2018 Dodge Durango RT Base Plate Kit to Fit with Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 Tow Bar  

Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/01/2024

Question:

I have a Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 towbar on my motorhome. I need a baseplate for my 2018 Dodge Durango RT. I see two baseplates on the website: RM-521449-4 and RM-521449-5. Can you tell me the difference and/or which one I need. Also, can you point me to any baseplate installation videos for my vehicle. Thank you!

Hey Christopher, thanks for reaching out!

Your Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 matches up better with the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521449-5, whereas you'd need an adapter for the Kit # RM-521449-4 to match up properly and allow you to tow your 2018 Dodge Durango RT.

I'm not seeing that we have any installation videos of any base plate kits on a 2018 Dodge Durango as of yet, but the linked installation instructions have some pictures in them you can reference for the install.

Please note that we have this Tech Tip in our fitguide - See your local dealer for wiring harness information if your vehicle needs MOPAR RV towing wiring harness kit #82216418AA.

Hey Christopher, how did things go with the Roadmaster base plate kit for your Durango RT? Were the instructions clear enough to get everything matched up with your BlackHawk 2 tow bar? Your update could make it easier for others setting up a similar combo.
