Hi there, vehicle owners! Today on your 2021 Buick Encore GX, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Roadmaster's Direct-Connect Baseplate.

And also if you we're walking by here in the front, there's really little chance you're gonna be hitting your shins on anything. The black powder coat finish helps it blend into the area on our grill here where it passes through. So all in all, I think it's a really good look at the front of our vehicle. more

Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Installation - 2017 Buick Envision- Video
Ryan: How's it going Ryan here at etrailer.com. Today on our 2017 Buick Envision, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit with removable arms. Now, right off the bat, our base plate is going to be somewhat visible because we do have to cut openings and our grill for all of our components to come through. But the upside to that, and one thing I like about this base plate is that it's already going to have bracketry pre-attached to set up our breakaway switch as well as our six way wiring. And that's really convenient because everything's going to look a lot more symmetrical and you're not going to have to worry about customizing bracketry to get everything mounted. Now, the purpose of the base plate is to provide us with a solid connection point. more
