Question:
I am looking at a new toad for my RV. I currently have a 2012 fiat with a roadmaster base plate with an ID 522013-1. I am looking at a 2018 honda fit or a 2021 honda civic. What are the correct base plates for those that will match my roadmaster tow device? thanks in advance

Expert Reply:
Hey Robert, congrats on the potential upgrade. The Roadmaster item # 522013-1A you have is a crossbar style baseplate.
For a 2018 Honda Fit, you'll need the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit item # RM-521571-4. Please note that only the manual transmission models can be flat towed.
For a 2021 Honda Civic, the only option for a baseplate is the Blue Ox item # BX2265. Again, only the manual transmission models can be flat towed.
What make and model towbar do you have because you'll need an adapter to use the Blue Ox item # BX2265?
