If you want your setup to stay out of sight when you’re not towing, this base plate keeps things clean. The brackets sit back within the grille for a low-profile appearance, so there’s no bulky crossbar or hardware sticking out. Once the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and protected from scrapes and scuffs.
Getting connected is fast and straightforward with the twist-lock arms. Each drawbar slides in, clicks to lock, and releases with a built-in pull ring when you’re done towing. No tools or extra pins to fumble with—just twist and go. The setup eliminates the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar, keeping your connection simple and solid.
This base plate kit mounts directly to the frame with no welding required and spreads towing forces evenly across the front end. The all-steel, computer-cut brackets are built for exceptional strength and finished in a black powder coat that resists corrosion. It’s made to handle long hauls and thousands of towing miles with confidence.
Everything you need to get it mounted comes in the box—hardware and detailed instructions included. The custom fit ensures proper alignment on your vehicle’s frame at a bracket height of 19-1/4". With its simple bolt-on design, it’s a solid weekend project that doesn’t require special tools or fabrication.
This direct-connect kit is built specifically for Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch—like the Nighthawk, Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. That precise pairing means fewer parts to manage, smooth operation, and a reliable connection every time you tow.

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.
