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.Thank you. Thank you for helping me find the right parts.All parts went on well from start to finish. Shipping was all on time. Everything I get from etrailer. Is top notch.
The base plates were easy to install (great step by step installation instructions)- it is an easy configuration for towing the vehicle. The attaching plates are well hidden from view when not in towing configuration- It is so simple to install the attaching hardware to the base plates sand fool proof -you will know you have the attaching plates properly installed every you use them-
The units went on my Chevy truck great and they work well the only problem is I can't take off my tow bar unless I unbolt it from the base plates so I have to leave the unit on all the time. It would take 4 bolts to remove . Then I could unlock the base plates and turn them in order to remove them.

The base plates they are working fine I dont remove them they stay on all the time it has been 2 years now the tow bar that I use is bolted on so I would have to remove them to get the s out I should do this some time so they dont rust in place but real nice right now .
I haven't installed these parts yet but past experience with etrailer has been exceptional. Great customer service and help when needed. I have viewed the videos associated with installation of these parts and am confident they will install with ease.

It would have been extremely difficult to install the base plate and associated parts without the aid of the installation video. It was a lifesaver. The procedure was detailed perfectly and the parts went into place effortlessly and fit like a glove!
The bolt on tow brackets bolted up purfectly, followed the instructions that came with them & watched an online video, was a little time consuming but that varies by vehicle

Yup must have done it right,after a year of towing my chevy colorado around on Alaska roads,highways, dirt roads and potholes without any problems, it must be a good product
Bought the base plate for my new 2016 GMC Canyon. Installed it myself, went real well.

went great
This was my 4th install of a RM base plate. Armed with several variants of written and video instructions we carefully started disassembling a new truck... Like the others base plates, everything fit. I have a 2018 GMC Canyon Denali 4x4 and the instructions were for a Chevy Colorado/Canyon/ZR2 and were off a bit. The GMC Denali install seems to be closer to the Chevy ZR2. In a few cases the trim fasteners and locations differed but all in all, reasonably similiar.
Some differences: I did not have to remove the air dam. The fascia was notched at the bottom.
Criticism: The width of vertical receiver plate introduced a gap between the 45 degree bumper core end brace and the truck frame. I might weld or bolt a shim to compensate.
Great shipping also fits really nice
Great product with good directions to peel back the "plastic" front end parts to reach where they mount. Plus etrailer staff backup to answer any questions that may come up.
We have been RVing since 1986. When we started towing a car we have used only Roadmaster Tow Bars and baseplates.
I've installed the baseplate yet but a layout of the items in front of my truck appeared they will fit well. However, one of the ring handles for the spring loaded pins was bent from shipping.
The brackets fit was good, quality was good. The installation instructions need to be updated for the 2020 Colorado. There were some unnecessary steps.
Easy to install. It was designed for this vehicle, so no drilling or fabrication. Called tech support once, very helpful.
Product is high quality. George J kept me informed of the progress of my order my order was easy to track. I am very pleased with my purchase at an excellent price. Thank you etrailer for your excellent service and dependability

due to the current pandemic- we have not use the product as we intended-we have use it for several miles for towing our truck- so far it shows to hold its torque and stability-little bet of rust between base plates and engagement parts- i an happy with the hardware as it was recommended by your staff- Installation instructions were impeccable- reminded me of assembly instructions for critical hardware- i am happy with its performance so far
