When you’re not towing, the front end stays clean and uncluttered. The direct-connect brackets sit tucked back within the grille, leaving no bulky crossbar or visible hardware. Once you pull the drawbars out, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and protected from scuffs and scrapes. It keeps your vehicle looking stock without giving up strength or convenience.
Getting ready to tow doesn’t need to be a pain. Each drawbar slides into the bracket, clicks to lock, and secures with an easy twist. When it’s time to unhook, just pull the built-in ring to release and twist it free. It’s a quick, tool-free connection that makes setup simple, even if you’re working alone or dealing with uneven ground.
This base plate is built from computer-cut steel for a precise fit and outstanding strength. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion so it stays looking sharp through road trips and weather. The design mounts directly to the frame with no welding required, spreading stress evenly across the chassis for reliable towing mile after mile.
No more bulky crossbars or extra pieces to manage. The direct-connect style lets your motor-home-mounted Roadmaster tow bar—such as the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, Falcon 2, or Nighthawk—attach straight to the brackets. That means fewer parts to store and faster hookups every time you get ready to roll.
You don’t need specialized equipment or fabrication work to mount it. The kit comes with installation instructions and all necessary hardware so you can bolt it up cleanly to the frame. It’s a straightforward project that leaves you with a professional-looking setup that’s ready for dependable use on every trip.
Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, Falcon 2, or Nighthawk. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.

I’ve pulled the Chevy behind our motor home several times over a the last year. It has worked excellent. And when not in tow the tubing is barely noticeable.

Wow great job Crystal! It looks great! Also, I couldn’t help but notice “Ski Express” on the car, that’s pretty cool. What kind of work do you do?

Which trim is your 2026 Chevy Trax? Per Roadmaster, the # RM25EQ (523228-5) fits all trims of the 2026 Trax except the ACTIV trim....

It’s been a great year. No problems with the base plate. Works great with my tow bar. Towed my trailblazer from Texas to North Dakota and back, and several short trips.

Disappointed that the Guardian grill cover wouldn’t work with this setup. Had to purchase the fabric rock shield.
