How to Connect a Falcon 2 Tow Bar with a Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit on a 2002 Saturn SL2
Question:
Hello, I have a 2002 saturn sl2 that I would like to tow and contemplated installing a roadmaster base plate #154-2. I already have a falcon 2 tow bar that I will be using, however the attaching points on the tow bar are the single bolt swivel style and the base plate shows a flat plate with two holes. I assume that I need something else to make the connection?

The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 normally comes with the quick-disconnects needed to match up with the Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 154-2 that you're looking at for your 2002 Saturn SL2. If you don't have this piece then you can replace it with the Quick Disconnect Crossbar Assembly # 910021-00 for your tow bar and the base plate kit to be compatible with each other.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
