Can Roadmaster Safety Cables be Used on a 2003 Landrover Discover II with Blue Ox base Plates
Question:
Can I use your rm655 for my falcon all terrain tow bar? My base plate for the tow vehicle 2003 landrover discovery II is a blue ox, of which I recently purchased from you.

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster 68-inch Single Hook Safety Cables # RM-643, will work out great for use with your Roadmaster Falcon tow bar and Blue Ox Base plates. However, you will need to use the adapter bar specified for using Roadmaster tow bars with Blue Ox base plates; the Roadmaster Tow Bar Adapter # RM-031.
The Roadmaster safety cables # RM-643 will work wonderfully with the Roadmaster built-in cable guide on the Falcon tow bar.
The safety cables that you mentioned above, the Roadmaster EZ Hook Safety cables # RM-655, have not been safety tested with the Blue Ox base plates and are only designed to work with Roadmaster Base plates without the use of an adapter bar.
I have included links to the parts listed above, as well as several helpful articles about flat towing for your reference.
