2012 Scion xB - Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Hitch Pin Attachment
  • Partially Hidden

The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your Scion xB's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.


Features:

  • Hidden bracket design - drawbars are easily removable via 2 pins
    • Improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster tow bars with use of quick-disconnect crossbar (910021-00 - sold separately)
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. 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 a 2012 Scion xB Behind and RV
    To flat tow your 2012 Scion xB behind an RV you will need the base plates and tow bar like you mentioned as well as safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For a tow bar compatible with Roadmaster base plates # 1187-1A (with arm height at approximately 13 inches) I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520. This tow bar makes hooking up and disconnecting easier when you are not on perfectly level ground or straight. I have linked a video review for you. The video explains how the tow...

  • What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Scion xB with Manual Transmission and No Fog Lights
    The first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual for the proper procedure on towing the vehicle. If you find that the vehicle can be flat towed you will need 5 items. First, you will need base plates. These provide a safe and secure attachment point on the vehicle for a tow bar. For your xB without fog lights, you would need Roadmaster base plates, # 1187-1A. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. Next, you will need a compatible...

  • Parts Needed To Flat-Tow a 2009 Scion xB
    The 2009 Scion xB with a manual transmission is indeed flat-towable. I checked in your owner's manual and when setting up the vehicle for this they say to put the selector lever in neutral and turn the engine switch to the “ACC” position. In order to equip the vehicle for flat towing you will need quite a few parts which I have attached for you below if you are interested: Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # 1187-1A Roadmaster 64"...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Scion xB Behind a Motor Home with Stowmaster Tow Bar
    The Roadmaster MX base plates # 1187-3A will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver such as the Falcon 2 # RM-520. The Stowmaster tow bar couples to a ball so would not work. If you already have a Stowmaster tow bar you can use base plates # 1187-1A instead for your 2008 Scion xB and they will work together. You will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow the xB. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Scion xB
    The difference between MX and XL base plates is the attachment style. The XL can fit all Roadmaster tow bars and the MX can only fit ones that install in a 2 inch hitch opening. The MX style doesn't require the use of a crossbar. Because more tow bars are compatible with the XL kits we tend to recommend them more although some say the MX kits are a bit easier to use. For your 2008 Scion xB you would want the part # 1187-1A. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Scion xB
    For flat towing your 2014 Scion xB you will first need to start with a base plate kit. For that the Roadmaster part # 1187-1A is a confirmed fit that would work well. This will provide the connection point for the tow bar. You would not be able to use the tow hooks. 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. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. For safety...

  • Recommended Base Plates And Flat-Towing Equipment For 2010 Scion xB
    Since you said you have the Roadmaster Sterling Towbar # RM-576, I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 1187-1A. This will work with all Roadmaster towbars and quick disconnects. This is designed for your 2010 Scion xB with no foglights. I also recommend the Roadmaster coiled safety cables, part # RM-643. For lighting I recommend the Tow Ready Diode System, part # TR118821. This splices directly into the vehicle wiring and includes the wiring harness, mounting bracket,...

  • Tow Bar, Base Plates and Accessories Recommendation for the 2010 Scion xB
    The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 1187-1A, is a complete base plate kit and the draw bars are not interchangeable amongst base plate kits. If you need a tow bar for towing a 2008-2010 Scion xB, with the # 1187-1A base plate kit, I would recommend the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - 6,000 lbs, item # RM-520. This is our most popular tow bar and is easy to connect and disconnect from the towed vehicle. You will also need wiring, a power cord and safety cables to complete your towing setup....
