Looking for Replacement Arms for Base Plate Kit of 2017 Jeep Cherokee  

Updated 09/29/2026 | Published 09/28/2026

Question:

I purchased a 2017 Cherokee Trailhawk basically set up for flat tow but the dealer I bought it from didn have the twist lock pins. I dont see any markings as to what brand the base plate is but the holes at 1.5inch and 3inch to the forward face of the lock slot and 3 3/8 inch to the back of the lock slot. The pins are bigger than the Blue Ox base plate pins are on my 2013 Grand Cherokee. Any idea what base plate this is or can you recommend replacement pins?

Hey AL, thanks for the pictures! From seeing that I can tell what you have is a Roadmaster base plate kit setup so to get a set of replacement arms you would need the part # RM-ARMS. The exact base plate kit you have appears to be the part # RM-521446-5

Is there twist lock pins that can be used to connect to a Blue Ox tow bar? I already have 2 of those tow bars.

@AlH What you would need is an adapter like the part # BX88185 to go from a Roadmaster base plate to a Blue Ox tow bar.

@JamesonC So I would need part number C002383 to put in my base plate and then the BX88185 to adapt to my Blue Ox tow bar?
