Question:
Setting up to flat tow 2016 Mini Cooper S with BX1312. Which is the correct product, RM 4700 or RM 4750. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Hey Mike, you're going to want to use the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen for Towed Vehicles # RM-4750 since # BX1312 is a direct connect base plate which means you'd use a direct connect tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # RM-525.
But, If you have a crossbar style tow bar that uses quick connects then you'd need # RM-4700.
If you're needing to complete your setup then you're also going to need a braking system, like the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System # BLU37TR using the 12v kit # RM-9332, and a wiring harness # RM-15267.
