Question:
I already have a Falcon All-Terrain 6,000 lb tow bar. I plan to tow a 15 Scion xB. Is the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # 1187-3A compatible with my tow bar? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1187-3A you were looking at for your 2015 Scion xB will work perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 you have.
To complete your flat tow setup you will need wiring, a supplemental braking system, and safety cables if you do not already have them. I recommend the following parts:
Wiring: Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Wire to 6-Wire Straight Cord # RM-152-98146-7
Supplemental Braking System: Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR
Safety Cables: Roadmaster 64" Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables - 8,000 lbs # RM-645
You will also more than likely need a high-low adapter to level your tow bar to your tow vehicle so I have included a link to a helpful article that goes over how to measure for the correct adapter, and a link to all of our high-low adapters for you to take a look at.
It is always a good idea to check the recreational towing section of your vehicles owner's manual for any flat towing restrictions and for any special steps required to make your vehicle ready to be flat towed.
I included videos for each of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
