Question:

I have a StowMaster 5000 tow bar and am trying to figure out what I need to hook it up to my 2004 Toyota Corolla. Currently, I do not have any base plates and I do not know which ones to get. The StowMaster 5000 appears to have a crossbar built in but mine is missing the large pins for securing it to the vehicle. Please advise what products I need to get this thing hooked up. Many thanks!

This base plate kit is confirmed to fit your Corolla and is compatible with the StowMaster tow bar. We also have the replacement linch pins # RM-910024. I have also listed out other parts needed for flat towing your Corolla below:
