If you want a clean look when you’re not towing, this setup keeps things tidy. The partially hidden bracket design sits far back on the frame, so once the removable drawbars are out, the remaining mounts are almost invisible. They stay tucked behind the grille where they’re protected from scrapes and scuffs, keeping your vehicle’s front end looking sharp.
Getting hitched up is simple thanks to Roadmaster’s twist-lock system. Just insert the arms into the brackets, twist until they click, and you’re locked in. When it’s time to disconnect, pull the built-in rings and twist again to remove them. It’s an easy, repeatable process that makes setting up or breaking down your towing setup fast and frustration-free.
The computer-cut, all-steel build gives this base plate kit solid strength for long-distance travel. It bolts directly to the frame for secure load transfer and no welding is required. The black powder coat finish helps resist corrosion through miles of road grime and weather, so you can count on it to stay durable trip after trip.
This kit includes mounting points for an electrical connector plug or bracket (sold separately), so wiring stays neat and ready to connect. It’s also compatible with Roadmaster tow bars when used with the quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00, sold separately), making it easy to integrate into an existing towing system without cluttering up the front end.

Easy to install and fit perfect
worked well
Easy install.
Nicky was very helpful to get me the right part and delivered to my house.
Not difficult to install and works well
Installed these on a 2011 Cadillac SRX. No problems with them, they work great.
Fast shipping great customer service
Perfect fit. Great instructions.
great shipping ...great instructions ...quality product!!!
Requires some minor modification to your SRX, but once installed there is very little visible indication that they're there when not towing. Etrailer ships fast!
Easy to install if you are mechanically gifted. Clear instructions and all the hardware was there. Towing my Cadillac is a breeze. Good product. I highly recommend it.
DYI no problem with this item. Some knowledge of how to work a good toolbox and your good to go. Fit was perfect. Should give us thousands of miles towing the SRX behind out Fleetwood Bounder 34 H.
Easy installation and simple quick disconnect feature is very handy.
Base plate was exactly as described and fit very well. Also very fast shipping. Thanks etrailer.
installed brackets yesterday and connected tow bar. went for a spin around the block and everything was fine. only took 4.5 hours
I called looking for a base plate that would fit my Ready Brute towbar and Cadillac SRX. After speaking to Rose I had her order both a base plate and adapter bar.
They both installed perfectly. Quality is top of the line, too.
I especially like the fact that the drawbars are removable, leaving a totally clean appearance.
I was hesitant because you have to extend the power steering cooler lines but that task turned out to be extremely easy.
I rate the product, installation and customer service a 10! Highly recommend!
Very sturdy product. It has been redesigned since I purchased my last one. The spring pin latch is nice. Unfortunately the cable connection “eye” protrudes more than I anticipated. Make it easier to connect the safety cable but is more visible.
THE SALES PEOPLE @ ETRAILE ARE GREAT TO WORK WITH. THE SUPPORT I NEEDED TO INSTALL THE BASE PLATES WAS OUTSTANDING. THANK YOU, DOUG.

Doug, just purchased a 2014 Cadillac srx 4 looking for base plates which you have. Now I have a roadmaster falcon tow bar that I tow my jeep wrangler with, will I have to change anything besides the new base plates to tow the SRX ???

You would not even know that the car was behind our motorhome. I am very pleased with the help I received. Thank you, Doug.
etrailer installation video made this baseplate rather easy to install for the particular model car we use it on. Along with the printed installation manual, installation was easy to figure out.
NOTE: the torque values listed in the manual for the bolts that attach the baseplate to the chassis must not be correct for all applications. My application said to re-use the existing bolts, but they are not a regular steel bolt. The first bolt twisted right off trying to use the recommended torque. I used normal tightening torque (50-60 Lbs) for the remainder of this part of the install and the base plate has been working great with over 30K miles of use.
I purchased this Base Plate kit for my 2016 Cadillac SRX & installed the kit myself. etrailer sales person Shawn B. was very helpful with the order process & had it shipped direct to me from the manufacturer which saved time. The installation is not difficult except for the alignment of the base plates to fit through the grille. I had to loosen the plates & drill new holes to make the plates align with the grille openings.

Working very well
I would have given this product a 5 but there were a few minor adjustments needed. Over all it was an easy install which I did myself. My wife was satisfied with it because it was her car being towed. We were finally able to use it and everything worked great, very easy hook up and release. I would recommend this setup for anyone towing up to 8000 lbs.
