2023 Ford Ranger - Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Twist Lock Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Roadmaster's crossbar-style brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your Ford Ranger's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.

  • Hidden bracket design provides improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
    • Crossbar-style brackets sit far back for a supremely clean look
  • Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
    • Arms click to lock in place in brackets
    • Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Integrated mounting points let you easily attach an electrical connector plug or bracket (sold separately)
  • Compatible with Roadmaster tow bars with use of quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 - sold separately)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


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.

  • Will Roadmaster Guardian Shield Fit a 2023 Ford Ranger Tremor?
    Hey Lenny, thanks for reaching out! The Roadmaster Guardian # RM-4000 will fit your 2023 Ranger as long as you're using the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524459-4 and Quick Disconnect Kit # 910021-00 (or a tow bar that comes with it). The fitment of the Guardian has more to do with the base plate that's on your vehicle as opposed to the vehicle itself. Do you already have a base plate kit?

  • Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2022 Ford Ranger
    I would be happy to! The correct base plate for your 2022 Ford Ranger that works with a Roadmaster All Terrain tow bar is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # RM-524459-5. The item # RM-524459-4 you were looking at also fits your Ranger but it requires a crossbar like item # 910021-00 to be used. The direct connect is better because it's less moving pieces and easier to hook up. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up. Here are some other parts...

  • Install of Roadmaster Baseplate on 2019 Ford Ranger
    I have a video of a 2019 Ford Ranger getting the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-524459-4, which is the same process as the one your referenced, # RM-524459-5. The difference between the 2 is how the tow bar mounts, and the removable arms. Each base plate installs exactly the same, the direct connect has less components to hook up to the tow bar. Instead of using a quick disconnect cross bar, it connects directly to the base plate. I linked the parts and a video showing...

  • How To Use a Roadmaster StowMaster All Terrain Tow Bar RM-502 on a 2019 Ford Ranger
    Yes, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-524459-4 will work with the Roadmaster StowMaster All Terrain Tow Bar part RM-502 on your 2019 Ford Ranger. You just need to make sure you still have the car side quick disconnects, the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnects part # RM-222.

  • Correct Base Plate Kit for a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4x4
    Yes, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-524459-4 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ford Ranger XLT SuperCab 4x4. There are no differences between the Lariat and XLT trim packages in regards to the fit of a base plat kit such as the above. For a compatible tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-676. The Nighthawk is one of the best tow bars we offer. It has a non-binding and self-aligning design which makes for an extremely easy hookup....

  • Do Roadmaster Crossbar Style Base Plates Effect Activation of Collision Sensors on 2019 Ford Ranger
    To give you the short answer- No. The crossbar style base plates like the Roadmaster # RM-524459-4 will not interfere with the collision avoidance sensors when installed on your 2019 Ford Ranger. The sensors are mounted on the front bumper far enough away from the base plates that they won't activate them. You will have to disconnect the sensors during the installation, since the bumper is removed, but they are plugged back in once the bumper goes back on. The arms on these base plates...

  • Install Video for Base Plate Kit that Fits 2019 Ford Ranger
    We have an install video for a Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # RM-524459-4 on a 2019 Ford Ranger that I attached a link to on this page but we do not have a Blue Ox install video at this time (February 2020). 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 tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy...

  • Which Base Plates Are Needed to Use Roadmaster StowMaster 502 on 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    If you're wanting to use the Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2-5/16" Ball - 6,000 lbs # RM-504 on your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee you'll need compatible base plates like the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521440-4. If you just need the quick disconnects then you'll need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnects - Car Side Only # RM-222.

  • Comparing Roadmaster Direct Connect and Crossbar Base Plate Kits for 2019 Ford Ranger
    Personally I prefer the direct connect base plate kits like the part # RM-524459-5 as they are easier to connect/disconnect, are simpler overall like you said, and require keeping track of fewer things (the crossbar). While the crossbar does add sturdiness the Direct Connect kits are more reinforced where they attach to the vehicle frame and to the arms of the kit so they overall are just as strong. This would work really well with the Blackhawk part # RM-422. I attached an install video...
