Features to know about

Effortless Connect and Disconnect: Twist Lock Attachment

Have you ever struggled with cumbersome towing setups? The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit makes connecting and disconnecting a breeze thanks to its innovative Twist Lock Attachment. Just insert the drawbars into the brackets, twist to secure, and you’re ready to hit the road. To disconnect, a simple twist and pull remove the arms just as easily.

Sleek and Inconspicuous Design: Virtually Invisible Brackets

Say goodbye to unsightly equipment sticking out of your vehicle. With the Roadmaster kit, the hidden brackets sit far back on your vehicle’s frame, keeping them out of plain sight. Once the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible, ensuring your car looks pristine when not in tow.

Robust and Ready for the Road: All-Steel, Computer-Cut Construction

For those who demand robust reliability, the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit delivers with its all-steel, computer-cut construction. This ensures exceptional strength that can handle the rigors of the road while a black powder coat finish provides durable, corrosion-resistant protection against the elements.

Custom Fit for Your Vehicle: Custom Base Plates and Easy Installation

Every vehicle is different, but that attention to detail is exactly where Roadmaster shines. The custom base plates are engineered to fit your specific vehicle model, ensuring a perfect and seamless fit. Plus, installing the kit is simple and requires no welding—just follow the clear instructions and use the included hardware.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    In order to flat tow your Jeep Grand Cherokee behind an RV you need a base plate kit, a tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. Starting with the base plates, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plate Kit # RM-521440-5. This kit is custom fit for your Grand Cherokee and features a hidden bracket design that provides a clean look when you aren't towing. Its black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant.

  • Recommended Diode Kit for a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
    Hey Andy! The premium lighting group that Jeep offers for the 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited won't affect which diode wiring kit you need. The option that will determine the correct one is whether or not your Jeep has the Parksense Proximity Sensors. I have listed the parts below: Without Proximity Sensors - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267 or item # RM-152 for just the diodes With Proximity Sensors - Roadmaster Smart Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Wiring Kit...

    You are correct that there are quite a few parts necessary to flat tow your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee behind your motorhome but I'll be happy to list everything you'll need. As you mentioned, you'll need base plates, and the Roadmaster EZ5 # RM-521440-5 is a confirmed fit for your Jeep so long as it is not an SRT-8 model, which since you listed this part I assume it is not.

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
    Hey Keith, for your 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk with adaptive cruise control I would recommend the Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate kit part # RM-521440-5 as it's easiest option to use. Do you have the rest of your flat towing setup already? You'll also want a Roadmaster tow bar like the part # RM-520.

  • Will 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Require Brake Light Relay Kit
    Hi Patrick; the # RM-88400 is not required for your Patriot 2 or the Hopkins # HM59VR. It is necessary on some vehicles depending on the braking system, but not on your 2014 Grand Cherokee. You will also need a base plate kit # RM-521440-5, tow bar # e74ZR (includes safety cables), and possibly a high-low adapter to complete your setup. If you use the etrailer tow bar it has a built-in rise/drop of 1-1/2" so an adapter may not be necessary. I went ahead and attached a help article below...

  • Which SMI Flat Tow Braking Kit for 2020 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk
    If you want a permanently installed flat tow braking setup for your 2020 Jeep Cherokee and your tow vehicle has air brakes the Air Force One kit part # SM99243 is the way to go. I attached an install video for this on a similar 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee as well. If your tow vehicle does not have air brakes though the SMI DUO part # SM99251 is a bit easier to install and is our installers favorite due to ease of install and performance.

  • What do I Need to flat Tow a 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a Motorhome
    To flat tow a 2011 to 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee there are 5 major components needed: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. The base plates are what attach to the front of the Jeep and provide a safe and proper attachment point for the tow bar. For the 2011 to 2013 Grand Cherokee I recommend Roadmaster EZ5 base plates # RM-521440-5. These base plates feature removable arms that, when removed, makes the base plates almost invisible.

  • Is A Battery Charge Line Kit Required When Flat Towing A 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Yes, I highly recommend using a battery charge line kit while flat towing your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Depending on the braking system you use you'll be pulling power directly from the vehicle battery and wouldn't want to run the risk of it depleting the battery while you're towing and then have the breaking system turn off or get to your destination and unhook your Jeep only to find the battery is too low to start. If you aren't using a Brake Buddy System like the # HM39524 or # HM39530...

  • Is there a Base Plate Kit that Lets me Keep the Tow Hooks on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
    No, the tow hooks come off no matter what brand of base plate you use. This is extremely common amongst SUVs and trucks with flat towing set ups. That's a solid anchor point and attaching a base plate there hides it extremely well. Here are the parts I recommend you use to set up a 2021 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 to be flat towed: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar item # RM-520 and item # RM-643 Base Plate Kit - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable...

You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball, provided in the # 989900 etrailer ball mount kit. For a brake controller, I'd go with the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake controller.
