Of the three we have available, part # 1526-1 is the only one that has removable draw bars. These are compatible with Quick Disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars.

The Roadmaster Guardian Rock Guard # RM-4000 is only designed for specific Roadmaster set ups - base plate and tow bar - so I recommend going a different route than the Roadmaster Falcon # RM-522 to use a rock guard on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited with the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948.
The best option is to use the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR with the Sentry Deflector for Demco Tow Bars # DM9523135.
The SD tow bar is similar to the Falcon in that it is a... view full answer...
Base plates are designed for the GVWR of the vehicle so there isn't a known maximum for the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98965 because it's only tested to the maximum GVWR.
The base plate is more of an anchor and the tow bar does the actual pulling, so you'll want to insure that you choose the correctly rated tow bar for the curb weight of your Equinox as well as any items you load into it.
Since the GVWR of your Equinox is 4,400lbs to 4,900lbs my recommendation is the etrailer... view full answer...
The vehicle in the video for the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar # BX7322 is a 2020 Buick Envision using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1518.
It is important to note that base plate kits are a vehicle specific part. If you provide me with the vehicle that you are wanting to flat tow, I would be happy to recommend the correct base plate kit that will allow you to use the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar # BX7322. view full answer...
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BLU55XR is confirmed to fit the 2021 Ford Escape hybrid. It comes with all needed hardware and we even have an installation video created to walk you through the whole process. For a compete flat tow set up, you will need base plates, tow bar, safety cables, indicator light wiring and supplemental braking. For the 2021 Ford Escape, I recommend:

I'm not certain which adapter you used, but the # RM-031 adapter would install at the end of the tow bar arms and allow you to attach to the Blue Ox base plate on your Jeep Cherokee.
To complete your towing system, you'll need safety cables like # RM-643, a wiring harness like part # RM-154, a wiring umbilical like part # RM-164-7 and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot 3 # BLU37TR. The Patriot 3 is a portable unit that will take only moments to install and remove.

If you have a Demco Aluminator, Commander, Dominator, Excali-bar or Kwik-Tow tow bar, you can use the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter, part # RM-032.
This adapter will not work with the MX, MS, or EZ5 Series brackets. view full answer...
I would not recommend towing your 2011 Chevrolet HHR at an angle. You will want the tow set up to be as level as possible. For your situation I would recommend using a tow bar that attaches to a ball mount like the Roadmaster StowMaster Car-Mounted Tow Bar, # RM-501, with a ball mount that has the correct drop.
I have attached an article to help you choose a ball mount with the correct drop. First you should measure from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver on your coach. Next... view full answer...

I have added links to instructions for you to check out as well of the Base Plate Kit # RM39FR and BlackHawk 2Tow Bar # RM-422. view full answer...
Base plates are vehicle specific for use with a tow bar like your Roadmaster Falcon # RM-522, so they do have to be purchased for a specific vehicle, and there are limitations for vehicle years and models as well. There would be no reason to cut off or remove base plates. view full answer...
According to a Certified GMC Tech I checked with, your 2020 GMC Sierra will not register the towed miles if your dashboard is not "live". Meaning, if you do not have the ignition on or in the accessory position when flat towing there will be no power to the electronic items that register the rotation/movement of the wheels.
To flat tow your 2020 GMC Sierra, you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, a lighting solution, and a supplemental braking system. If you need some... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates, # RM-677 is rated at 8,000 lbs. You will need to check the curb weight of the specific vehicle you intend to tow, most Chevy Suburban's will be in the range of about 6,000 lbs. The full size Chevy trucks will vary to greater degree with length of bed and cab configuration but as long you do not exceed the 8,000 lb. amount, including payload, this will be a great option. Another great option that matches... view full answer...
Miles are not added onto the odometer of the 2021 Jeep Gladiator when it's flat towed. The odometer is electronic, not mechanically driven off the transmission or differential so miles will not accumulate when the vehicle isn't running.
In order to safely flat tow your Gladiator, you'll need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, a taillight wiring harness, a supplemental braking system and possibly a high/low adapter if the installed height of the base plates has a +/- 3 inch difference... view full answer...
You can use the Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate Bracket Kit - 5,000 lbs # BX88230. You will have to drill some holes in your bumper but if will mount flush and give you the connection points you need to connect to a blue ox tow bar.
Just make sure you call the bumper manufacturer and verify that the bumper can handle this application. view full answer...
A vehicle base plate for a tow bar is a vehicle-specific item that is designed and engineered to fit on a particular vehicle. Although it might be theoretically possible to modify a base plate so that it fits a vehicle other than the one it was designed for, I cannot in any way recommend doing so. The geometry of the front of the Terrain and the F150 are different enough that I highly doubt it would even be possible. Keep in mind that altering a base plate assembly in any way will void... view full answer...
I have added a photo for you from the instructions showing the location where the base plate arms protrude on your 2012 Mini Cooper Clubman after installing the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307.
As you can see, you will have to trim the chrome piece on your Mini so the arms have a place to extend out for the tow bar to attach. Speaking of the tow bar, you'll need that along with the wiring and braking systems to flat tow your '12 Clubman, and I'll go ahead and list out below what you need:

Yes, the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR would have enough adjustability between the 1-1/2" shank rise/drop and the 3" of tilt to meet your 4" difference. I've attached a video below where Dave will go over how to adjust this tow bar to fit your application.
If you wanted to use a high/low adapter you could use the Curt High-Low Adapter for Tow Bars # C59KR, which has a 4" rise or drop. view full answer...
The first thing I recommend is to contact the dealership and make sure that the dune buggy can be flat-towed. With a custom frame and body I am not certain there are base plates or adapters available for your dune buggy.
The universal base plate bracket kit we offer is part # BX88230, and it is designed to attach to a vehicle bumper. As the instructions state, most bumpers need to be modified to be able to use this system.
If you find you can use the # BX88230 kit, I recommend a tow... view full answer...
The Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511012-BX is designed to work with Blue Ox baseplates, but can also be used with Demco Classic and Tabless base plates. I recommend verifying exactly what you have before purchasing a new tow bar. If you want to send in a few pictures I can try to determine what you have.
As for your actual question, you can NEVER back up with a tow bar. Doing so will crumple the arms of the tow bar and you'll be looking at costly repairs. Tow bars are only... view full answer...
Yes, a 2018 Forest River Forester Motorhome on the Ford E-450 series chassis with a V10 engine should be capable of towing about 7,500 lbs. But I suggest you verify this with your vehicle specific owners manual and/or the vehicle tags installed by the OEM.
To safely flat tow a 2020 Jeep Gladiator you will need five basic components, a base plate kit, tow bar, wiring for indicator lights, safety cables and a supplemental braking system.
