Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM77ZR

  • 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.

Fitment was great with no issue on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Overland.
Note: if you intend to keep the tow hooks, this kit will leave empty holes. It is possible to keep the tow hooks with modifications as shown in my pictures, but at your own risk.

  • Is the Mopar Flat-Tow Wiring Harness Needed for a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL
    I checked the owner's manual for a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL and there was no mention of the Mopar Flat Tow Wiring Harness therefore this is not required. That said, you will need a base plate kit, safety cables, tow bar, wiring harness, and supplemental braking system. I have attached a list of these for you below.

If you haven't picked out the rest of your setup then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267.

  • Recommended Baseplate For A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Vehicles with active air shutter will typically have to either have to have them removed or trimmed in order to fit a baseplate and wouldn't be something that would based on the trim level. This happens quite a bit with the Chevy Equinox and isn't a major deal as long as the installer isn't being careless and cutting off more than he needs to. To determine which models are going to have active air shutters you would need to reach out to Jeep to confirm. For a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee...

    The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM77ZR for models with tow hooks or part # RM76RR for models without tow hooks is what I recommend for a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WL.
