This base plate keeps the front of your vehicle looking clean when you’re not towing. The crossbar-style hidden brackets mount to the frame while the drawbars are easily removable using two hitch pins. Once you pull them off, the remaining brackets are nearly invisible and tucked behind the grille, safe from scrapes and scuffs. It’s a simple way to keep your setup functional without giving up a factory look.
Built from computer-cut, all-steel components, this kit delivers the kind of strength you want for long-distance towing. The black powder coat finish adds corrosion resistance so it stays solid through years of road grit and weather. With its heavy-duty design spreading the load evenly across the frame, it gives you confidence mile after mile.
The installation process is simple and doesn’t call for any welding. Each kit includes instructions and mounting hardware so you can bolt it directly to the chassis using factory points. For complete installation, fishwires (C58400 – sold separately) are required. It’s a practical weekend project for anyone who likes doing their own work and wants a secure, clean fit.
This base plate works with Roadmaster tow bars when used with the quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 – sold separately). The design makes connecting and disconnecting straightforward—slide in the square drawbars, secure them with hitch pins, and you’re ready to go. When it’s time to unhook, just pull the pins and remove the arms for a smooth front end again.
Fishwires (C58400 - sold separately) are required for complete installation. The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch 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.

Thanks for the review and for sharing your installation experience Christian. Your tip about leaving the bumper on during install is really helpful, especially since fitting the ends through the louvers can take a little extra maneuvering. It’s also great to hear the setup works well with your Stowmaster 5000. The install looks great, and we appreciate you sharing the picture! Where did you go for the first trip?

Everything related to my Mini towing system is working great after a year of use.i do wish I had bought a cover for the tow bar though. Keeping it clean would be easier with the cover. Great products and service from etrailet

New system working fine. As with previous system it requires towed vehicle to be nearly perfectly aligned straight behind motorhome to disconnect without considerable tension.

Everything is working great, I installed a base plate kit, battery charging kit, stop light switch kit, second vehicle air brake kit w brakeaway and seat adapter on our 2019 Chevy Equinox and towed it about 14000 miles behind our motor home this past year and everything worked perfect not a problem with any product. These are great products, everything fit perfectly and performed perfectly. Thank you for great service and great products. Rob

It’s been a year now and probably 7,000 miles later and everything has held up perfectly despite some darn rough roads between MD and Albuquerque, NM and back.

Hate that every 3,000 miles towing have to re-torque bolts of base plate. Good product otherwise.
