Does RoadMaster Base Plate Kit Part 524407-1 Include a TowBar and Will It Require Bumper Trimming

Question:

does this product come with a tow bar or is it just the mount bracket, and will it work on a 2006 ford focus ZX4 SES with the street visual package it does not have a stock bumper

RoadMaster Base Plate kit, part # 524407-1, only includes the base plates and corresponding installation hardware. It does not include a tow bar or any wiring. You would need to purchase a tow bar separately like part # RM-020.

Installing part # 524407-1 will require trimming the lower grille on a stock bumper. It would be safe to assume that it would also require trimming on any aftermarket, factory option or dealer installed body package, but I do not know how much trimming or where since the manufacturer creates the instruction sheet on a basic factory vehicle.
