Question:

I have a Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar and recently purchased a 2015 VW Passat. I need the tow brackets for the Passat but it appears the Blue Ox is the only option. I believe the BX3833 the correct base plate, do I also need an adaptor to go between the Roadmaster bar and the Blue Ox base plate? Thanks,

Expert Reply:

Currently the only base plate kit available for the 2015 Volkswagen Passat is the Blue Ox base plate part # BX3833. To use this base plate with your Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar # RM-522 all you need is the correct adapter. For that you would want the part # BX88151 and you would be good to go.

I attached a helpful article on flat towing for you to check out as well.
