To remove, simply twist the arms back and pull them out. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets offer a streamlined look. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

2014 GMC Acadia

Installed on 2014 GMC Acadia. Very sturdy and heavy duty base plate. I installed it myself. You will need a little automotive knowledge and more tools then the average do it yourself-er. It took about 6 hours, by myself. It looks more intimidating then it turned out to be. You can't see it when not in use which makes it nice for the wife, since it's her car.
Pictures show the tow bar adapter. Sorry, no pictures of adapter removed.

Was easy to install and instructions were accurate and clear for my Traverse. Very pleased with this product.

It worked great, and would still be working if the motor had not blown for the second time in less than a year! Just ordered another one for my replacement car.

Haven’t installed yet, but shipping was very fast

Buick

I don't remember if these were for installing on the Buick or the MG.

If they were for the MG, I have used them a good many times and they are fine.

If they are or the Buick, I have not used them yet. I just need to finish up the wiring and the aux brakes for it.

Thanks for asking. I installed them without a problem with the intention of pulling the Buick behind the motor home till I realized the Buick was 1000 over the tow limit of the hitch on the motor home so wound up never using them. If I ever need to tow it, they are there.



by:

I always buy from Etrailer. Products always as described and fit. Always use their informative videos. Staff is informative and very helpful.



by:

I called in the afternoon and the lady said it wood shipped that day which is normally not the case. But it was shipped that very day. The other thing I had called Road Master and they had gave me the part # for the rubber caps that goes on the end of the hitch which the order lady said wasn't right. She put me on hold and called Road Master and she came back and Road Master had gave me the number for the 1 1/4" instead of the 1 1/2" that I needed. Now that is what I call good service. I sorry I forgot her name but she deserves a Atta boy.
Thanks again for the great service



by:

Here is an example of a Manufacture (Roadmaster) protecting their dealers, even though we are installers we are required to purchase from distributers, It is much easier to purchase from a quality E Dealer with a easy and complete web page than to spend my time walking into a local RV store and be frustrated with incompetent help. Thank you etrailer.....

Great, Great job!!!

Great people to deal with. Order rec'd sooner than expected and the Roadmaster equipment was excellent.



by:

The instructions were very good, the video was excellent. If I could make a recommendation, it was a little lacking at the end. Since the Smart car is virtually held together with push pins a little more time spent putting the car back together wourl have been helpful. I'm all done and I have 2 push pins left over and don't know where they go.



by:

I received the base plate for my Miata at 4:30 Monday by 7:00 it was installed and ready to go.A great product fit very nicely.Ordering and follow up went great can’t wait to try it out Just need to decide on the tow bar we will use.The Falcon or Sterling .Thank you for a great product and service.



by:

Installation is a bit involved but worth every second of it for the peace of mind while driving. Had a slight issue with my ordering incorrect parts but these guys went above and beyond to get it resolved in time to not miss my trip. Even rush manufactured them due to not being in stock!! Great company to do business with.



by:

This system worked perfectly from experience. They help from trailers e trailer agents was crucial for guiding me through the process.

  • What Baseplate Will Fit A 2011 GMC Acadia Denali
    The Blue Ox BX1696 is the discontinued so it's not a viable option for your 2011 GMC Acadia Denali and with the Blue Ox # BX1675 not being compatible with Denali models you're stuck switching to a different branded baseplate. I did speak with Blue Ox about why it doesn't fit and was simply told the front end setup is slightly different on the Denali's and that it just won't line up correctly. Looking at the differences between the baseplates that do fit Denali's it looks to me like it has...

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2011 GMC Acadia
    First you will need a base plate kit made specifically for your vehicle. For your Acadia use the crossbar-style Roadmaster # 523149-1 base plates. Next you will need a tow bar. I recommend the Roadmaster # RM-522 “Falcon” All Terrain and Non-Binding tow bar rated for 6000 pounds. A non-binding tow bar will let you easily disconnect your tow bar even if your coach and towed vehicle is not on level ground or at a difficult angle. When your coach and towed vehicle are hitched together on...

  • Everything Needed to Flat Tow A 2014 GMC Acadia Behind RV
    I took a look at the online owner's manual for your 2014 GMC Acadia. It states if the vehicle is either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, it can be flat towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. I just recommend verifying this information in your copy of the owner's manual, as it's possible that you have a slightly different model Acadia. The owner's manual will also detail the correct procedures and steps to take before heading out on your trip. In order to flat tow your 2014 GMC Acadia...

    Yes, I did some checking and the all wheel drive models of the 2012 Buick Enclave can be flat towed. You'll want to first start with a base plate kit confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. For that you'd want the part # 523149-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the...

This base plate kit is compatible with the Roadmaster StowMaster # RM-501. Keep in mind that you will need to make sure you also have a Safety Cable Set # RM-643, Tow Bar Wiring # RM-15247, and since most states now require a Supplemental Braking System it would be good to have one as well.

There should be a sticker on the hitch but if not the capacity is probably in the RV literature. Assuming that the RV and hitch are rated high enough you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to tow your 2013 Buick Enclave. Starting with the base plates # 523149-1 is an excellent choice. The arms can be removed when not...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2012 GMC Acadia Behind an RV and Carry 4 Bikes and Kayaks
    Weight carrying is the gross trailer weight capacity of the hitch. Weight distribution is a device used to better distribute the tongue weight from a trailer to all axles of the tow vehicle and trailer. It produces more stress in certain places on the trailer frame and tow vehicle. As such some vehicles/hitches are not rated for use with weight distribution. Dinghy towing means flat towing or towing a vehicle with all of its wheels on the ground. So basically your trailer hitch is rated...
