How Does Roadmaster RM-520 Falcon 2 Tow Bar Attach to 477-5 Base Plate Kit on 2011 Ford Ranger

Question:

Hi there. When I look at the pictures of baseplate 477-5 for my 2011 Ford Ranger XLT I do not see where my Falcon 2 tow bar would hook up to the baseplate. On the pictures I saw there was flat steel facing what would be the hook up area for the baseplate. Am I missing something? I know that you know what a Falcon 2 looks like but i included a picture anyway. Thanks much!

Thanks for sending the photo, that was super helpful.

It looks like you're missing the crossbar of your # RM-520 Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar. The crossbar/quick disconnect is what attaches to the draw bars of the # 477-5 base plate kit. For a replacement crossbar, you'll need part # 910021-00. The linked installation instructions/owner's manual for the # RM-520 Falcon 2 tow bar will show how everything fits together.
