Can Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit RM-524431-5 Be Used with Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar
Question:
Can this RM-576 be connected to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Item # RM-524431-5 on a F-150? Would we omit the crossbar that attaches to the base plate?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524431-5 on your 2018 Ford F-150 will work perfectly with the Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576. You are correct that when hooking up to the base plate arms you will remove the crossbar on the Sterling All Terrain, as the tow bar arms will hook up directly to the Roadmaster base plates.
This does allow for a much simpler hookup process. You can simply keep the quick-disconnect crossbar in storage in case you ever need to hookup with crossbar style base plates in the future. I have attached a couple video demonstrations on these products below that you can also check out.
