Is Hardware Included in Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521190-1 to Connect to a Quick Disconnect
Question:
Does this towbar come with hardware to connect to a Quick Disconnect? Or how do you connect the removable arms to the roadmaster Falcon 2? I removed my Quick Disconnect from my Jeep Wrangler and will reuse it for my Honda Fit, but I dont want to remove the threaded backing plate from the Jeep since I want to be able to go back and forth. Thanks.

The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, part # 521190-1, does not include the RoadMaster Quick Disconnects, part # RM-222. These car side quick disconnects will bolt to the EZ base plates on your 2011 Honda Fit and allow the crossbar from your Falcon 2 tow bar to be connected. The quick disconnects come with the mounting hardware, it is not sold separately.
I also have the quick disconnects for the tow bar side, part # RM-221. These are the quick disconnects that attach to the crossbar of your Falcon 2 tow bar and allow the quick disconnects on the EZ base plates to be connected. They will also come with the mounting hardware.
To complete the towing set up for your Honda Fit, you will also need safety cables, and lighting. For safety cables, I recommend RoadMaster 64 inch safety cables, part # RM-643. The base plates provide attachment points for the cables. The other end will attach to the hitch on the towing vehicle.
For lights, there are a couple of options. If you do not plan on towing the vehicle often, I recommend magnetic light kit # RM-2120. If you do plan on towing it frequently, I recommend installing Hopkins isolating diode system, # 38955.
I am including a video along with a couple of FAQ articles on tow bar wiring that should help in choosing the best light kit for your application along with how to go about wiring them.
