The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Ford Fiesta SE Behind an RV
    I will be happy to recommend the parts you will need to flat tow your 2016 Ford Fiesta behind your RV. The first item needed will be base plates. The base plates are what will mount to the Fiesta. They provide a safe attachment point for the tow bar. For these I recommend # RM-524438-4. The tow bar is what connects the RV to the Fiesta. There are a lot of options but not to worry because I will recommend one that will work best with your Fiesta. Non-binding tow bars are the way to go for...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Ford Fiesta
    I did some checking and it looks like the battery of a 2014 Ford Fiesta would need to be disconnected if the vehicle had an automatic transmission but if you have a manual it would not be required. To make disconnecting the battery easy we have the part # DW05312 which will allow you to disconnect the battery without needing any tools. For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-524438-4 for if you do not have the EcoBoost engine or part # RM-524441-4 if you do. In addition to...

  • Can a 2018 Ford Fiesta be Flat Towed with Low Mileage and What Parts are Needed to do so
    I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2018 Ford Fiesta and it does look like it can be flat towed but you need to have at least 1,000 miles on it (page 158) before doing so. Be sure to check your copy of the owner's manual to make sure it says the same thing and for any specific instructions for flat towing. The parts you need to flat tow your Ford Fiesta include a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system. If you have an...

  • Can a 2017 Ford Fiesta be Flat Towed With 200 Miles on it and Recommended Parts Needed to Flat Tow
    I checked an online version of the owner's manual about flat towing for your 2017 Ford Fiesta and although I didn't find anything in there about a mileage requirement before flat towing, it is good practice to get at least 500 miles on a new vehicle before doing anything to or with it. This gives the vehicle a chance to break-in. The manual does say to put about 300 miles on new tires so I recommend going on a little road trip before flat towing your Fiesta. To flat tow your Fiesta you...

  • Can a 2016 Ford Fiesta with an Automatic Transmission be Flat Towed with 4 Wheels Down
    I did some checking ad it looks like your 2016 Ford Fiesta can be flat towed without any distance restrictions but you need to keep it under 70 mph. You will need to consult the owners manual for other recreational towing procedures as well. For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-524438-4 as a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible...

  • Video Showing Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Installation on 2019 Ford Fiesta
    We do have a video showing the installation of the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524438-4 on a Ford Fiesta, though it is of a 2015 Fiesta. That is the same generation (body style) of a 2019 Fiesta though so the installation will be the same on your '19 as the video shows. I have added a link on this page of the video for you to check out. Also please keep in mind those base plates only fit the Fiesta so long as it is NOT an ST model and does not have the EcoBoost. Along...

  • Flat Towing a 2017 Ford Fiesta SE With a 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun
    For your 2017 Ford Fiesta and 2017 Coachmen Leprechaun, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # RM-524438-5 to every customer for the fact that there is so much less parts required and it has a cleaner look. The only time I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524438-4 is if the customer is set on wanting to use a Tow Defender # RM-4700 or Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000. Those require the cross bar mounts to attach to the vehicle. The Roadmaster Nighthawk...

  • Is Ready Brute Tow Bar Compatible with Blue Ox or Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for a 2018 Ford Fiesta
    According to Ready Brute they have adapters for all Blue Ox, Demco, and Roadmaster base plate kits. If you have a 2018 Ford Fiesta ST model then you need the Blue Ox base plate kit # BX2650, but if you have the non-ST model then you can use either the EZ4 # RM-524438-4 or EZ5 # RM-524438-5. If you don't already have the correct adapter then part 857768004265 is for Blue Ox tow bars while parts 857768004289 and 857768004296 are for EZ4 and EZ5 Roadmaster base plates respectively.

  • Recommended Roadmaster Parts to Flat Tow 2017 Ford Fiesta Behind RV
    We have everything you need to equip your 2017 Ford Fiesta with Roadmaster parts so that it can be flat towed behind your RV with all 4 wheels on the ground. To do this you will need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. Starting with the base plate kit I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-524438-4 if you have the non-ST model without EcoBoost or the EZ4 # RM-524441-4 if you have the non-ST model WITH EcoBoost....

  • Recommended Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit For 2018 Ford Fiesta
    As long as your 2018 Ford Fiesta has the eco-boost engine, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524441-4 is confirmed to fit as it was designed for both ST and non-ST models. If your Fiesta does not have the eco-boost engine and does not have the SFE (Super Fuel Economy) package, you will need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524438-4. Both of the base plates mentioned pair nicely with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 and is the most popular compatible...

  • Can the StowMaster be Used with an EZ5 Base Plate Kit on a 2018 Ford Fiesta
    The reason that the StowMaster # RM-501 is not compatible with EZ5 base plate kits like part # RM-524438-5 for your 2018 Ford Fiesta is because the quick-disconnect is permanently attached to the tow bar. I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster who said that the only tow bars that are compatible with the EZ5 kits are the ones that mount inside the hitch receiver like the Falcon 2 # RM-520. If you already have the StowMaster and you need a base plate kit for your Fiesta then you can use...
