Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

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

The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
    • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • 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
  • 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


Note: 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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2001 Dodge Dakota V6 Manual Behind an RV
    It does look like you can flat tow your 2001 Dodge Dakota with the V6 motor, 2-wheel drive, and manual transmission. Please consult the vehicle owner's manual for additional information. To flat tow a vehicle you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use # 271-1. I have linked the instructions for you. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video featuring this tow bar for you. For...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow A 2004 Dodge Dakota With A Falcon 5200 Tow Bar
    Yes we can definitely help set you up. For replacement pins you will need the # RM-910008-00.This is the 3/4" diameter pins and they will be compatible with your Roadmaster Falcon 5200 Tow Bar. You will also need a base plate to go on the front of the towed vehicle. I see you were searching for parts for a 2004 Dodge Dakota. If this is the vehicle you plan to flat tow, I recommend the # 266-1 for 4 wheel drive models, or the # 271-1 for 2 wheel drive models. You will also need the quick...

  • Can a 2002 Dodge Dakota Crew Cab with Automatic Transmission be Flat Towed Behind a Motor Home
    I tried to find the owners manual online for a 2002 Dodge Dakota but was unable to locate it. You will need to consult the vehicle owners manual in the recreational towing section to determine if your model can be flat towed and if so if there are any special requirements. If you determine that it can be flat towed then you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates, if you have a 2-wheel drive, use # 271-1. For 4-wheel drive use...

  • How To Use the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar on a 2001 Dodge Dakota
    Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX1939 which is a fit for your 2001 Dodge Dakota can be used with the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-522 if you have the correct adapter which is the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter part # RM-031. If you do not wish to use an adapter then you will need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 271-1 for 2WD or part # 266-1 for 4WD instead. These kits in addition to not requiring an adapter...

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, Wiring, Safety Cables, Braking System to Flat Tow a 2003 Dodge Dakota
    The only drilling involved when installing Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 271-1, is to enlarge some existing holes on the bumper side braces and on the existing holes on the frame. You will not need to drill any new holes on the frame of the 2003 Dodge Dakota. With the base plates installed you will need a compatible tow bar. I recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520, because it is compatible with XL base plates, and is one of our most popular tow bars. I have included a link...

  • What Adapter Is Needed to Attach My RoadMaster Explorer Tow Bar to Blue Ox Base Plates
    The RoadMaster Explorer Tow Bar is a car mounted tow bar so there is no adapter available to adapt it to Blue Ox Base Plates.
