Roadmaster's crossbar-style brackets have a low profile and are virtually invisible. Each arm is 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 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 each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. 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.

Thank you Etrailer.
I received my brackets & have them installed on my 2016 Jeep Cherokee. I saved money buying them here & they shipped quite quickly. I also used the install video which assisted in the install located on this site.

The brackets worked great, not the Cherokee so I traded it.
I bought all of my products for flat towing my 2014 Jeep Cherokee for etrailer and I couldn’t be happier. The service was exceptional, the pricing was right, and when I did have a problem, they were right there to take care of it. When I need more goodies for the RV, I will be back!!!!
My Jeep tows great with this system. Easy twist in and out with the hidden base plates. Once towing is completed the brackets twist out and what remains is almost invisible.
Received on time and as ordered
Thanks for the great service and good price.

works great
The installation is quite involved, however and one who is handy should be able to tackle this project. A year latter base plate continues to work well with the tow bar and has logged 8000 miles without issue.
Etrailer was very helpful with questions prior to ordering. Shipping was very timely. The products were exactly as described and was packaged very good.
The price was the best I could find online.
Went on fairly easy with the help of your video to guide me. They look very nice on my 2017 Jeep Cherokee. I drilled 2 1/4in holes in each plate instead of cutting off the alignment tabs and small bolts. It took me awhile to get front end back on as I had to do a lot of modification to baffle.
Delivered a little late, but acceptable. Could have arranged installation sooner with quicker delivery. Something about a late connection with a drop point??
The brackets were pretty easy to install took me about 4 hours with the help from the video trimming the grill took the longest --- they work great. Joe
Excellent delivery time. Install instructions were right on. I had a question prior to purchase which was responded to immediately. On line install instructions were very helpful.
Product came a day sooner then scheduled. All parts were there and in good condition.
Easy to install and fit perfect. Thanks ,this is a great product
Would not have any thing else. Easy to apply and away you go.
They arrived super quick. Thank you for your haste. I'll keep you aware of any problems, altho' I don't anticipate any!

Every thing was like i expected.shipping was fast,
Great delivery service
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.
