If you prefer a setup that keeps your vehicle looking stock when you’re not towing, this EZ Base Plate Kit is the way to go. Once the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible—mounted within the grille where they stay out of sight and protected from scuffs. The hidden bracket design gives a clean, factory look and keeps things safe from knee bumps or snagging when you’re walking around the front end.
The EZ series uses a Twistlock system that makes connecting and disconnecting quick and straightforward. Just insert each drawbar, twist to lock it in place, and you’re ready to tow—no pins or clips required. When it’s time to unhook, twist again and pull them out. It’s a solid, easy-to-use setup that works smoothly every time you connect your tow bar.
This base plate kit bolts directly to the frame with no welding required. The computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength for peace of mind on long hauls. It’s finished in a black powder coat that resists corrosion and holds up well through repeated use and weather exposure, keeping your towing gear dependable over time.
The kit is built to work seamlessly with Roadmaster tow bars and Quick Disconnects for easy integration into your existing towing system. Instructions and mounting hardware are included so you can get everything lined up properly from the start. For complete installation, fishwires (C58400 – sold separately) are required to finish the job neatly and securely.

I towed my Mini Cooper on a 5000-mile trip this summer. The Base Plates worked great. I had to replace the water pump on the Cooper this required removing and reinstalling the base plates. I inspected them, and after two years and 9000 miles of towing, they are in perfect shape.

The Roadmaster baseplate and Falcon tow bar are working great with our 2014 Grand Cherokee and Endeavor motorhome. We are in the middle of a 1500 mile trip and have had no problems with the equipment. I have decided that I need to purchase a braking system for the Jeep. Thinking about the Invisi Brake, primarily because it is made by Roadmaster and I had a great experience with your companys customer service when the 2014 Grand Cherokee baseplate kit was being developed. Thanks for the good work.

Have been using this tow adapter now for a while and everything works out fine, Easy to connect. I did purchase the Wiring harness from the tail lights to the front of the car instead of making it as I usually do and the connection to the RV from that connection and glad I did, the wiring harness also went easy and very fast.

I have towed my Terrain about 3500 miles with no issues. It tows and tracks extremely well. I put red paint marks on the bolts that are easily seen, so that I can see at a glance if any bolts have loosened up. I use a Roadmaster All Terrain tow hitch and SMI Duo braking system.

They worked as advertised for the time we used the car. We no longer have the car but we have since purchased another base plate kit from you for our new Maverick. You make a reliable product which we like to use.
