Can the Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar Be Bolted to the Frame or Bumper
Question:
Im looking at the RM-020. Isnt that the base plate thats connected to the bar? Im thinking bolting that to the frame or the front bumper? Im not going cross country just to local events. What else would I need besides the RM-020?

Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar part # RM-020 is designed to be used with a vehicle specific base plate kit. If you're just looking for something that can be bolted on yourself to the bumper or frame with no other parts then I recommend the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar part # 63180. In order to remain legal you'll also need wiring like the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights part # TL21RK.
