The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style series base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. 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.

  • Tow Defender Screen Protector for 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 with EZ-5 Direct Connect Base Plate Kit
    Since you are wanting to use the EZ-5 Direct Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523198-5 with the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain # RM-422 for your 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 you need to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4750 instead of the Roadmaster Tow Defender # RM-4700. If you already own the 4700 version then you'll need the Base Plate Kit # RM-523198-4 instead. I have confirmed all of this with Roadmaster.

  • 2020 GMC Denali 1500 Flat Tow Setup
    To flat tow your GMC Sierra 1500 you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a wiring harness, supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed height of the base plate is more than 3 inches higher or lower than the receiver height of the motorhome. For base plates, the Roadmaster # RM-523198-4 you'd looked at would be a fine choice. From what I've seen online, the weight of the Sierra 1500 Denali maxes out at around 5000 lbs, in which case the Roadmaster...

  • Can 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali be Flat Towed and Parts Needed
    I took a look at the owner's manual for a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali and both it and the standard 1500 can be flat towed so long as it is a four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case, and according to page 236 of the manual, "To shift the transfer case, press the desired button" which seems pretty simple compared to some other vehicles! There are a number of parts you are going to need in order to flat tow this truck, which I'll list for you: - Base Plate Kit: Roadmaster Crossbar-Style...

  • Where To Mount the Flat-Tow Electrical Connector on a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500
    The best place to mount the electrical connector is directly to the front bumper fascia, below the chrome moulding. I have attached a few photos of this for you as well on the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-523198-4 but it shouldn't really matter which kit you have. If you don't already have a flat-tow wiring harness for your vehicle then I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 because it will then allow you to incorporate...

  • How To Set Up a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 To Be Flat-Towed
    I have attached for you below the proper procedure to flat-tow a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 (Two Speed Transfer Case Only) according to page: 404 of your owner's manual. 1. Position the vehicle being towed behind the tow vehicle, facing forward and on a level surface. 2. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle. 3. Start the engine. 4. Shift the transfer case to N (Neutral). See “Shifting into N (Neutral)” under Four-Wheel Drive page: 238. 5. With the engine running, release...

  • Is Drilling Required When Installing The Roadmaster Base Plate RM-523198-4 On A 2024 GMC Sierra 1500
    No, you will not need to drill into the frame when installing the Roadmaster Base Plate # RM-523198-4 on a 2024 GMC Sierra 1500. Installation will require some trimming/cutting of the plastic bumper fascia, as well as potentially the spoiler, air dam or grille. Tow hooks, if present, will be permanently removed. I have linked the manufacturer instructions below if you want to take a closer look.

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Interfere With Adaptive Ride Control System On 2020 GMC Sierra Denali
    I reached out to my contact at Roadmaster and he confirmed that the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523198-5 and Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-523198-4 will NOT interfere with the adaptive ride control system on your 2020 Sierra 1500 Denali 4WD Crew Cab with the 3L diesel. With that being said, I recommend the Direct-Connect # RM-523198-5 as it offers the same rigidity as the Crossbar-style, but will be one less thing to deal with when installing your tow bar. I included...

  • Supplemental Braking System for Jayco Seneca Towing 2019 GMC 1500 That Installs Out of the Way
    I don't know much about the Readybrute Elite towbar since it's not a product that we offer, but from what I was able to find it looks like they're compatible with a number of different manufacturer's base plates. If you do need base plates to connect it to, I recommend using the Blue Ox # BLU54VR since they will be compatible with your Blue Ox clevises. When it comes to supplemental braking that has the cleanest looking installation that you'll barely notice once it's on your vehicle,...
