Weight of Roadmaster Base Plate and BlackHawk 2 Tow Bar for 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid
Question:
I want to flat tow a 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid behind my RV. I see the parts that I need on your site, but I would like to know the weights, especially of the base plate and the tow bar, so I know whether Im getting close to my GCVW limits. Can you help?
