Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - 469-3

  • 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.

  • Base Plate Recommendation for 2001 Ford Explorer XLT
    Hey Ricky, so I would go with the Roadmaster Direct Connect Base Plate Kit part # 469-3 which is a confirmed fit for your 2001 Ford Explorer. This has easier to use and connect to arms than the kit you mentioned. We do not have any install video for base plate kits that fit your truck at this time though. Of all of the options available I would say this is by far the best since it's easiest to use and has removable arms so it's mostly hidden when not in use. Are you in need of other flat...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2000 Ford Explorer
    Hey Jon, the first thing you would need is a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your 2000 Ford Explorer like the Roadmaster base plate kit part # 469-3. 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,...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow 1999 Ford Explorer 4WD
    Hey Ricky. I read over the owners manual for the 1999 Ford Explorer, and according to the manual they are flat towable. You will need to install a neutral tow kit. This is something that can be provided by a Ford dealership. We can provide the rest of the parts for your flat tow setup. Here is what I recommend: - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 469-3 - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates - RV Mount - 6,000 lbs # e74ZR -...
