Yes, the Roadmaster EZ4 base plate kit # RM-521424-4 is compatible with the Blue Ox tow bar # BX7380 (safety cables included) as long as you use Roadmaster base plate to Blue Ox tow bar adapter # RM-032 and Roadmaster tow bar quick disconnect kit # RM-201. The quick disconnect kit will make it much easier to attach and remove your tow bar. Also, it makes it so you can easily remove the base plate arms when not in use.

I included a couple installation videos for you as well.
