Items and Accessories for Flat Towing 2019 Ford Fiesta
Question:
Hi I saw your video on setting up your tow bar for the 2019 Ford Fiesta. You went through all the parts I need and I appreciate that. I currently have a Blue Ox BX8893SS to bar. Can it be used with the setup in your video? Does Roadmaster have a set of Blue Ox adapters? If so what is part# for those adapters. Currently the Roadmaster baseplate RM-524438-4 is in stock and Blue Ox baseplate is on back order. Also I have a 6 pin square power plug so not sure what adapter I need to power this. Thanks

Yes we have base plates that will work with your current Blue Ox tow bar, I suggest the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms, # BX2650, this is a Confirmed to fit for your 2019 Ford Fiesta. If you do not already have a set of safety cables with your current tow bar, I suggest the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables, # BX88196.
We have several wiring solutions available, but the most popular and easiest to use once installed is the Roadmaster # RM-15267and you will need the battery quick disconnect, # RM-766 if you have an automatic transmission.
For supplemental braking system that is required by law, I suggest the Invisibrake, # RM-8700 as once installed, the system is very unobtrusive and works great. You will need the # RM-88400 relay as well. But if you prefer a portable system then please consider the # RM-9400 Brake Master. With this option you will also need the # RM-751450 stop light switch and the # RM-9332 12 volt outlet.
To make a 7-way to 6-way square adapter will require you to get the part # 37995, use this to replace the end of 8' coiled cord that comes with the Roadmaster Wiring Kit.
I have attached several help articles to explain how all the systems work together for a great flat-towing experience.
