The pins needed to connect your Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar # RM-520 to the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM65MR on your 2023 Chevy Traverse would have come with the tow bar.

If you don't have the pins anymore then the Replacement Base Pins # RM-910029 is what you'll need.

If you're wanting actual locking pins for those connections then you're looking for either the Padlock Kit # RM-302 which replaces the snapper pin on the standard rings, or the the InfiniteRule Locking Pins # IR44FR which turn the pins into actual locking pins.
