  The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-523193-5 will simply connect to your Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar # RM-520 directly instead of utilizing the crossbar between the tabs on each side of your Equinox.

• Recommended Base Plate Kit and Flat Towing Parts for a 2023 Chevy Equinox LT
  I checked with Roadmaster and the only base plate kit with removable arms for the 2023 Equinox is the one you were looking at item # RM-523193-5. The only other option is item # RM-523193-4 which is a crossbar style baseplate. There is nothing in their system or ours that has the model number you provided fitting a 2023 Equinox.

• Base Plates for 2018 Chevy Equinox for use With Roadmaster Stowmaster 5000 Tow Bar

• Height Comparison for 2021 Chevy Equinox Roadmaster Direct-Connect and Crossbar Base Plate Kits
  The crossbar height is actually the same for the Direct-Connect # RM-523193-5 and Crossbar-Style # RM-523193-4 base plate kits that fit your 2021 Chevy Equinox. Roadmaster lists both at 18-1/2" along with a note saying this might vary depending on the sub-model and tire size (which is normally the case anyways). The Crossbar-Style looks like it's taller but that's just because of the design. The tow bar actually sits a little lower with that setup which is why they have the same height. I...

• Can Demco Dominator Tow Bar Connect Roadmaster Base Plate for 2018 Chevy Equinox
  The difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits part # RM523193-4 and # RM-523193-5 is the removable arm design of the base plate which allows for different attachments to tow bars. The # RM-523193-4 is the style that requires the tow bar to have a crossbar whereas the # RM523193-5 is a direct connect style of attachment so the tow bar doesn't need to use a crossbar. The direct connect is an easier design with less components involved so it's the better option when available. To...

• Why Won't the Bulb and Socket Tail Light Kit Work On a 2018 Chevy Equinox Premier
  The bulb and socket tail light flat-tow wiring harness kits like the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles part # RM-152-LED will not work on a 2018 Chevrolet Equinox Premier because there isn't space inside the housing to mount the bulb and socket because of the LEDs. Therefore, the best option would be a diode kit like the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 which are much less invasive anyhow.

  The primary difference between the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-523193-5 and the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # RM-523193-4 are the removable arms themselves.

• Should Wiring Harness Be Installed When Bumper is Off for Base Plates on 2019 Chevy Equinox
  Yes, when installing the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-523193-4 on a 2019 Chevrolet Equinox it will be a good idea to go ahead and run the wires for the flat-tow wiring harness while the bumper is off.
