Which Safety Cables to Use with Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
Updated 09/26/2025 | Published 04/27/2025
Question:
I have installed a Roadmaster Basepalte on my 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid. I decided to reuse my Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bars. How do I determine the proper length for my safety cables? Do I just measure the distance from the connection point on my base plate to the connection point on my motorhome to get the proper length for safety cables?

Hey Karl, a set of 68 inch long safety cables like the part # RM-643 would be what you'd want. There aren't really a whole lot of different length cables for different setups so its best to just go with this set which is what Roadmaster recommends with the Falcon.
