Shane: Hi I'm Shane with etrailer.com. Today we're going to be taking a look at the Road master 68 inch coiled safety cables for your flat tow set up on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.This is going to be one of the five main components for a flat tow set up. These are going to be a secondary safety device in case your tow bar fails. The other four are going to be your tow bar, which is going to give you that solid connection point between your RV and your base plate on your towed vehicle or on your Jeep Grand Cherokee.Your wiring, which is going to allow your Jeep Grand Cherokee to receive light functions from your RV, so not only are you safe while you're flat towing your vehicle, but other drivers are safe because they're going to know what you're doing, whether you're braking, making a turn or driving at night.Braking system, which is going to be required in any vehicle that is flat towed. It's going to mount inside the vehicle and it's going to allow the Jeep Grand Cherokee to not only slow but stop itself so we're not overly 00:00:53 relying on the RV to slow and stop both vehicles.And then your base plate. Your base plate is going to attach to the chassis of the vehicle and it's going to give you a solid connection point for your tow bar.Now to go over a few more finer details on our safety cables.
Again these are going to be 68 or these are going to spread out to up 68 inches. We're going to have a quick link at one end. You can lock it right onto your tow bar or I'm sorry your hitch on your RV.Lock it into place. And you can just leave them connected. Once you disconnect this side from your vehicle, you hook it on to the other side and you can leave them connected on your RV if you want to.What we see is a lot of times because they're steel cables, if they're not coated they tend to rust.
The good thing about these, these are going to have a nice thick vinyl coating. So we're not going to have to worry about the weather corroding that steel cable over time.It's going to hold up really, really well. On this end, this is going to make an easy quick connection and disconnection from our base plate on our towed vehicle. We're going to have a locking tab here for a hook. It's going to be spring loaded.So we simply you know stick it over and it's going to lock into place right onto our safety chain loops.
One thing I do want to mention is when ordering safety cables you want to make sure that you're going to have enough room or you have enough length between your base plate and between the hitch on your RV.Depending on which tow bar you have some of them the arms may extend out a little bit longer. So you just want to make sure your cables are going to be long enough so that when you're turning corners and stuff like that you're not overstretching this cable.Again I'm Shane with etrailer.com. I hope this video's helped you whether you're still deciding or installing the Road master 68 inch safety cables on your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

I ordered a Falcon II tow bar, Base plate for a GMC Canyon, Demco Stay-n-play braking system and safety cables. worked exactly as it should, directions were easy to follow. All hardware was included. This system allowed us to tow our Canyon 10K miles around the country. super easy to use and I was able to connect and disconnect in less than 5 min. I liked the system enough that I bought the same setup for our new vehicle.
I wont replace them anytime soon, but I wont get the same thing again. Having to pull against the coils in the to hook up the cables negates the fact that the tension keeps them off of the ground. It is at least as easy to put a few twists in a traditional chain and get the same results without the tug of war and extra expense. Beside that, my tow bar has channels on each arm that I could run a none coiled cable through if I wanted to go that route. With just a little more than 1,000 miles on them, there is already abrasion on the plastic coating. As I write this, I am thinking maybe I will return them - better check into the policy.
Kim - 10/03/2020I gave each and every one of the items I purchased a 5star rating because they each have contributed greatly to my confidence and sense of security about full-time RVing in my Class C rv towing my little car behind. Each product has been well made and thought out and the service from etrailer has been great....from price to shipping and packaging. I couldn't be more pleased with everything. Job well done. Thank you.
I have used these constantly this past year and am well pleased. Mine have become a little "dinged up" so I will look to replace them, but only for cosmetic reasons.
John M - 06/30/2021Ordered to replace my old safety cables on my toad. Fast delivery as always.
Work great with the Roadmaster StowMaster tow bar.
Purchased these to replace a single coiled cable on my boat trailer, which was too short after a new surge brake tongue was installed. Note, these are rated 6000 pounds for the pair.
They are nice strong cables, however, just yesterday when we went to unscrew them from them vehicle, one became misthreaded and now we are unable to remove it. We will now have to wait to attempt removal after we return home. I am unsure has that happened. Up to then, they worked very well and are strong, well made cables.
Tyler M - 02/23/2021Excellent service. Cables perfect and as described.
Installed on 2019 Jeep Trailhawk for Duo brake system so it was part of the completing that process that included the DUO. Installed Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate, Duo Brake systems to be used with Falcon All Terrain- The system has been great so far after one year in service. The total install for everything probably took me 25-30 hours, working on it over several days. Removal of brand Jeep quarter panel and front end grill was a little nerve wreaking, but easy install on tow plates. The brake and electrical work used the other 60% of the time on this job. I would consider myself to have intermediate skills for automotive repair activity. The slicing of the various electrical brake light system wires was a little challenging to due access in the front end and rear brake light housing. The video's from etrailer.com was very helpful in completing the process from start to finish ( although I had to watch it a number of times as I completed each portion of the install) Note - The jeep brake light wiring will be connected to a plug in receptacle installed at the front of the jeep. Where the coil wire from the RV that plugs into this installed receptacle can become loose from plugging /unpluging the coil wire. The pins can be pushed back thru that rubber housing easily if extreme caution isn't used each time and over time can loose contact with the coil connector. They should improve the plastic sheath that covers the backside of the pins in that receptacle so they cannot be pushed thru the back side.
Quality product. Has worked as advertised. etrailer service is second to none.
etrailer is the best to work with, I needed a couple items after installing a baseplate, and they could not be more helpful! One call, easy order, quick ship. Thank you!
Good quality, easy to use. Would prefer snap hooks on both ends, but minor detail!
Just the security I need towing my Jeep down the road behind my motorhome!
etrailer.com has been added to my favorites bar. I can't say enough about the customer service. Quality parts at a reasonable price. in this year of uncertainty, have comfort in knowing, etrailer will come through for you.
Good product
Roadmaster was real slow with the delivery of the seat adapter. But Michael kept me informed all the way through to the delivery. etrailer is 5 stars all the way from start to finish. I look forward to using them in my orders to follow. Now for ROADMASTER products RM-643 safety cables quality is good work fine Delivery was fast RM-9160 brake master system Love this system instructions were easy to follow RM-15267 toad tail light/brake wiring good instructions for install RM-1550-1 base plate good instructions for install except you need to drill two 1/2'' holes you must measure and mark as there is no pilot hole. The whole system works great with the 2008 Honda Pilot RM-88189 seat adapter I have yet to install as I had to make up my own for the trip. I will say the seat adapter bracket is made just for the Honda and Acura, they had to make custom make. Thanks to all the car towed great for my first trip of 1,100 miles
The spring clups that hold the hook in place is showing signs of failure. Also not because of the reason above but some how one cable was destroyed during my last tow and a new set had to be purchased.
Never had to test them out fortunately.
I have never been involved with this type of application prior in my life until now. I received the shipment as scheduled. Everything I ordered came to me within a two days of each other. The packing of the equipment was well conducted. The instructions were well received and clearly understood. The modification instruction for my vehicle, for this install was appreciated due to I did not want anymore alterations than necessary. The equipment easily went together as planned which was greatly appreciate due to the fact I was installing this in -20 degree weather. After the install it I hooked up my truck to a Uhaul truck and pulled it over 1200 miles from Wisconsin to Texas and found the reliability to be as stated by the manufacturer. I would never hesitate to use it again or purchase similar products from etrailer.
Strong, good lookibg and easy to use.
Works as described.
Excellent products. Very strong
like these better than the straight cables. For my needs they store better and stay out of the way, off of the ground and give/stretch where and when they need to.
Carl - 06/10/2020I purchased a Blue Ox base plate, Air Force One braking system, and a light kit for my 2013 Durango. I could have not asked for an easier process with selecting and ordering, also the tutorials and videos were a great help in determining what was the best system for me . Everything arrived as planned and in great condition. This is not my first time using etrailer.com and my prior experience was equally good.
