Video Transcript for Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets Installation - 2005 Buick Rendezvous
Today on our 2005 Buick Rendezvous we'll be installing the Blue Ox baseplate adapter brackets for Roadmaster tow bars, part number BX88151. To install the baseplate adapter brackets, we'll first need to remove the attachment brackets that are already on the tow bar. To remove them, we'll go ahead and take the bolt out of the bracket and then remove the bracket completely. Now to install the new baseplate bracket, we'll take the bolt go through the bracket, then through one of the plastic flat washers down through the tow bar installing a second flat washer between the tow bar and the bracket pushing our bolt all the way through the bracket and securing with the nylon lock nut underneath. Once we have the hardware in place, we'll go ahead and tighten it down. We'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the other side. Next we'll torque to specifications as indicated in the instructions.
With the new brackets installed onto the tow bar, we'll go ahead and install it on to the baseplate. We'll line the triple lug bracket up with the baseplate arm, install the large pin going through the bracket and the arm and securing with the safety pin on the inside. As we install the roll pin into the triple lug bracket, we'll line it up with the groove designed in the bracket and then install the safety pin. We'll go ahead and repeat the same process on the other side. With both sides installed, we're now ready to tow. That does it for the install of the Blue Ox baseplate adapter brackets for Roadmaster tow bars, part number BX88151 on our 2005 Buick Rendezvous.

All blue ox was much lighter weight than Roadmaster & a little more difficult to attach & binds often when detaching. Everything has worked so far with a little more effort.

For a hitch, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13182. You'll also need a ball mount and a trailer ball, provided in the # 989900 etrailer ball mount kit. For a brake controller, I'd go with the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake controller. The Echo will communicate wirelessly with your smart phone, which you'll use to control the braking action of the trailer. For a vehicle equipped...

Roadmaster offers two types of removable-arm base plates, for both Pilots with and without brush guards. If your Pilot has the brush guards you will use # 1544-3 and if it does not have them you will instead use # 1544-1.

Since the Roadmaster Falcon 2 # RM-520 is rated for 6,000 lbs you have 1,344 lbs that you can put inside your Acadia before you have maxed out the tow bar. Naturally you will want avoid maxing out the weight so that your tow bar isn't straining. I recommend putting no...
view full answer... - Recommended Base Plate Kit for 2011 Jeep Liberty 4x4 and Roadmaster Falcon II Tow BarFor your 2011 Jeep Liberty, you need base plates to connect to your Falcon II tow bar. For compatible base plates I recommend the Demco Tabless Base Plat Kit # DM9519222. This base plate will work well with your tow bar and will give you the easiest connections to your vehicle. The Blue Ox # BX1976 will fit your Jeep but you would then need adapters like # BX88151 or # RM-031 and not have the better connection. If you need other components to complete your flat towing package, let me know.

I would need the same information to recommend a different tow bar or base plate kit.
