Roadmaster's crossbar-style brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.
Features:
The drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style 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 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.

Roadmaster's crossbar-style brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and simple to remove. Brackets install on your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar.Fit perfectly. Straight forward instructions and etrailer videos were a great help. The provided 4 bolts for the upper frame did not fit on the Jeep so just used bolts that had been removed. Product arrived in a timely manner. Delivery service rep was excellent.
I am very satisfied with your product.Installation was easy and instructions were
easy to follow.I would recommend this to anyone considering a purchase.
We wanted a very high strength towing system for our Jeep. After completing our homework we did purchase this base-plate for our automobile. My son and I put them on in about two hours time and if you follow the supplied directions was fairly easy to do if you are pretty good with your hands and tools. They are easy to connect and disconnect when in use. I would recommend this product and seller.
This was fantastic. Everything I needed to wire factory lights on my Jeep to the trailer plug on my RV. Quality products at a good price and prompt delivery. NICE!
Ordered the EZ4 Base Plate Kit for our 2015 Cherokee Trail Hawk on July 17th, it shipped on the 17th and we received it on Jul 21st. Worked with Jean P @ etrailer, who was great to work with, for verifying the correct kit and getting it sent. Haven't got it installed yet, but parts look well made. Will recommend etrailer to our friends.
First I have to say that I have never worked with a better company than yours. I ordered the products early on a Sunday morning and received an email stating that the order was shipped that very night. You folks give very good customer service. You answered questions that I had before I made my order and your answers were right on. This kit was the one that I most dreaded to work on, mainly because of all the dismantling I had to do to the car. After watching your videos a couple of times and following the instructions exactly, this was the easiest project that I have done yet to my tow vehicle. I took be about 4 hours to install this and it was a very easy task. I want to thank you for the time and effort your company has put into making the installations of your products very easy. I will definitely be doing business with you again and will advise friends and relatives to do so as well.
Perfect fit on my 2016 Cherokee Trailhawk. Easy installation after getting over having to disassemble much of the front of the new vehicle.
Easy installation. Detailed instructions easy to follow

Fit perfect on my 2016 Cherokee. Vidio was a big help,
Installed and works great
Products as expected, great.
This was a straightforward install. The instructions were easy to understand and follow. All the necessary parts and hardware were included. It is pretty well hidden once installed. I highly recommend this base plate and etrailer.
great fit. a slight cut needed to be made in the bumper bracket to facilitate the round tube to fit through the bracket. but, other than that, it was an easy install took about 2 hours if you include the coffee brakes. this part is highly recommended. Fast shipping. the beast human service. thank you.
Had Base Plate installed today, shop gave me 2.5 hr labor time. I returned just under 2hrs and they were backing my car out the shop. They parked it facing me. I told the Mechanic "That was quick" He said that's because it wouldn't fit. I was disappointed and asked what do I owe you for your labor> He laughed out loud and said it on there, but hard to see. I was so surprised and pleased you have to just about get down on your knees and bend down to see it. took me about 8 min to install everything and connect it to the Tow vehicle. I'm very pleased with it.
Working great on my Fiat 500l with the automatic euro transmission. Towed over 10000 miles and was easily installed using etrailer video instructions. Yes you can tow a Fiat 500 with the automatic euro transmission. The firmware was flashed on a recall and revised in the manual. Most dealers don’t even bother checking for the latest version.
So far has performed very well. Was easy to install and hookup is pretty quick and easy. You install instructions were very thorough. Practically invisible when not in use. Tried to attach two pics, but would only take one.
Ordered Product on Saturday afternoon, delivered on Wednesday, Installed on Friday. My 23 Wrangler Sahara 4Xe did take the spacer and washer on each side of the frame and was no problem getting them to fit. The lower passenger outside nut that holds on the bumper will not tighten down all the way, the flange of the factory nut gets caught in a slot in the base plate on that side. Will look into a standard nut to see if that will work - it is tight against the slot and holding.
Super-cool. It's been a year. I installed it myself and it was way less of a task than I expected. The fitment of this was incredibly spot on (no "tweaking" or drilling). Performance wise . . . it does what you expect. You insert the removable "arms", clip in onto your tow bar, and when you get to your destination the vehicle is still attached to your tow bar. Quality product.
I’m always extremely satisfied with Roadmaster products. I had just bought a new truck and planned on towing it so I needed everything to get it ready to tow. This review also applies to to the other items I purchased.
Good fit, works well. Very happy with the base plate after 1st year of use.
etrailer staff was very helpful with my questions, making certain I got the base plate that was right and advice with minor problems I had with installation.
I installed this kit on my 2015 Honda Fit. The instructions are very good, however, there are a couple of "snags" to watch out for. You might have to enlarge the holes on the blind hole part of the bumper installation in order to get all of the mounting bolts to align. The other recommendation I have is NOT to use the Loctite "red" thread compound on the blind hole bolts where you cannot get a wrench on the inside. The Loctite will dry too fast and cause issues tightening the bolts on those areas. They have lock washers anyways and you can use the Loctite on the bolts you can get a wrench on the backing nut mounts. I have been towing for months now and I am very happy with it, especially the crossbar style. You will have to purchase the crossbar separately. It's more weight and a little clunky compared to the direct attachment but it allows you to disconnect in some tough situations by pulling the crossbar off while one arm of the tow hitch is still attached. I use an Falcon All Terrain tow bar so I can release the tow arms in uneven conditions. And I have encountered all types of uneven ground, it really makes disconnect of the TOAD very easy.
