Roadmaster's EZ Twistlock series 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:

  • Hidden bracket design provides improved aesthetics compared with standard brackets
  • Drawbars are easily removable - just twist and pull
    • No pins or clips required
  • 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
  • Compatible with Quick Disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars

The drawbars, or front arms, on the 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 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.

The build quality was good....welds
were well done....paint was good
Instructions were pretty thorough.
Lots of trimming away of the splash shield for this install!!
Oh well...no choice I guess.



by:

Very heavy duty. Much more than needed for my application but better more than less.
Heavy duty also means heavy in weight. Not easy to lift and move.

I place m’y order and received it as plan .Plus amazing follows till I removed all my parts

2018 Jeep Cherokee

After checking and verifying with Kelsey what my 2006 Mazda Miata needed for tow plates, I ordered and in a very few days, it arrived at my doorstep. They also did a great job for my 2018 Jeep Cherokee, which I am towing behind my RV now. They have the most knowledgeable folks to help to get the correct parts and if you find a price lower, they will refund the difference. I can't think of any other Company that does that. This Company is my only go-to place for anything towing related. Here is a picture of my installed BlueOx base plates on my Jeep and will update as soon as I get the Miata installed, and get a picture of that also.

2011 Mazda MX-5 Miata

An involved but not overly complicated install process on my 2011 Mazda Miata. The removable plates rub on the bottom of the grill (in addition to the holes you will need to cut out for the tubes), and the splash guard needs to be trimmed to accommodate the mounting plates, but overall the installation is not as gruesome as it sounds, as long as you use some finesse. The linkage on all pieces feel really solid and it tows very well.



by:

Paul was incredible in helping me find the correct base plate for my vehicles. Will continue to use etrailer for all my future needs!



by:
2015 Mazda Miata

I have a 2015 miata this baseplate was for a 2011, Roadmaster says it doesn't fit the 2015. It fits great just requires you to drill two additional holes through the the baseplate brackets. Of course it would have been nice to know beforehand.



by:

The installation was not difficult, but one bolt on each side for the bumper core did not have enough room to get threaded. I had to cut about a 1/4 inch from the base plate to allow the bolts enough room. I am also a little concerned about the extensive trimming on the belly pan. You lose 4 mounting points when you trim the shroud. I made a support bracket for each side to better support the plastic shroud.

etrailer has always impressed me! The items are nicely priced and quickly shipped. Support is fantastic...When you have a technical question, the techs at etrailer are easy to reach and knowledgable. I have been a fan for many years...Thank you etrailer.

Great people to deal with. Order rec'd sooner than expected and the Roadmaster equipment was excellent.



by:

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:

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:

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.

  • Do I Need To Use a Crossbar With the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 On a 2007 Mazda Miata?
    The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 does require you to use a crossbar with your Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522.

  • Base Plate Availability for a Mazda Miata
    Base plates are available for the Mazda Miata all the way up to 2011, but the base plates are not the same between all model years. The Roadmaster XL base plate kit # 711-4 will fit the Miata from 1990 to 2005 excluding the Mazdaspeed. The Roadmaster EZ base plate kit # 52728-1 will fit all models from 2006 to 2011. I have attached a link to our base plate fit guide for you to check out. Once you know the model year of your Miata, you can search our fit guide for the correct base plate...

  • Where Do Safety Cables Attach on Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit for 2007 Mazda MX-5
    I attached a picture that shows where to attach the safety cables when installing the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate kit part # 52728-1. Here's the text too though. Attach the ends of the 8” safety cables to the front holes in the cable mounting tabs located on the inside of the receiver braces with the included cable connectors (Fig.X). Connect the other end to the tow vehicle's safety cables and tow bar.

  • How to Fit 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadmaster Base Plate Kit with Blue Ox Tow Bar
    Hey Glenn, thanks for reaching out! The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 that fits your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata won't be compatible with the Blue Ox Base Plate tab you have. Since it sounds like you already have a Blue Ox tow bar, I recommend picking up the Roadmaster Base Plate Adapter Bracket # RM-032 so you can then use your existing tow bar with the Roadmaster base plate kit.

  • Do You Have To Use Crossbar Of Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar When Flat Towing 2007 Mazda MX-5
    Since the only base plate kit available for your 2007 Mazda MX-5 Miata is the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 you will need to use the crossbar included with the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520. To complete your flat towing setup you will also need safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental braking system. If you have not already purchased them I recommend the following: Safety Cables: RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643 Wiring: Roadmaster...

  • Recreational Towing Base Plates for 2012 Mazda MX-5 Miata
    I've spoken with my contact in the engineering department at Roadmaster. She tells me that there was a change in the bumper fascia for the 2012 model year of the MX-5 Miata. The # 52728-1 base plate WILL install on the 2012 model, but there is a great deal of trimming that needs to be done to the bumper fascia, which affected the appearance of the vehicle. Because of that, Roadmaster decided not to carry over the base plate to the 2012 and later models. I'll link you to some of our Flat...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Mazda Miada MX-5
    The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 is the correct base plate kit for your 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata. There are several other components needed to flat tow your vehicle that you may be interested in also. You will want a tow bar also to provide the connection point from the base plate kit to your tow vehicle. For that I recommend you get a RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Tow Bar # RM-576. This tow bar comes with wiring, safety cables and quick-disconnects also. Check out the review...

  • Towbar and Equipment for Flat Towing 2011 Mazda Miata MX-5
    As a first step, you'll want to determine if your vehicle is capable of being flat towed. According to information I found in the owner's manual, Mazda doesn't recommend flat towing your vehicle, they recommend trailering the vehicle. I'd recommend you confirm this for yourself by consulting your owner's manual or Mazda Dealer to determine what modifications would need to be preformed to the vehicle in order to flat tow it safely. If you should determine it wouldn't harm your vehicle to...

    You are correct, the parts you have selected will work well together on your 2008 Mazda Miata MX5. There are some other parts that will be required. First, you will need a set of safety cables. With the RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, item # RM-020, the RoadMaster Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables, item # RM-643 would be a good choice and will wrap around the tow bar to eliminate dragging. You will also need a set of Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnects, item # RM-201, to disconnect the tow...
