Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • 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


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.

  • Can the 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan be Towed with the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2000-1
    Yes, it is required that the steering wheel is locked when towing with the RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, item # RM-2050-1. The instructions state that the steering wheel must be locked or otherwise secured when towing. Failure to lock the steering wheel will allow the towed vehicle to pivot on the bed, causing it to hit the fender and wheel assemblies of the dolly. Severe damage will occur if the steering wheel is not locked. If your vehicle owners manual says not to tow the...

  • Can Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 Be Used to Flat Tow 2012 Chrysler Town and Country
    Yes, the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 part # RM-422 can be used to flat tow your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. You'll need the correct base plate kit for your vehicle though. For that you'd want the part # 284-1 which will fit and work well. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight...

  • Recommended Components Needed For Flat-Towing 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan
    The Roadmaster Falcon, part # RM-520 would work great with your 2008 Grand Caravan being flat-towed. There are 5 items you need when you want to flat-tow a vehicle. You need base plates on the towed vehicle, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for the towed vehicle, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. I will make the recommendations for the items you need. First, I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate kit, part # 284-1. These have removable arms when you aren't towing...

  • Recommended Base Plate And Tow Bar For 2010 Chrysler Town And Country
    The base plate, part # 284-1 and the Tow Ready Tow Bar, part # 63180 will work with the help of an adapter bar, part # RM-025 on your 2010 Town and Country. To make it much easier to connect and disconnect I recommend part # RM-201. When using this system you are limited to 45 mph. I do have another option I think will work better for you. I recommend a tow bar like the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, part # RM-020. This has a similar setup as the # 63180, but it has the crossbar included....
