5". Then the 6 lug wheels are all 6 on 5-1/5". A 4-1/8" bolt pattern is not something commonly used for trailers. A lot of older trailers use parts that are now obsolete, and it sounds like...

• Parts Needed To Flat Tow A 2022 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  The Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522 that we offer doesn't come with safety cables included so I don't know the exact length that you have, but we tend you usually need to add on quick links, like part # 37201345, whenever a high/low adapter is used. These quick links are approximately 4" in length to help bridge the gap left by the # RM-070. Without having the baseplate installed and the motorhome nearby to measure the hitch height it can be a total guess whether or not an adapter...

• Kuat Sherpa Bike Rack Partially Melted from Exhaust When Folded
  You could use an adapter like the Roadmaster # RM-070 to achieve a 4 inch rise, which would work pretty well for you. Keep in mind that using an extender/adapter like this will lower the tongue weight capacity of the hitch by 50% due to the fact that the adapter would move the load further away from the vehicle and exert additional leverage on the hitch and its attachment points to the vehicle.

• Are Roadmaster or Blue Ox Base Plates Easier to Install on 2011 Honda CR-V
  Between the base plates that fit your 2011 Honda CR-V, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2246 and Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521559-5, I recommend the Roadmaster as it will be the slightly easier installation. The reason for that is the Roadmaster does not require having to saw off part of the bumper core in order to install the base plates, which the Blue Ox does require. That is the major difference between the two installs so if it were my 2011 Honda CR-V I would definitely...

• Which High/Low Adapter for Flat Towing Lifted Jeep
  You'll need a high/low adapter to bring the tow bar within 3 inches +/- of level. The adapter you need will depend on the height difference between the base plates and the receiver on the motorhome/tow vehicle. Roadmaster offers several different adapters: • For a 2 inch rise/drop, use # RM-072-2 • For a 4 inch rise/drop, use # RM-070 • For a 6 inch rise/drop, use # RM-048-6 • For a 8 inch rise/drop, use # RM-048-8 • For a 10-1/4 inch rise/drop, use # RM-048-10 I've linked to an article...

• Recommended Adapter for Ground Clearance of Bike Rack
  The Curt Dual 2" Receiver Tube Adapter, 8" Extension # D-192 will work well to give you the extra height you desire but using any adapter will reduce your hitch tongue weight by 50%. This won't be an issue with a Curt Class III hitch is you just use your Ridgeback # Y02457. A similar option for more height is the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 but it will also extend the length of the hitch 2-1/2 more inches than the # D-192. This will probably result in the adapter...

• Do Snow Plow Mounts on 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 Need to be Removed to Add Base Plates
  In order to flat tow your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 you will need to remove the snowplow mounts to install base plates, as plow mounts are not designed or tested to withstand flat towing. You can use your Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar # RM-501, though you will need the crossbar-style base plates from Roadmaster with this tow bar. Along with the base plates, here are the other parts you'll need to flat tow your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base...

• Tongue Weight Capacity of RoadMaster High-Low Drop Adapter # RM-070
  When you have all 4 wheels of the toad on the ground, the tongue weight is next to nothing. The 200 pound rating does account for sudden but brief increases in tongue weight such as bumps in the road. The idea of using a high-low adapter like # RM-070 is so that the tow bar is level. A level tow bar means the tongue weight will be low.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
  I took a look at the online owner's manual for a 2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, and it what it said was that only rear-wheel drive options can be flat towed, and if going over 35 mph and/or 50 miles in distance, to do this you must disconnect the driveshaft. Having said that, I highly recommend checking with Ford to see if anything has changed since the owner's manual was released to verify any type of compatibility as they would be the ones with the final say. If you do find that your...

• Ball Mount For A Trailer That Has 4 Of Rise
  Since high-low adapters, like the Roadmaster High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # RM-070 cannot be used to tow a trailer, I recommend getting a different ball mount to compensate for the needed 4" of rise. You can use the Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # D-28, which offers 4" of rise, and 6" of drop, measures 14-1/4" long, and has a maximum weight capacity of 6,000-lbs.

• Hitch Extension Recommendation for Clearing Spare Tire of 2012 Jeep Wrangler with Bike Rack
  Since your 2012 Jeep Wrangler would have a 2 inch hitch the adapter you'd want is the Roadmaster part # RM-070 instead as the one you mentioned is for a 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch. Then for a locking anti-rattle device we have the Anti-Rattle Device part # 63232 which would work well. It's a lock that holds the shank of the adapter tight to the hitch tube to prevent movement.

• Does Battery Need to be Disconnected to Flat Tow 2016 GMC Canyon
  When it comes to flat towing your 2016 GMC Canyon, you do have to disconnect the battery. We have to abide by what the owner's manual says, which is to ensure the steering column is unlocked and to keep the ignition key in the ACC (accessory) position. We don't have any way of knowing what might happen if you remove the steering lock and cannot recommend it. For specific instructions on this you can refer to your owner's manual; it was on page 327 of the online manual I took a look at. In...
