The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style, EZ series base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. 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.

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.

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: Richard U.06/08/2015
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

I always buy from Etrailer. Products always as described and fit. Always use their informative videos. Staff is informative and very helpful.
by: Steven B06/26/2017
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: William 04/23/2024
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: David11/28/2017
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: Neil05/18/2024
After 1 year of full-time use I am very happy with the base kit. It was relatively easy to install with the aid of a car lift. I would imagine that it would be a little harder without.
by: Jim02/09/2024
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.

- Recommended Flat Towing System for 2011 Buick Enclave FWDYour 2011 Buick Enclave can be flat towed. I recommend starting with the Roadmaster EZ Crossbar Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 523149-1 and then using the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. You can then use safety cables # RM-643. The custom fit baseplates will allow the tow bar to safely connect to your vehicle and the removable arms will allow you to keep the vehicle aesthetics when the towing system is not in use. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode...

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...

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...
