Let's start with the arms for the Roadmaster # 1427-3 or # 1427-1 base plates that fit a 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and per Roadmaster "The replacement baseplate arms for this vehicle have changed over time. For Roadmaster to identify the correct replacement arms for your baseplate, complete and return the Baseplate Arm Order Form." The order form for the base plates is at this part number:

- Roadmaster Replacement Arms for Base Plate Kits # RM-ARMS

Along with the arms, you'll also need a tow bar, safety chains, wiring, and a supplemental braking system, and for a complete Roadmaster set up here are the correct parts:

- Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-522

- Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-152-98146-7

- RoadMaster 64" Double Hook, Straight Safety Cables # RM-646

- Roadmaster Brake-Lite Relay Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-88400

- Roadmaster InvisiBrake Supplemental Braking System # RM-8700
