Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2014 Fiat 500L
Question:
will a roadmaster 5250 tow kit fit a fiat 500L

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-525 that you referenced would do an excellent job as a tow bar for flat towing your 2014 Fiat 500L. You will need a few other components to complete your flat towing setup though. For a base plate kit you would want the part # RM-522014-4.
For safety cables you can use # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.
For lighting you can use the bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, and not have to worry about cutting and splicing into the vehicle wiring.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Even Brake proportional system, # RM-9400, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the two vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for more specific information on flat towing your vehicle.
