Expert Reply:

The EZ style base plates you have ordered are compatible with the Roadmaster Sterling Tow Bar, # RM-576, and nothing else is required to aid in ease of installation or removal. The tow bar comes with safety cables and a 6-pole connector. Both the towing and towed vehicles will need a RoadMaster 6-Wire Trailer Connector - Vehicle End, # RM-910030-7.

Finally, you will need to check with the manufacturer for instructions on the proper procedure for towing your vehicle because some vehicles must be equipped with a transmission lube pump, an axle disconnect, drive line disconnect, or free-wheeling hubs before they can be towed.
