Question:

This is correct. The Roadmaster # RM-344-3B Base Plate Kit will fit on a 2015 Nissan Frontier S, King Cab 4 Cylinder, 2wd manual transmission vehicle. These direct-connect base plates will work only with the Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Sterling # RM-576, Blackhawk or Blackhawk 2 # RM-422, Falcon # RM-522 and Falcon 2 # RM-520 . These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball. If you'd like to tow with a different tow bar than the ones mentioned above, please let me know and I can recommend different base plates that will work. If you don't already have a complete flat towing setup, you'll need a couple more items: supplemental braking, safety chains, lights and high/low adapter. If you can let me know what other items you might need I can help make some recommendations for you.

I've compiled a list of the parts that I recommend using to round out your flat towing setup for your 2015 Nissan Frontier and 2019 Allegro 37 BA. It looks like you still need lights, supplemental braking, safety cables and a high low adapter. To start, you'll need some safety cables for your tow bar; I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-645-76 which are 76" and have an 8000-lbs capacity. These will provide the strength of steel and the security of spring-loaded clasps for an easy to use and durable set of cables. For lights, I recommend using the Pilot Magnetic Wireless Tow Lights # NV-5164 because they provide you with an easy to connect solution that can be transferred between tow vehicles if the need arises. This is a wireless lighting system that are controlled wirelessly through your motor home's 7 way connector- no need to wire anything into your vehicle lights. I love this solution because of the ease of installation and use. For supplemental braking, I recommend using the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR which provides a proportional braking system that will install and remove easily with no invasive wiring on your vehicles- it connects to your toad's 12v auxiliary outlet for power. This braking system communicates between the two vehicles with a long range RF radio signal for reliability and allows you to adjust the sensitivity that your toad brakes with. There's a good chance you will need a high/low adapter to provide a level connection between your RV and toad. I've provided a link to a helpful article that shows how you'll want to measure to determine if you need a rise/drop, as well as the link to all of our high/low adapters so that you can choose the appropriate one. I've also linked a few other helpful articles on supplemental braking and the basics of flat towing that you may find helpful when getting started, as well as review and product informational videos.
