Is this right For you? Product Expert Mike S says:
Designed for use with motor-home-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible, easy to mount and remove, and they eliminate the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar. Installs on your vehicle's frame.
Features:
Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Sterling, Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These base plates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
The drawbars, or front arms, on this base plate kit are supremely easy to mount and remove. Just insert them into the brackets and twist to lock them in place. To remove each arm, simply tug the built-in pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the arm back and pull it out of the bracket. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Installs on your vehicle's frame.Was delivered quickly and I was able to install the baseplate assembly relatively easily after having watched a few of the etrailer videos. I did watch multiple different videos as my 2022 Grand Cherokee WK had slight variations from the videos. I did not have previous experience doing this type of automotive work so I will admit to some trepidation along the way but all ended perfectly. My wife was not too happy about me taking the bumper off of her new car with just 100 miles on it but she has regrouped. The only thing I used the written instructions for was to get the parts all organized and to get the correct torque for the bolts
I uses this base plate set up with the Roadmaster nighhawk tow bar. It was easy to install and easy to connect to the tow bar. No issues or complaints after the first year of use.
Works very well. Easy to use. This Jeep had OEM chrome tow hooks that had to be removed. Didn’t care for the look of the bare faceplate; So fabricated chrome hook fixtures that fit into the blank face plate when not towing.
Perfect I love how easy the Direct-Connect base plate is compared to the crossbar style.
This was an easy install for the bracket attaching to my Grand Cherokee. To be fair it took about 10 hours but this is including the wiring for the lights and I was pretty anal about the routings making extra sure of no pinching points, etc. This was my first time ever doing such. Instructions are good and you need to take your time. This is a high quality product that I would recommend to a friend. I used my Armada to do a test tow to make sure everything worked properly. Thumbs up on the test drive.
Excellent quality, great price and super easy to install
Love it!! Works as advertised and simple for the dealer to install.

Installation is much more involved than instruction lead u to believe. Individual must be very mechanical and have a good selection of tools. Product is a very good quality.
Larry W - 08/12/2018Geoffrey was excellent with knowing what we needed. Received the unit on time. And we would like to thank you for having such informed associate working for your company. Thank you. A tow bar for our Jeep Grand Cherokee 2018.
Well so far the base plate has been received and packaging was excellent as was speed of shipment. I have not yet put it on the Grand Cherokee - a bit too much snow. So as soon I complete that job I'll do a follow up post with some pictures.
The product is excellent, but more important is your company. You provided clear, detailed instructiones and are always available for further questions.
