Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Recommendation 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee to Use Nighthawk Tow Bar
Question:
I have three questions: Does a crossbar come with the kit? The photo looks like a cross bar is included, but I have seen the recommendation for the RM-910021-00 crossbar to be added. Also, if I chose to wait on adding the Alask Package, can the baseplates be used with the Nighthawk towbar without the crossbar? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
The base plate kit part # RM-521440-4 does not come with a crossbar as it's the tow bar that would include this component. Since you are wanting to use the Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 you'd instead want the direct connect base plate from Roadmaster that fits your vehicle part # RM-521440-5 which attaches directly to the Nighthawk.
I attached an install video for the base plate kit on a similar 2019 Grand Cherokee as well.
