Comparing Roadmaster Crossbar and Direct Connect Base Plates for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
Question:
What's the difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits for my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit part # RM-521453-4 and Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-521453-5 are both great options for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. The only difference between the two is the arm design. The former has crossbar style arms meaning they are designed to be used with a tow bar like the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar part # RM-520 and the latter has direct-connect arms meaning they are designed to be used with a tow bar like the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar part # RM-676.
The direct-connect style is more seamless and less parts to deal with so this is what I recommend unless you already have a crossbar style tow bar.
