  • Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
    • Arms click to lock in place in brackets
    • Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle

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.

Excellent service and product. Purchased a tow bar bracket for a new Kia Soul. The instructions were easy to follow and the bar fit the car without having to modify anything...I have towed the car several times, and the connection to the tow bar is easy...

Fairly easy to install, bought both the base plate and tow bar, detailed instructions in English with pictures was definately a plus. Havent pulled with it yet but looks heavy duty enough to do the job and last a long time. Thanks.

2014 Kia Soul

What can I say...but WOW. We have been towing our 2014 Kia Soul for the past year with absolutely no issues with our towing system. I highly recommend to those who are looking for an affordable towing system to buy the Roadmaster Falcon 2. I'm looking forward to many more miles of use,



by:

Good quality and easy to use once installed. Installation was a little challenging as one of the attachment bolts was hidden and required some disassembly in the engine compartment.

No problems. Does what it is supposed to do.



by:

The base plate was easily installed although I replaced a couple of bolts with 1/2" longer bolts for ease of installation. Have towed the car on many short trips and 3 long 3,000 mile trips with no problems. Its easy to install the arms when not towing. Very convinient.

Quick service & the right parts what more could ask for

Base Plate for 2015 kia soul (Manual). Instructions and color pictures were very helpful. All went as expected and I did not have to trim front grill area to install removable arms which is a plus !!!! It took me about 3.5 hours to install.

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

Works perfect and very hidden. Cannot even tell it is on my Honda HRV. Installation was time consuming since this was my first on a Honda. Your video did make things go smooth. I would buy this item again.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Kia Soul
    I looked up an online version of our owner's manual to see if there are any restrictions on flat towing your Soul but I couldn't find any information. You should check your manual for any specific instructions before towing. If your 2014 Kia Soul is a manual transmission the Roadmaster baseplates that will fit are the EZ4 # RM-522114-4. The EZ4 is compatible with your Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar # RM-020. However, if you have an automatic transmission you'll need the EZ5 # RM-522114-5...

  • Can 2016 Kia Soul with a Manual Transmission be Flat Towed
    Yes, the manual transmission versions of the 2016 Kia Soul like what you have can be flat towed behind a motorhome. The automatic transmission versions cannot. Starting with the base plate kit, I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-522114-4. This is confirmed to fit this vehicle and features a hidden bracket design for a nice clean look when compared to standard brackets. These will install on your Kia Soul's frame to provide an attachment point for the tow bar. For a tow...

  • Can a 2014 Kia Soul With Manual Transmission be Flat Towed Behind an RV?
    Yes, you can flat tow your 2014 Kia Soul with manual transmission behind your Rv; there are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-522114-4. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates as well as its long arms, which make it easier to maneuver when towing; you will also need safety...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a Manual Transmission 2016 Kia Soul
    The standard statement for flat towing is that all manual transmission vehicles can be flat towed as long as the vehicle is put in neutral. That being said we strongly recommend you confirm this with the manufacturer of the vehicle. The owners manual should have a section on recreational towing. For a base plate we have the part # RM-522114-4 which is a confirmed fit and would work well. I attached a link to the install instructions for you to check out as well. In addition to the base...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2015 Kia Soul with Manual Transmission Behind Motorhome
    Looks to me like you have made some excellent product choices as far as flat towing your 2015 Kia Soul. The Roadmaster Base Plates # RM-522114-4 which you referenced are a confirmed fit for your 2015 Kia Soul. These are the most popular base plates with our customers. Similarly the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520, is a confirmed fit with your Soul. This tow bar is also popular with our customers and has a weight capacity of 6,000 lbs.

  • How To Use Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar on 2016 Kia Soul
    I do have an option for you but the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020 is only compatible with the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-522114-4 on a 2016 Kia Soul. It won't work with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-522114-5 because these are designed for motorhome mounted tow bars and the Roadmaster Tracker is a vehicle mounted tow bar. There is nowhere for the tow bar to bolt onto this base plate kit. That said, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style...

  • Which Roadmaster Flat Towing Components for 2014 Kia Soul
    We have the Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM-522114-4 as a confirmed fit for your 2014 Kia Soul but the part number you mentioned does not fit your vehicle so it would not work. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very easy to connect/disconnect. For lighting/safety...

  • Parts Needed to Tow 2016 Kia Soul with Manual Transmission
    Based on my research, certain models of the Kia Soul that have a manual transmission can be flat towed behind a motorhome (all four wheels on the ground). The Kia Soul with automatic transmission cannot be flat towed in this same manner. Before proceeding, I strongly recommend checking the owner's manual for your vehicle, as restrictions and guidelines can vary between models. If your Kia Soul does have a manual transmission, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cable set,...

  • Flat Towing Parts Recommendation for a 2015 Kia Soul
    For a base plate kit confirmed to fit your 2015 Kia Soul with a manual transmission you would want the part # RM-522114-4. This will work well with your Roadmaster StowMaster part # RM-501 that you currently have. For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring. The most economically priced braking system...

  • Can 2014 Kia Soul with a Manual Transmission Be Flat Towed
    I did some checking and your 2014 Kia Soul with a manual transmission can be flat towed. Your Roadmaster tow bar can be used but you will need a new base plate kit as they are all custom fit for specific vehicles. For a base plate kit you'd need the # RM-522114-4. Aside from that most of the flat towing components from your old vehicle can swap to the Soul but it really depends on what you have. If it's a universal lighting system like the part # RM-2120, that will easily fit the Soul....

  • Kia Soul Base Plate Fits for Various Model Years
    Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-522115-4 fits the Kia Soul with manual transmission for model years 2017 through 2019. For 2014 through 2016 model years a different crossbar style kit, EZ4 part # RM-522114-4, is specified. These will not differ much in terms of installation but the instructions for both are linked so you can review and compare and then decide for yourself. I also linked a helpful overview article on flat towing that covers all the essentials. This article...
