I had to convert from Roadmaster to Blue Ox. The part was exact. Delivered on time. You guys have done a lot of planning with carriers. Now I can tow my car with my RV. Thank you.



by:

Very easy to install and looks great after installation



by:

Now both my 2018 Jeep Cherokee and my Miata are set up to tow. etrailer has been sup in answering any questions I had to make sure I got the correct parts. Kevin D worked with me and was great. Everything is installed and ready for my next trip. The web site is super-easy to find what you need and the prices are great, with very fast shipping.



by:

Super fast delivery of needed parts. Thanks for all your help.



by:

Product looks robust, easy to install. One thing, cannot remove arms with adapter attached. Have to uninstall so arms are loose. This does not allow thread locker. probably the quick unit, (more money), would be more practical. Will work around it.



by:

Shipping was fast. Only problem was some paint flaked off of the base plate before being installed. It's going to get dinged anyway so, touch up paint is expected.



by:

I've purchased from etrailer for many years. They are always great and this was no exception. After a little confusion with one rep I worked with another and have just received all I need for a new flat-tow package for my RV/Jeep. Meghan was able to help me figure out how to use my existing tow bar with an adapter, which saved me a good bit. I highly recommend etrailer!!!!

I work for a Drive-Away service and do a lot of towing behind a varied assortment of tow vehicles..The items mentioned in this Email have been performing flawlessly since I purchased them. When several of us go on a big job, I am hooked up and ready to roll while they are still struggling with magnetic lights etc. The job is so much simpler when it is done right.



by:

This adapter bar matches perfect from the Roadmaster tow brackets to the Blue Ox tow bar from the RV. I use this adapter on two different vehicle makes we flat tow.



by:

looks like it will bolt right quite sim ply

I had Blue Ox tow system bought a vehicle that had Roadmaster plates bought a Roadmaster adapter to my Blue Ox tow bar to make it work on the vehicle everything worked out perfect as a matter of fact the sales agent had sold me a part that I did not need I was able to call and send it back for a full refund on that part that was not necessary very grateful very easy to do business with prompt on time and save me a lot of money from having to exchange everything over from Blue Ox to Roadmaster very satisfied customer



by:

I am preparing to tow my 1993 Miata behind a motorhome. After some research I decided to rely on Roadmaster products because they manufactured base plates for the Miata. Initially I purchased a Roadmaster Tracker bar that uses a 2 inch ball to connect. Later I encountered a Blux Ox Aventa on Craigslist that I felt would be better because it has a receiver connection that cannot work lose on rough roads. To make that work I had to purchase the RM-033 adapter bar.

In retrospect I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar to avoid about $100 of adapters that I needed to make my current system operate. My first towing experience so lots of rookie errors at my expense. BTW, even with my very light Miata, using the Roadmaster LX base plates, the Falcon tow bar, safety cables and tow lights, the setup costs about $1000 and some states require a supplementary brake system that is really pricy. Love my 1993 Miata, which is probably now worth about a $1000, so I hope it appreciates all I am doing to tow it along on my trips.

E-trailer has provided excellent service for this and an earlier order for the Tracker tow bar. With the free shipping, the pricing is very fair.



by:

Instructions were very good for the installation on my 2010 Honda CRV for both the baseplate and the blue ox adapter. Fit and finish were good. Product arrived as promised. Minimal tools were needed, but installation with the vehicle on the garage concrete floor was probably a little more tedious than that on a lift. I would say that you do need some mechanical talents to do this on your own. It was worth the monetary savings for me to install these products.



by:

Adam and the folks at etrailer were excellent. The fast shipping was notable; which I believe that Adam made it happen, (he is a professional, indeed). Thanks alot

Just fine. I installed it and forgot it. However I do recommend using the same brand Roadmaster tow bar with this base plate not the Blue Ox tow bar! Believe it or not + I have found a flaw with the Blue Ox.



by:

well constructed . very pleased with this product. as always e-trailer #1



by:

Ordered additional items for tow bar mounts. Carmel was very helpful. I couldn't figure out which items I need to go from Roadmaster to Blue Ox. She give me the part numbers after searching their data base and ordered what I needed. Order was sent right out and I received the items three days later.



by:

Cathy was very helpful in finding the best product for my need. She took the time to go through all the possible tow bar adapters and find the one that worked best to tow my custom steel bumper Suzuki with the Dominator tow bar. I also saved 50% off the cost from the OEM price! I will definitely use etrailer again!



by:

This adapter fit my blue ox tow bar perfectly. I don't know about it's overall performance strength wise until I put a few thousand miles on it.



by:

Excellent service, communication shipping, and fit to my application on my 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon. Roadster base plate to a Demco towbar.



by:

super easy to change from road master to blue ox bolted right on worked great



by:

Well built and fits perfectly. Quality product I expect to last a long time.



by:

Very pleased with the service provided. Nicole researched the part for me and it fits perfectly. Took me about 15 min to install correctly. Thanks for the professional experience.



by:

So easy to put on.
It took longer to
open the box.

Every part from those E trailer folks is perfect

  • Can Blue Ox Tow Bar be Used With Roadmaster Base Plates on 1998 Jeep Cherokee
    So long as your Blue Ox tow bar is one of the following - Acclaim, Adventurer, Aladdin, Alexxa, Allure, Alpha, Ambassador, Avail, Aventa, Aventa II, Aventa LX, or Kar Bar - you an absolutely use an adapter with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1418-1. These base plates, which do fit your 1998 Jeep Cherokee, are the "XL" model base plates, so you will need both an adapter and quick disconnects for your Blue Ox tow bar: - RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars...

    For your 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the factory steel bumper we have the Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-521453-5 as a confirmed fit that has removable arms which help give it a more concealed look.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing....

    The 2011 GMC Terrain FWD can be flat towed behind your motorhome if you have the six speed automatic transmission. Also, you are correct, the Discrete Logic Ignition Switch fuse (fuse #32) needs to be removed from the instrument panel fuse box. The instrument panel fuse box is located on the passenger side of the center console, behind a cover. That fuse needs to be removed to keep the battery from being drained when towing. With that done you should be able to flat tow your Terrain with...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1997 Ford F-250HD 4X4 7.3 Liter Behind an RV
    There are many configurations of the 1997 Ford F-250HD 4x4 7.3 so it will depend on how much your truck weighs. The Excali-Bar tow bar, # DM9511008, is rated for 7,500 pounds so if the truck is under that you can use it. It is likely that it is less than 7,500 pounds but it is worth mentioning! For base plates you would need to use # 458-1 if your truck does not have a front anti-sway bar. If you use the # 458-1 base plates then you would also need adapter # BX88185 to use the Avail tow...

The Roadmaster adapter does not so to use it with Roadmaster XL or EZ style base plates, you would need to add them, # RM-201. However, there is a third alternative that comes from Roadmaster.
