Recommendation of Base Plate Kit and Tow Bar for 2009 Honda Fit
Question:
I want to tow a Honda Fit behind my motor home. Do you have the base plate assembly for this car. I understand according to my owners manual that I can tow it with the auto transmission. What tow bar do you suggest?

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, item # 521190-1, is the base plate kit you will need for your 2009 Honda Fit. With this base plate kit you will need a tow bar and safety cables and tow bar wiring for your vehicle.
If you are towing infrequently, you can use the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, item # RM-020, and if you are going to be towing often you will like the convenience of the RoadMaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, item # RM-520, which allows you to quickly and easily connect and disconnect the tow bar from the vehicle.
For infrequent towing you can use a Magnetic Towing Light Kit, item # RM-2120, or for more frequent towing you can use the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit, item # RM-154, or the RoadMaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs, item # RM-155, which requires enough room to install two bulbs in the vehicle taillights, but bypasses the towed vehicle wiring completely so there are no issues with cutting and splicing into the vehicles wiring.
