Question:
I have a Roadmaster Black hawk 2 all terrain tow bar and we just bought a 2021 f150. Would you let me know what base plate I will need to purchase? Thank you.

Hey Troy,
For your 2021 Ford F-150 you will want to go with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM38VR. These base plates work directly with Roadmaster tow bars. I will add the installation for these does require drilling into the frame, but I did attach a video of them being installed on a 2021 F-150 so you can see what the installation will entail.
Do you need any other parts of that flat tow system?
