Question:

I have a 2014 Honda CRV. Does this baseplate come with the crossbar ? This is the “crossbar” model but I don’t see it anywhere in the pictures ? If not, seems like a needed component is missing ???

The crossbar style of Roadmaster base plate kits like the part # RM-521567-4 do not actually come with a crossbar but instead attach to tow bars that have crossbars like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 part # RM-520.

Or if you prefer not to use the crossbar attachment you can use a Direct Connect base plate kit like the part # RM-521567-5 which bypasses the crossbar attachment of the tow bar. The Falcon 2 can also be used with this but just without the crossbar.
