  • Can the StowMaster be Used with an EZ5 Base Plate Kit on a 2018 Ford Fiesta
  • The reason that the StowMaster # RM-501 is not compatible with EZ5 base plate kits like part # RM-524438-5 for your 2018 Ford Fiesta is because the quick-disconnect is permanently attached to the tow bar. I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster who said that the only tow bars that are compatible with the EZ5 kits are the ones that mount inside the hitch receiver like the Falcon 2 # RM-520. If you already have the StowMaster and you need a base plate kit for your Fiesta then you can use...
