Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate - RM92ZR

  • 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.

The biggest aspect of installing these was the need to cut 2.5" x 4" from the existing front bumper mounting plates. It is a necessary step and actually is outlined in the instructions. But the instructions need to indicate that the steel plate is 3/16" thick. So unless your workshop has metal fab tools, you will have a very tough time cutting this metal from the front bumper mounting plate. Also, the need to enlarge a 7/16" hole to 9/16" in the frame has a similar story. You need a 9/16" carbide tip drill bit or a carbide reaming tool. This size drill bit (in carbide) is somewhat unique for a DIY guy. ANd even a heavy duty carbide reamer is not a common tool. So while I know the instructions say "Please consider professional installation", the instructions really should indicate you're going to be cutting hardened steel so you can decide if you have the right tools or can have them in hand prior to starting this project. Overall, the base plate kit will be a good solution for flat towing and is well-built with a solid mounting. But it takes a bit to install it in terms of proper tools.

i have only towed this vehicle once, but they were easy to install and will do very nice if and when i tow the vehicle.

Very good service from trailer! Kimberly O was outstanding with her knowledge about products. The Roadmaster base plate was expertly made. There were a few minor deviations from the Roadmaster instructions which were clarified with a call to Roadmaster tech help.



by:

Very easy to install. Drop the skid plate, take off the tow hooks, install the tow brackets. The bolts are a little tricky, have patience! About a 2hr job. Not cutting of anything.



by:

Looks great and was relatively easy to install. From beginning to end about 5 hours but I did do it by myself so this slowed me down a bit.

    Hi Kameko; since your 2023 Ford Bronco has the Signature LED lights you will need to purchase the # RM68MR separately to complete the installation of the # RM-8700, In addition to the supplemental braking system you will also need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, and tow bar wiring.

  • Recommended Base Plate and Tow Bar for a 2023 Ford Bronco With Modular Steel Bumper
    While you probably could use the recovery points to fat tow your Bronco the other issue you're going to run into is finding an adapter that will work. As of right now, nobody in the industry makes an adapter like what you're needing so with that being said your best bet is to use a proper base plate. I recommend going with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # RM92ZR. This kit is fairly inexpensive considering the ladder and has a virtually invisible drawbar when...
