• Recommended Braking System and Flat Towing Components For a 2021 Jeep Gladiator With Plastic Bumper
  Yes, the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39524 will fit your 2021 Jeep Gladiator. I recommend this as the best portable system for you. The inclusion of the charge line is definitely nice to have included, and the fold away handle makes it much more compact than the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. Do know that you can add a Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25 to your Gladiator if you already have a Patriot 3. You will also need a 12 Volt Outlet Kit...

• Towing Light Recommendation for 2011 Cadillac SRX with LED Taillights
  I spoke with my contact at Tow Ready and using the Vehicle to Vehicle Taillight Converter, # 118158, on a vehicle with LED taillights can be problematic. Since the LED lights draw less power, it can cause the lights to be faintly lit when they should not be. If you are looking to operate the signal lights on your 2011 Cadillac SRX while it is being towed, I recommend going with Magnetic Tow Lights, # RM-2120. These removable LED lights provide signal lights for your towed car. I have...

  In addition to base plates, tow bar, and wiring, you will also need safety chains and a supplemental braking system to flat-tow your 1997 Geo Tracker 2 door 4x4. The Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 118-15, would be a good option for base plates for your Tracker. The XL Base Plate Kit features removable drawbars so that when the vehicle is not being towed, the base plates are less visible.

• Which Roadmaster Base Plate Kit and Other Parts Do I Need To Flat-Tow My 2005 Saturn Vue
  If your 2005 Saturn Vue has the 4-cylinder engine, you will need Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 3111-1. If you have the 6-cylinder model, you will need Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 3121-1. Note that part # 3121-1 is not compatible with the Redline model. Both Base Plate Kits, part # 3111-1 and # 3121-1 feature removable drawbars, so when the vehicle is not being towed, the base plates are less visible. In addition to base plates, you will also need a tow bar, wiring or lighting...

• Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit 3139-1 Fit a 2007 Saturn Vue with a 5-Speed Manual Transmission
  Yes, base plate kit # 3139-1 would fit your 4-cylinder 2007 Saturn Vue as long as you do not have a brush guard on the front of the vehicle. Once installed, the base plate attachments will sit in the opening that runs behind your vehicle license plate. To wire your Vue to be towed, you would have a couple options. The easiest would be to use a magnetic tow light kit like part # RM-2120. This even provides a standard 4-Way plug for the RV, if needed. The more permanent option would...

• Compatibility of Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar with MX Base Plates
  According to my Roadmaster representative, their older # 5250 Falcon tow bar is indeed compatible with MX base plates. To wire the tow vehicle and the CRV together, there are some different alternatives. A wiring kit like # RM-154 from Roadmaster would permanently tap into the vehicle's wiring. I've linked a video of the install for you. A bulb and socket kit like # RM-155 would permanently install an extra bulb into each taillight assembly. The installation is permanent, but allows the...

• How to Tow a 2000 Chevy S10 Behind a Motor Home as Inexpensively as Possible
  There is certain equipment required by law to flat tow a vehicle. That equipment includes base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. If you just need to tow the 2000 Chevy S10 once or twice, the expense is likely not worth it. But if you flat tow the truck often behind a motor home then you are going to need these items. Check the S10 owners manual to see if it can be dolly towed (with the front wheels up on a dolly). If so you could rent or otherwise obtain...

• Base Plate and Tow Bar Recommendation for a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu
  Of the base plate options that fit your 2011 Chevrolet Malibu I recommend the Roadmaster EZ base plate kit because the installation will be a little easier and will not require you to remove and reinstall the headlights. The EZ base plates are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. The Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520, is our most popular Roadmaster tow bar. Along with a base plate kit and tow bar, you need safety cables, tow bar wiring and a supplemental braking system to complete your flat...

• Base Plate Recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape Using a Falcon 5250 Tow Bar
  For your 2011 Ford Escape, I would recommend using the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 4414-1. These base plates are compatible with the Falcon tow bars without requiring the use of an adapter. If you are using your Falcon tow bar from an older application, you may also need the Quick Disconnect Base Assembly, # 910021-00. This base comes with the tow bars, but they are often left or sold with the previous vehicles. After doing some research on your vehicle, I found that Ford does place...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Ford F-150 King Ranch with LED Tail Lights Behind an RV
  For tow bar wiring for your 2016 Ford F-150 I recommend going with a magnetic kit # RM-2120. The issue is that the diode kits and converters that go with them are not rated for use with LED tail lights. The best option then is going to be a magnetic kit. And having a wireless system means you won't have to run any wires or worry about complicated installations on the truck. Since the lights are magnetic you may need to use tow light partners # TLP01 in the windows of the truck if the lights...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty for Just 2 Miles
  There isn't a tow bar that will attach to the plow or the mounting structure for the plow. I can tell you all the parts you will need but honestly, if it is just a one-time need, you would be better off having the truck towed. It will save you a lot of money. Because to flat tow a vehicle behind another vehicle requires base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For a 2 mile trip, you can get away with not having to use supplemental braking. I will tell...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Smart fortwo Passion
  The first thing you will want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the proper towing procedure of the vehicle. From the research I did, the car should be flat towable as is but you will still want to confirm by checking the owners manual. The Blue Ox base plate kit that fits your 2009 Smart fortwo does require trimming of spoiler, air dam, grill or plastic fascia on some models. There's a fair amount of mechanical aptitude needed for installation and I recommend having...

The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 is an excellent choice to tow your 1994 Ford Ranger.

• Flat Towing Wiring Harness Options for 2012 Fiat 500
  There are two ways you could wire your Fiat 500 for flat towing. In scenario # 1, you could use a 4 diode kit like # RM-15247 which would use your tail lights as stop/turn/brake lamps. Your lights would work normally when actually driving the Fiat, but when you're flat towing, you'd only use the red bulb on the back of the Fiat for all the taillight functions. Scenario # 2, if you wanted the taillights on the Fiat to operate 'normally', that is to have the turn signals use the amber bulb...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Behind a Motor Home
  The capacity of any given trailer hitch is set in stone whether it is a weld-on application or a bolt on. So basically, since your 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee weighs 6,150 pounds, trailer hitch # 13703 would not be sufficient. You will want to look at heavy duty truck hitches, see link, and have it installed by a professional welder. After you have a hitch with enough capacity installed you can then get all the items needed to flat tow the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee. You will need base plates,...

  I also checked the owner's manual for the 2015 Ford Fusion Hybrid and Energi models (they share the same owner's manual) and you can flat tow it with all 4 wheels on the ground. Make sure to follow the instructions outlined in the recreational towing section of the manual. The first part you will need is base plates.

  For Roadmaster base plates # 118-8 for your 2-door 1997 Geo Tracker you can use any Roadmaster tow bar. The most popular tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. But if you were looking for something a little more cost effective you could use the Tracker tow bar to tow your Tracker, # RM-020. You will also need safety cables, # RM-643.
