Video Transcript for An In-Depth Look at the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter Brackets for Blue Ox Base Plates

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Roadmaster tow bar to Blue Ox base plates adapters. Now this part will adapt your Roadmaster's Blackhawk, Falcon, or Sterling tow bars to Blue Ox base plate brackets. They will work on the Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 14,500. Now if the serial number on your Sterling tow bar is higher, then you need to use the part number RM-031-5, which we do sell separately on our website.Now this part will include these two pieces, one for each arm of the tow bar. Basically what happens is right here, this bolt will go through the arm of the tow bar, and then this bracket here with the pin and clip, you would slide out your clip and your pin. And then this bracket will attach to the Blue Ox base plate brackets, and once they slide in there, you just slide your pin through.

And then put your clip on there like that, and it will hold it in to place.It does include the two swivel ears, the two base pins and clips, the two Allen head shoulder bolts, four plastic washers, two metal washers, and then two lock nuts. And it does have a nice detailed set of instructions on how to install it. And these parts are made in the USA. But that should do it for the review on the Roadmaster tow bar to Blue Ox base plates adapter.

The road master bar adapter was so easy to install when we first received them and has work fantastic over the past year towing our car behind our RV around the country.



by:

Exactly as described. I chose this adapter bracket from Roadmaster over the adapter bracket from Blue Ox (although it looks like beefier metal) because it is a solid piece of metal instead of the Blue Ox that is welded (and more expensive). Probably both are fine. Also I figured it would fit the Falcon Roadmaster tow bar exactly, and with accurate instructions, since it is made by Roadmaster. (Again, the Blue Ox one would probably be fine too.) So I have used the instructions and assembled the adapter brackets and it appears to be fine. I will now need to get a torque wrench.

Work perfectly. I like that they are manufactured as one piece rather than pieces welded together as another supplier has done.

I need a base plate and tow bar for a 1998 Ford explorer 4 door

I have some options for you! I recommend the Blue Ox baseplate part # BX2141 for a Ford Explorer Limited. If it is not a Limited edition, there isn't an option. Please keep in mind the owner's manual of this vehicle requires a "neutral tow kit" from the dealership before flat towing behind a motorhome. I recommend the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar part # e47ZR which is designed to work with the Blue Ox base plate and features a non-binding trigger to easily release the tension when disconnecting the tow bar. There are many other components needed to flat your 1998 Ford Explorer such as: wiring, a supplemental braking system and a high low adapter so please let me know if you need anything else.


by:

Easy install, solidly constructed, readily converts my Roadmaster Vulcan 2 tow arms to a Blue Ox base plate.

Outstanding service. Correct parts.

An amazing company, wish I owned it. Keep up the great work.

Great quality, everything fit as it should, and the people I dealt with on the phone very friendly and knowledgeable.

They were exactly what I needed.



by:

Adapters fit perfectly. Thanks Alex from etrailer for your assistance in ordering and expediting tha adadters.



by:

I ordered these on line from etrailer.com because I had purchased a used vehicle that came with a Blue Ox system already attached but I have been using a Falcon 2 bar for years. They made a very inexpensive option for my scenario. It would have cost hundreds of dollars to put a Roadmaster system on the car. My only complaint is that the clevis pins pop out very easily. For safety, I will secure them with zip-ties before each trip (cheap insurance).

Great! We were so happy that we were able to use Blue Ox attachments with our Roadmaster equipment.



by:

Happy to find a clean conversion from blue ox to roadmaster sterling tow bar.



by:

We've had a Roadmaster Falcon 2 towbar for several years and now have a Cadillac SRX with a Blue Ox baseplate. Purchased these to adapt the car to the towbar and they work perfect. They arrived quickly and were easy to install. Well-made product and highly recommended. Leave it to etrailer to always have the solution.



by:

Appear to very well engineered and nicely painted . I feel I received a quality part foe a reasonable price .



by:

The tabs for Blue Ox base plate fit perfect. The adapter fit to the tabs very nicely, but the swivel ear, where it attaches to the tow bar was too wide, 1 1/2" and the shaft on my towbar needs only 7/8". The directions say a round nut should screw on the shaft and fill the space, but there isn't any threads on the towbar shaft. I talked to a very nice lady, at Etrailers help number, about the problem, and she said, that Roadmaster says it's ok, and so does DOT, to snugly fill in the gap with grade 8 washers.



by:

Excellent product and great price. I have always received great service and shipping with outstanding communication and tracking .
I tow two different vehicles with different brand mounts and these brackets will make my life much easier by just swapping brackets instead of having to use two different tow bars.



by:

I received the RoadMaster tow bar adaptors promptly, they were easy to install and have performed flawlessly for 1,000's of miles of towing my Jeep. etrailer.com has become my go to place to purchase high quality components.



by:

Good product but when ordering you should give the other tie,s that may be needed

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Honda CR-V
    There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to flat tow your 2014 Honda CR-V, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521567-4 due to the clean look they'll give your Honda. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; you will also need safety chains # RM-643.

It is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2667 which will then require the adapter # RM-031 which works on Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 16,500. If the serial number on your tow bar is 16,501 or above, then the adapter # RM-031-5 is the correct fit. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2...

    We do have a base plate kit for the new WL 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee (without tow hooks) with the part # BLU98CR. 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.

This would be what I would go with if I were you since you already have the tow bar. No word on a Roadmaster fit for the truck yet though.

    To connect a Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 to a Blue Ox baseplate, like the # BX3605 which is a confirmed fit for your Forester, you would need the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031. This would replace the connectors on the arms allowing you to mount the tow bar to the baseplate. There is the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 909-9, which is confirmed to fit your Forester, but you'd still need an adapter like the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly...

The adapter you need will be dependent on the Roadmaster tow bar you have. So if you have the Blackhawk, Falcon, or Sterling tow bars, you'd need # RM-031, but if you had the Nighthawk, Sterling, or Blackhawk 2 All-Terrain you'd need # RM-031-5. To finish up a complete flat towing setup, you're going to also need...

    Hey Rodger, when considering a vehicle for flat towing the first thing you want to consider is if it can be flat towed.

At this time for a 2024 Chevy Blazer we only have Blue Ox base plate kits like the part # BX1735 if it doesn't have the 2.0 turbo engine or the part # BLU58CR if it does...

  • Is It Better To Go With Like Branded Tow Bars And Baseplates Over Using An Adapter
    Hey Andy, The Roadmaster adapters # RM-031 and # RM-031-5 would only have to be installed one time and would then remain on the tow bar so it really isn't a huge deal going with a Blue Ox baseplate and Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar. If you weren't wanting to have to buy an adapter then yes, you would want to go with a Roadmaster baseplate as well. The adapters shouldn't take more than a half hour to install so it's really up to your comfort level with tools. Since your serial number is...

    I have been reviewing the base plate kits made for 2019 Ford Expeditions. Each of them require trimming out the fascia where the tow hooks would have went, or to remove those tow hooks. I would not be surprised if a little extra trimming in that area was necessary. You will also need to mount the 6-pin connector up in the grill area. While a little trim here, scuffs from safety cables there, and a couple screw holes would probably go unnoticed by most, an experienced appraiser will probably...

  • Finding the Serial Number on a Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar to Use Adapter for Blue Ox base Plates
    I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster about how to find the serial number to get the proper adapter to use with the Blue Ox base plates. You will need to spread the 2 arms apart on the tow bar and then look for the sticker where the two arms come together. That is where you should find the serial number. For serial numbers above 16,501 you will need adapter # RM-031-5 that you have referenced. For serial numbers up to 16,500 you will need adapter # RM-031.
