• Tow Bar & Base Plates for 2004 Honda CR-V

If you do not have base plates already you'll probably want to make that selection before choosing a tow bar. We have base plates for your 2004 Honda CR-V shown on the linked page. We have models that will work with or without...

• Recommended Base Plates and System to Flat Tow a 2002 Honda CR-V
  For your Roadmaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576 on your 2002 Honda CR-V, I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 1541-1 if you don't have the factory brush guard or the # 1541-3 if you do have the factory brush guard.

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2006 Honda Element with a Sterling Tow Bar
  The Roadmaster XL base plates, # 1541-1, are compatible with a 2006 Honda Element (not EX-P models) and the Sterling tow bar. The EX-P models just have a different design and require their own style base plates to fit. So after base plates and the tow bar, the next item you will need is safety cables if you do not already have some (the Sterling tow bar should have come with some). I recommend using straight cables # RM-645 to fit in the channels in the tow bar. Next you will need a...

  Both the Roadmaster # 1541-1 and the # 1541-3 are compatible fits for your 2002 Honda CR-V, but these are the older crossbar-style so instead you'll want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 1541-5.

• Flat Towing a 2003 Honda CRV
  According to our friends at Remco Towing, the 2003 is flat towable without modifications. You should refer to the owners manual section regarding Emergency Towing for guidelines.

• Recommended Equipment for Flat Towing 1999 Suzuki Vitara
  I believe you were referring to the Tow Ready # 63180 tow bar. The two issues you'd face is the 45 mph speed limit and the fact that although the tow bar has brackets of a sort, using a base plate kit like # 1012-1 is recommended, along with a tow bar like the Roadmaster Tracker, part # RM-020. If the manufacturer states that the tow bar should not be used at speeds above 45 mph, I cannot say anything that would contradict that. You'll also need safety cables like part # RM-643, a wiring...
