Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 1175-3

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications, direct-connect brackets install onto your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for a motor-home-mounted tow bar. Front arms are easily removable when not in use.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
    • Crossbar not required because these direct-connect base plates are designed for strong, heavy-duty applications
  • Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.


Direct-connect brackets do not require a crossbar because of the heavy-duty nature of your vehicle's frame. Thus, installation is simplified, the hookup process is faster, and the total appearance is enhanced.


Note: The EZ Hook safety cables included with Roadmaster's Sterling tow bars will not work with direct-connect base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using these base plates.


The drawbars, or front arms, on the direct-connect base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with pins. 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.

  • Do You Have the Replacement Hardware for Roadmaster Baseplate on 2014 Toyota Tacoma?
    Hello Rafael, We don’t have the hardware kit for the baseplates. The Replacement Hardware Kit for Roadmaster Crossbar Base Plate 521190-1 # RM-521190-1HK is only the hardware to mount the flat parts on a crossbar-style baseplate. Baseplates are designed to be used on one vehicle only and are considered compromised once removed from the first vehicle, so the safest option would be to replace the entire Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1175-3. It wouldn’t hurt to reach out to...

  • Can Demco Commander Tow Bar be Used with Roadmaster Base Plate for 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    Hey Dal, so the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 1175-3 can be used with a Demco Commander tow bar part # DM9511012 but you will need to use the adapter part # DM9523032 with it.

  • Is Drilling Required for the Roadmaster MX Base Plate Kit on a 2007 Toyota Tacoma
    Some drilling is required for the Roadmaster base plate kits if your 2007 Toyota Tacoma is a 2 wheel drive model. The 4 wheel drive and Prerunner models do not require drilling because there will be a bolt holding a frame cap in place. I have attached a photo showing where the drilling is required on the 2 wheel drive models. Only one 1/2 inch hole must be drilled on each side for the bottom support bracket. A few things to keep in mind with this base plate kit is that it will not work...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD
    For a base plate kit for your 2005 Toyota Tacoma TRD you'd want the Roadmaster Direct Connect part # 1175-3 which is 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 tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety cables, locks, and covers for the...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2009 Toyota Tacoma
    I would be happy to put together a flat towing set up for a 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4WD. I can't do one for the 2022 WRX because it needs to be trailered. To flat tow your 2009 Toyota Tacoma you will need the following parts: 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 Arms item # 1175-3 Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267 Supplemental...

  • 2007 Toyota Tacoma Base Plate Kit Options to Fit with Roadmaster Tow Bar
    The correct Roadmaster base plates for your 2007 Toyota Tacoma are the following: - Direct-Connect # 1175-3 - Crossbar-Style # 1175-1 If your Roadmaster tow bar has individual joints with bolts, like what we see pictured with the Falcon All-Terrain Tow Bar # RM-522, then you need the Direct-Connect. The only other way that the Roadmaster Tow Bars connect to their base plate kits is with the Crossbar-Style which uses the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00 to link the tow...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2010 Toyota Tacoma
    You are correct, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # 1175-3 is a confirmed fit for the 2010 Tacoma, excluding X-Runner trim package, and this will match well to the Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-522 that you have selected. In addition to the base plates and tow bar you identified, I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 and Falcon All-Terrain Combo Towing Kit with Straight Wiring, # RM-9243-1 that includes wiring kit, power cord, mounting bracket, safety cables,...

  • Equipment Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Toyota Tacoma X Runner
    I did some research, and found that Toyota states that the Tacoma shouldn't be flat towed. There are aftermarket lube pumps that can be installed to keep the transmission lubricated during towing, but they aren't anything we carry. You'd need to do a Google search to find that item, and obviously using the lube pump would void your vehicle warranty. If you decide to flat tow the vehicle, you'd need a towbar, a base plate kit, safety cables, a wiring solution and a supplemental braking...

  • Recommended Base Plate and Flat Towing Set Up for a 2007 Toyota Tacoma
    To add a set of base plates to your 2007 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit item # 1175-3. This kit has removable tabs for a clean look when your truck is not being flat towed. These tabs are compatible with Roadmaster tow bars. They are not compatible with the X-Runner model. If you are needing a base plate kit for the X-Runner model Tacoma or you have a Blue Ox tow bar, you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX3763. Some other parts you...

  • Recommended Base Plates For 2012 Toyota Tacoma
    It is no bother at all. We are happy to answer the questions you have and want to make sure you get the items that work best for you. Both of the base plates, part # 1175-1, and part # 1175-3 are designed to fit your 2012 Toyota Tacoma. Both of the base plates will work with the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520, and both require the same amount of drilling for installation. I recommend using the # 1175-1 base plates. The # 1175-1 requires the crossbar to be used on the Falcon...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 Toyota Tacoma with Roadmaster Stowmaster Tow Bar
    Yes, there is some drilling required to install base plates # 1175-3 on your 2012 Toyota Tacoma. I have included a link to the installation instructions to the right for you to view. These base plates are NOT compatible with the Roadmaster Stowmaster tow bar # RM-501. I recommend using the XL base plates # 1175-1. There is still drilling required but these base plates are compatible with the Stowmaster tow bar. You will also need safety cables # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the...

  • Could Base Plate from GMC Terrain fit 2005 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner
    No it can not. There's no way it could be modified either. You'd need a new base plate kit like the #1175-3.
