Roadmaster EZ2 Base Plate Kit Installation - 2013 Ford Taurus- Video

Today in our 2013 Ford Taurus we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Roadmaster EZ2 base plate kit, part number 524429-1. So here's what our base plate looks like fully installed. It's going to allow us to tow our vehicle behind our motor home and it's going to sit just right in the grooves of our grill here. We are going to need to cut out a little bit and when we're not towing our vehicle, can actually remove the brackets and it's not that noticeable. Our base plat is compatible with quick disconnects and all Roadmaster tow bars. Now they are an all steel construction with a nice black powder coat finish that's going to not only hide the bar nice behind your grill, but it's also going to protect it against rust and corrosion. This is a custom kit made for your vehicle. more

Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Installation - 2016 Ford Taurus- Video

Today on our 2016 Ford Taurus we'll be installing the Blue Ox Base Plate kit, with removable arms. Part number BX2643. All right here's what our baseplate looks like now that it's been installed and our bumper cover is back on. You can see it's a nice clean look, the removable arms tuck up nicely behind our bumper cover here. One part we really have sticking out is our safety chain attachment points here. Now when we're not behind our RV, and we're not being flat towed, the baseplate comes with these plugs that you can insert where the removable arms go, and that will keep any dirt and debris from entering there and making it difficult for the arms to go into place. When you are ready to hook up to your RV, you just simply grab the plugs, put them inside your cupholder or your glovebox, take your removable arms, insert the more horizontally legs up. more
