The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your Ford Ranger's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.
Features:
The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Fairly easy to install base plate. Left all bolts / nuts loose, slid tow bar in to align while tightening up. Ready for motorhome.
Good quality! What I expect from Roadmaster! Works great. Would have liked a bit more instruction on where to use the shims. Can't really get a torque wrench to some of the bolts, but not really a big deal!

If you take a look at the diagram on the instructions, it will tell you where the shims are to go. This really needs to be torqued down to spec to be able to be covered under warranty.
Very sturdy made. Make sure that all components are installed prior to applying full torque. Took on day to install on the truck with test run. All items work as expected. More reviews after longer use.

Very good strong product. I had to adjust some holes to complete installation.
I am a first time user of flat towing behnd a motorhome. I hear people have had problems with the installation of a base plate. As for me the installation could not have been eaiser. I am very satisfied with the Roadmaster base plate, the company and shipping.
I spoke with Nichole re: this order, she was wonderful to deal with. Quick and easy, no guy likes to shop so etrailer and Nichole works for me. As for the hitch Roadmaster it the best I have used this is my second Roadmaster hitch. Great Product, Great Service!!!!!
All item were picked correctly and packaged great! Ordered more than just the brackets and very please with time it took too.
Straight forward installation on my 2007 Ford Ranger XLT.
It was a replacement because of a minor accident. Very satisfied !!!
Great service & good online site to order products for RVs. Happy with etrailer & second time ordering.
I have not installer it yet but instructions are good .
Angela was marvellous she was very helpful and I'm very satisfied with the product that I bought
Fast shipping! Everything was packaged well and complete, would reccommend and patronize again for any other RV needs!
Packed very good, delivered a week sooner than I thought it would arrive, excellent experience
I was pulling my truck using the roadmaster crossbar and to my surpass the towbar broke in half as I was towing. Good thing I was in town only going 20 miles poer hr.
etrailer service is and has always been stellar. My order was correct and was delivered very quickly. The only reason I made this a four instead of a five was that the rear bolt position of both base plate brackets where welded on crooked. Each small plate was at a different angle from each other. In my opinion whoever welded them wasn’t paying attention to quality control. Because I was on a time crunch for my departure on a trip and could not wait for replacements (and I needed the vehicle for local driving) I made the brackets work. Other than that the installation went smoothly and I was able to test tow my 2004 CRV a couple of times without incident.
Base Plate kit was complete and generally straight forward to install. Some instructions and dimensions were not explained in detail as they could have been. Especially the modifications made to the air dam were totally off. Most of the air dam is cut off to fit in front of the base plate. This was installed on a 2014 Chevy Captiva four cylinder car.
Very impressed that they're the exact fabbed fit, and easy to install! These tow base plates are super sturdy!
Item arrived earlier than predicted after viewing a very complete tracking system. The information was very clear and precise. Good job! I am 75 years of age and installed the baseplate myself. Only a couple of minor issues. One pin would not insert. Welding blob in the way. Filed it smooth and problem solved. The video was excellent but was a bit different in that it showed a different method o rear bolt installation, however the instructions on paper showed the correct way. Reinstalling the front clip had presented some difficulty. I suggest really watching the inner fender position relative to the front clip before removal. All said all went well. The finished look is great, (see pictures). Great product!
Item arrived very quickly. It appears to be of excellent quality. The salesman that helped me was very good and had very good knowledge of the product. The installation instructions were a bit vague, but I was able to figure them out. The price of the item was a bit higher than I was expecting.
Quick and easy install. Did not need to drill any holes.
Installed this base on a 2003 Chevrolet Tracker ZR-2.
Highly recommend this towing base.
Highly recommend E-Trailer for all of your towing accessories. Great product, great customer service!!
I've towed with it many times and Zero problems. I did find that moving the car slightly forward after stopping helps relax tension amd.make.disconnect much easier. Overall... I'd say SUPER..!!
Timely receipt and the installation was accomplished easily after watching the video.
