To flat tow your 2014 Fiat 500L you will need several items, a base plate kit, tow bar, safety chains, tow bar wiring to link indicator lights and a supplemental braking system.
- Base Plates, Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-522014-5
- Tow Bar, Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520 (Please note the linked product review video)
- Safety Cables, RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables, # RM-643
- Wiring, Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267
- Supplemental Braking, Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700
The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit, # RM-522014-5 are designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars and install to your Fiat 500L's frame. We have an installation video available, linked below, to assist you with installation.
The Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, # RM-520 is a hitch-mounted tow bar made from stainless steel with telescoping arms that automatically lock into place. What I like about this option is the large hookup radius that allows you to connect without perfectly lining up your vehicle; this is a self-aligning design. All you need to do is hook up and drive RV forward.
The Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit, # RM-15267 links your Fiat 500L's indicator lights to your RV's while preventing feedback. This will wire 2-wire and 3-wire systems to operate as a combined lighting systems and includes 7-wire to 6-wire Flexo-Coil electrical cord.
What I really like about the Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System, # RM-8700 is that it's a permanent out of the way solution. A bracket and cable pulley will install on the arm of your vehicle's brake pedal. This will not interfere with normal braking function and does not have to be adjusted, removed or activated. The entire system can stay in your car year 'round, waiting for those times when you need to tow. And once you do hook up your car to your RV in preparation for towing, the system will function automatically.
