Video Transcript for Roadmaster Safety Chains and Cables - Safety Cables - RM-655-68 Review
Today we're going to be taking a look at the Road Master easy hook safety cables. These safety cables are faster to connect than other cables. They're going to include the features of standard cables with the addition of a unique attachment system. Located on one end of the cable we're going to have a stainless steel ball. This is going to lash into a slotted anchor plate. Now slotted anchor plates are sold separately.
You can find them here at etrailer.com. These cables are going to measure 68 inches long and they're going to have the capacity of 8,000 pounds per pair. They're made right here in the USA and designed to work with all Road Master mounting brackets with quick disconnects. The safety cables are going to be air craft tight galvanized steel. Then on this end, they're going to have the drop forged steel hooks with the spring loaded safety latch to prevent accidental disconnecting. It's a really nice strong durable design.
The cables are also a vinyl coated to prevent scratching and chipping of the tow bars. They're going to easily connect to the anchor brackets by inserting the ball end through the diagonal slots and then pulling down and to the side. Now your anchor brackets are going to be the brackets that connect to the quick disconnects and those brackets are sold separately. Again, you can find them here at etrailer.com if you're in need of some. When connecting your cables to your tow vehicle, we do recommend that you cross your cables below the hitch. That's going to create a cradle so in the event of a separation this will help in preventing the tow bar from striking the ground.
That's going to do it for today's look at the Road Master easy hook safety cables that measure 68 inches long.

Safety cables! Need I say more Essential part of ground towing our Chevy traverse behind our class A motorhome.
by: Mike09/01/2016
Great product and fast shipping. Needed longer cables than provided with the tow bar due to the addition of a drop hitch. These are perfect. etrailer's web page was easy to navigate and find exactly what I needed.
by: Nathaniel 09/20/2018
These safety chains are great. These hook up easier than anything I've had before. Thanks to etailer who requested a review a year after I purchased this item. Many companies request a review 2 or 3 days after the item arrives.

Nice cable at first, but the protective cover is easily damaged, and once it is, the cable rusts.

See what our Experts say about this Roadmaster Safety Cables
- What Is Needed To Flat Tow A 2017 Jeep Wrangler 4WD SportAbsolutely! First you will need a Base-Plate Kit and Tow Bar. I recommend the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM-521448-4 which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Jeep Wrangler as long as it is not a Winter, Hard Rock, or 75th Anniversary model. For a Tow Bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain # RM-522 which is a great system that has a non-binding design that allows you to release your vehicle at any time even on uneven ground. Next you will need a wiring...
view full answer... - D Ring Tow Bar Adapters And Flat Tow Setup For 2017 Jeep WranglerGreat question. The only adapter we have that will work with a Ready Brute is the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Brackets for Ready Brute Elite Tow Bars # BX88297. This adapter, will work with the tow bar but won't work with the D-rings. You would need a blue ox base plate. For me to get you the proper base plate I would need more information about your bumper and some pics of it. We have two sizes of D-ring adapters 1 inch and 3/4 inch. Two examples of this would be the Adapter for Jeep...
view full answer... - Flat Tow Set Up For 2007 Mazda MX-5 That Does Not Need A Cross BarI have a solution for you. Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # 52728-1. Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-522. These two units are not compatible with each other and you will need to get a crossbar style tow bar. If you are deadset on getting the falcon you can use the Replacement Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly for Roadmaster Motorhome Mounted Tow Bars # 910021-00. Roadmaster StowMaster Tow Bar - Car Mount...

- Replacement Safety Cables For My 2011 Chevrolet HHR That Measure 67 InchesSince your original safety cables are 67 inches, I recommend The Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety Cables # RM-655-68. These cables are designed to work with all Roadmaster mounting brackets with quick-disconnects. The safety cables are aircraft type, galvanized steel with a drop-forged steel hook with spring loaded latches. The Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety Cables # RM-655-64 would be to short. I attached a review video link below.
view full answer... - Do Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety Cables Have a 10,000 lb Weight RatingThe side rails on the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-422 are meant for the Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety Cables like the 68" # RM-655-68. The max capacity for these is 8,000 lbs though so if you need the full 10,000 lb weight capacity to match the tow bar then you'll need standard cables like the 80" Cables # RM-653. If you don't already have the tow bar then I recommend picking up the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e84ZR instead as it has adapters to fit the same base...
view full answer... - Flat Tow Set Up For 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2Great question. I checked with RoadMaster and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # RM78VR is a fit for a 2022 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 NON-Bison. If you have a Bison model you can use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM33VR. Either one you choose will work with roadmaster tow bars like Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # RM-522. You will need a braking system, I recommend...
