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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2017 Ford Edge Titanium without Adaptive Cruise Control
    The correct Roadmaster base plate kit you need for a 2017 Ford Edge Titanium without active cruise control and a V6 is the part # RM-524454-4 that you referenced. This base plate is perfectly compatible with your Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar part # RM-520 that you have as well. These two would work great together. 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...

  • Recommended Base Plates and Components for 2018 Ford Edge Titanium with Adaptive Cruise Control
    For your 2018 Ford Edge Titanium there is only one base plate kit confirmed to work with the Adaptive Cruise Control. It is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2667 which will then require the adapter # RM-031 which works on Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 16,500. If the serial number on your tow bar is 16,501 or above, then the adapter # RM-031-5 is the correct fit. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2...

  • Will the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Work With a ReadyBrute Elite Tow Bar
    According to my research, the ReadyBrute Elite Tow Bar would have came with clevis connectors to attach to either a Roadmaster or Blue-Ox tow bar. If your tow bar came with the Roadmaster clevis connectors (857768004296) then they will attach directly to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-524444-5 which is a fit for your 2016 Ford Edge. However, if your tow bar came with the Blue-Ox clevis connectors (857768004265) then you will need to use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Ford Edge Titanium with 3.5 Liter Motor Behind a Motor Home
    According to the 2015 Ford Edge owner's manual you can flat tow the 2015 Edge Titanium if it has the 2.7 liter EcoBoost or 3.5 liter motor and 6-speed automatic transmission. Since you have a 3.5 liter then as long as you have the 6-speed automatic you can flat tow your Edge using base plates # RM-524448-4 if you have Active Cruise Control. If you don't have Actice Cruise Control instead you want # RM-524454-4 instead. And for a compatible tow bar with either kit I recommend the Roadmaster...

  • Which Models of a 2017 Ford Edge are Flat Towable
    I did some research on the 2017 Ford Edges and it looks like as long as you have a V6 model it can be flat towed. That includes AWD and FWD models. The 4 cylinders are not flat-towable, yet the 6 cylinders are. For a base plate kit you then would want the part # RM-524454-4 which is a confirmed fit and would work well for a base plate kit. 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....

To flat tow your 2016 Ford Edge Titanium V6 you'll need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, base plate, braking system, and safety cables.

  • Comparing The Roadmaster EZ4 And Roadmaster EZ5 Base Plates For 2017 Ford Edge
    Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-524454-4 is a very similar system to the EZ5 Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-524444-5 which are both a confirmed fit for 2015-2017 Ford Edge SE and SEL models. The difference is the EZ5 has the streamlined design that removes the need for the quick-disconnect crossbar. This baseplate will not work with the Sterling Cables, so the cables need to be attached to the frame of the vehicle. The EZ5 although much cleaner and more hidden...

  • Best Base Plate and Flat Towing Set up for a 2017 Ford Edge
