EZ4 or EZ5 Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2013 Honda CR-V

Question:

I was towing a 2005 Honda CRV with a Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar. I am replacing that vehicle with a 2013 Honda CRV and I see 3 different base plates to fit that the 2013: EZ2, EZ5 and EZ4. Will all three of these work with the Roadmaster Falcon 5250 tow bar? If so, which one is recommended?

For your 2013 Honda CR-V there are two options for base plate kits. Both of which would work with the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar part # RM-520 that you have already.

The EZ4 part # RM-521567-4 is probably the set up that is the most similar to what you already have. It requires the crossbar of the Falcon to be used. If instead you don't want to use the crossbar you would want the EZ5 part # RM-521567-5. If it were me I would go with the EZ5 since you wouldn't have to use the crossbar and the connect/disconnect process is a bit easier. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
