Features to know about

Built for Heavy-Duty Towing: Fixed-Bar, Direct-Connect Design

When you want a solid, no-fuss connection for long hauls, this setup delivers. The fixed-bar design provides rigid attachment points that stay put once installed. It connects directly to your motor-home-mounted tow bar without the need for a crossbar, giving you a stronger, more streamlined setup made for heavy-duty applications.

Strength You Can Count On: All-Steel, Computer-Cut Construction

Every bracket is computer-cut from solid steel for precise fit and exceptional strength. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and stands up to road grime and weather. Once mounted to the frame, it spreads towing forces evenly so your setup stays tight and secure mile after mile.

Simplified Setup: No Crossbar Required for a Clean Front End

The direct-connect brackets eliminate the need for a crossbar, which means faster hook-ups and a sleeker look up front. You get fewer pieces to handle when connecting and disconnecting, and nothing bulky in sight once you’re ready to roll.

Hassle-Free Mounting: Bolt-On Fit with Hardware Included

The kit bolts directly to the vehicle’s frame—no welding needed. All mounting hardware and clear instructions come in the box so you can get right to work. Once installed, it’s ready to pair with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers, including the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, and Falcon 2 models.

Specs

Construction and Design

  • Design: Fixed-bar design - front arms cannot be removed
  • Material: Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Finish: Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Installation: Simple installation - no welding
  • Fit: Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Crossbar Requirement: No crossbar needed - faster hookup and sleeker appearance
  • Compatibility: Compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars that slide into trailer hitch receivers
  • Included Components: Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Origin: Made in the USA
  • Warranty: Limited Lifetime Warranty

Note

  • 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 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 these base plates. These cables connect to an anchor plate on the Quick Disconnect crossbar, which will not be present when you are using direct-connect base plates.

I have towed my Jeep over 3000 miles and have had no problems. Easy hook up and unhook.

by:
Easy to install, have held up well over 8,000 miles. They do need to be checked for tightness as per the directions. Highly recommended!

Easy fit if you have the correct bumper. I have the Rugged Ridge.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Behind an RV Using Roadmaster Tow Bar
    For your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 you can use Roadmaster base plates # 260-1. They are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. If you do not already have safety cables you can use # RM-653 to match the tow bar capacity. For lighting a popular option for Ram owners is diode kit # RM-15267. Once installed you won't have to mess with it again. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you. You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar level. I have linked a help article...

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # 264-1a fit a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 with Missing Factory Tow Hooks
    Since your 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 came from the factory with tow hooks the Roadmaster MS Base Plate Kit # 264-1A that you referenced would work for you. This kit utilizes the factory tow hook installation points as installation points for the base plate kit and even if you had the tow hooks still you would not be able to reinstall them once the # 264-1a was installed.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi Behind an RV
    We do have Roadmaster base plates for the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 but # 264-1A will not fit. If your Truck is NOT an SRT-10 you can use XL base plates # 260-1. These base plates will fit with or without tow hooks. Roadmaster recommends professional installation but if you look at the instructions I have linked for the 260-1 base plates you can make that determination. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522. This is a non-binding tow bar rated for 6,000 pounds....
