Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM77VR

  • Roadmaster
  • Removable Draw Bars
  • Twist Lock Attachment

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:

  • Direct-connect brackets provide attachment points for your motor-home-mounted tow bar
  • Streamlined design creates supremely clean look
    • No obtrusive quick-disconnect crossbar
    • Hidden brackets sit even farther back than standard brackets
  • Drawbars attach and remove quickly and easily
    • Arms click to lock in place in brackets
    • Built-in pull rings let you unlock arms so you can twist and remove them
  • Computer-cut, all-steel construction provides exceptional strength
  • Black powder coat finish is durable and corrosion resistant
  • Simple installation - no welding required
    • Custom base plates ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle
  • Compatible with Roadmaster motor-home-mounted tow bars only
  • Instructions and mounting hardware included
  • Made in the USA
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty


Note: Roadmaster direct-connect base plates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Nighthawk, 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.

2022 Gladiator Mojave. Perfect fit. Speedy delivery. Just a note about the great install video. Remove the 10mm nut holding the shock reservoir hose, makes life simpler. The pre-drilled holes in the the base plate bracketry has plenty of room to re-install the bolt and washer after tow bar in place.

4500 miles of flat towing my 2022 Jeep Gladiator JT Mojave through 12 states with no issues. This was the base plate recommended for the Mojave model by eTrailer and it worked perfect. The skid plate needed to be cut, but it did not affect functionality. Great service, good prices, and fast shipping, thank you!

This did not fit my 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. It was about 1/4 to narrow to fit.

This base plate kit is excellent. The install was easy. I like the removable arms because you can remove them when not needed. The RM-521447-5 was a great fit for my 2017 Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4 wheel drive.

  • Comparing Roadmaster & Blue Ox Base Plates For 2023 Jeep Gladiator For Towing With Ready Brute Bars
    For your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave your options are either the Blue Ox Base Plate # BLU53FR which you found or the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR. The kit # RM-521453-5 you found does not fit your Mojave package. Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox options are very similar in design with the main difference being Blue Ox requiring you to use safety cables as a safety device. Personally I recommend going with the Roadmaster as their parts I find have better quality and you...

  • Which Rock Guard For Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates on Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Justin, good question so I checked directly with Roadmaster for you, and verified the correct rock guard for the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR on your Jeep Gladiator is the following: - Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screen # RM-4750 Definitely a smart idea getting a rock guard to keep that iconic Jeep front looking as good as new.

  • Base Plate Options For 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave For Flat Towing Behind Motorhome
    There are a couple options for base plates on your 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, which are the Roadmaster you mentioned, as well as Blue Ox. Here are the part numbers for both: - Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR - Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR To be frank, the difference between these two base plates is essentially nil. For most people it comes down to what tow bar they have, but since you don't have a tow bar yet, go with the Roadmaster. Reason for that is their tow...

  • Recommended Roadmaster Base Plate Kit for a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave
    I looked online and couldn't find a MOJAVI model so I am assuming that's a typo and you meant Mojave. With that in mind we have a couple of options for Roadmaster base plate kits for a 2023 Gladiator Mojave. The correct one for your set up will depend on whether your Roadmaster tow bar is a crossbar style or a direct connect style. If you're unsure go ahead and email me back with a couple of pictures, a name, or part number and I'll identify it for you. Crossbar Style Tow Bar - Roadmaster...

The # RM77VR will pair up perfectly with the Roadmaster Falcon All-Terrain # RM-522 which is a very popular tow bar due to its non-binding arms that allow you to quickly and easily unhook your flat...

    The difference between the # RM-154 and the # RM-152-98146-7 is the trailer connector and the umbilical. The # RM-154 provides 4 circuits to the towed vehicle, right turn/brake lamp, left turn/brake lamp, running lamps and ground. The # RM-154 would provide a 4 pin trailer connector on the front of the towed vehicle and would require that the motorhome have a 4 pin trailer connector or an adapter like # 47345. The # RM-152-98146-7 kit also provides the 4 circuits mentioned above, as...
