Question:
Hello, I’m purchasing a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek manual transmission to flat tow behind an RV. Is there a base plate for the 2023 Crosstrek that doesn’t require cutting the frame? It looks like the Blue Ox base plate requires modifications to the frame. Thank you,

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-52927-5 is what I recommend for a 2023 Subaru Crosstrek as the option with least amount of modifications required. The only drilling/cutting into the frame that is required is enlarging an existing hole on each side but that is it and pretty minor as far as most base plate kit installations go. This will then pair perfectly with a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676. I have attached some other parts you'll need below as well.
Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit part # RM-154
Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System part # HM39524
