Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit Installation - 2015 Lincoln MKX- Video
Today on our 2015 Lincoln MKX, we're going to be installing Roadmaster's XL base plate Kit, part number 4408-1. A baseplate is one of five major components needed to properly flat tow your vehicle, the others being a tow bar, safety cables, a braking system, and wiring for your taillights.This base plate is going to allow you to connect your vehicle behind your motor home so you can tow it with you wherever you go. The base plate is going to install behind the bumper, so you're only going to be able to see the tube sticking out that you see here.This will be the interface that your tow bars will connect to. You can pick up many different tow bar styles here at etrailer.com. Located at the bottom of the tube is a place to go for your safety chain. Included with it, you're going to receive some small safety chain extensions and this will help keep the safety chain away from your vehicle so it won't cause any damage to the front of your fascia.Coming out of the tubes in your base plate is the quick disconnect that is included with the base plate. more

Keep in mind, this is only one component of our flat tow setup. You're going to need a base plate and a braking system, along with the tow bar wiring.Here's what our base plate looks like once we have it installed. Now, I do want to mention that these other accessories on the front here are not included in the kit, but our base plate is going to serve as the attachment point on our Lincoln so we can hook our tow bar up. As you can see with the arms removed, it's going to have a nice sleek look on the front so we're not going to have to worry about those big arms sticking out whenever we're not towing.Now, on our arms we already went ahead and installed the bracket that's going to hook up for our cross bar, but the way we're going to install the arms is we're just going to slide them in and there's going to be that silver pin, we're going to push in until it presses that pin in, and then slowly rotate it until it locks into place. Now, the brackets here that we mounted to the removable arms, as well as the cross bar, they are going to be sold separately. more

Then we have our bracket here, where we can mount any electrical connection that we need for our towed vehicle lighting system. Now we just want to drive our vehicle normally, we don't want to tow it behind our RV. What we can do is insert these included plastic plugs into where the removable arms go, and this will help keep any dirt and debris from entering there, making it difficult for you to insert your removable arms. more
