• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Ford F-150 Behind a Motor Home
  First, you have to make sure that your 2007 Ford F-150 does not exceed 5,000 pounds. If so then you can use base plates # BX2169 and they are compatible with the Allure tow bar # BX7460P. If your truck does weigh over 5,000 pounds then I recommend Roadmaster base plates # 495-1A and using Blackhawk tow bar, # RM-422, with safety cables # BX88197. This is because the capacity of the Blue Ox base plates is 5,000 pounds. Depending on what is in the truck and how it is equipped you could easily...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Ford F-150 that Weighs Over 5,000 Pounds
  Since your truck is pushing the limit of 5,000 pounds for some tow bars then I recommend Roadmaster base plates # 495-1A and using Blackhawk tow bar, # RM-422, with safety cables # BX88197. The tow bar and cables are rated for 10,000 pounds. Next you will need a lighting kit like # RM-154 for frequent flat towing or # RM-2120 for a magnetic kit for infrequent towing. And finally most states require a supplemental braking system on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the easiest to set...

• Recommended Components for Flat Towing 2002 Jeep Liberty Behind a Motor Home
  The Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plate Kit # RM-521423-4 is a good fit for your 2002 Jeep Liberty as long as your vehicle does not have a brush guard. This kit features a hidden bracket design which allows the draw bars to be easily removed via 2 pins, giving the base plates a more subtle appearance. It is also compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars. If your Jeep does have a brushguard, you can go with the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 521426-1. Prior to flat towing your vehicle, be sure to...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1966 Volvo 122S Wagon Behind a 2017 Honda Ridgeline
  Normally the first thing you would do is consult the vehicle owner's manual on whether or not your 1966 Volvo 122 can be towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. But I doubt they covered that back in 1966. The curb weight of your Volvo is approximately 5,300 pounds so the Stowmaster's 6,000 pound rating can handle that. However there aren't any custom fit base plates to attach to the front of the Volvo. I would usually recommend going with Blue Ox universal base plates, # BX88266, but they...

  For your 2000 Toyorta Camry LE we offer the EZ Series Base Plate # 521157-1 which is confirmed to fit your 4-cylinder LE. We do offer adapters to allow different brands of base plates and tow bars to be used together, but if you do not already own the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 you might want to consider using a Roadmaster tow bar to avoid the need for using an adapter, part # RM-033, which is both an additional expense and an additional connection point in your flat towing system....

• Recommendation for Magnetic Tow Lights That Can Be Used as Back-up Should Trailer Lights Fail
  It sounds to me like you are looking for a spare set of lighting that would allow you to move your trailer even if the trailer's lighting had failed. If this is the case, if your tow vehicle is equipped with a 4 way, I would recommend going with the Roadmaster Standard Magnetic Tow Lights, # RM-2120. These magnetic lights ensure that you have emergency flashers and the signal lights required for towing without having to tap into existing wiring. Just plug the lights in and you are ready...

• Parts to Flat Tow a Volvo S40 T5 Behind a Motor Home
  I checked with Blue Ox and Roadmaster and neither offer custom fit base plates for your Volvo S40 T5. But what you can do is have some universal base plates, # BX88266, professionally installed. Please consult the vehicle owners manual for specific information on flat towing the vehicle. If you can flat tow it according to the manual and use the universal base plates then for a tow bar I recommend the Alpha, # BX7380. It is rated for 6,500 pounds and includes safety cables. For lighting...

• Installing Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit Part # 521227-3 on a 2001 Volkswagen Golf
  What it seems to me, is that your current point of installing the base plates are not lined up properly per your description. It's best to have the base plates # 521227-3 parallel before any drilling for your tow bar to attach correctly. I contacted our representative at Roadmaster and they haven't experienced any mounting issues on these base plates for a 2001 Volkswagen Golf. He did mention as long as the base plates are 1/2-inch or less apart on one side, in comparison to the other side,...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 Behind an RV
  Yes, you can flat tow a 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4. Only the 4x4 models can be flat towed with all wheels on the ground. The 2-wheel drive models cannot be flat towed and would have to be put on a trailer. But since you have a 4x4 you don't have to worry about that! There are 5 main parts needed to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Roadmaster MX base plates # 3154-3.

• Can I Flat-Tow My 1993 Chevrolet Geo Tracker
  I did some research and found that your 1993 Chevrolet Geo Tracker is able to be flat-towed or towed with all 4 wheels on the ground. You will want to check with your dealership as the 2WD and 4WD models vary as to additional parts needed to be flat-towed. The item you selected, RoadMaster Tracker Tow Bar, part # RM-020, would work as a tow bar for your Tracker. If you will be towing your vehicle often, I would recommend a non-binding tow bar like the Falcon All Terrain Tow Bar, part...

• Base Plate Kit, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Light Kit Recommendations for a 1995 Jeep Cherokee
  We have two base plate kits available for your 1995 Jeep Cherokee. Both base plate kits are only for models that do not have a brushguard. First is the Roadmaster Standard Base Plate Kit, # 1402-1. But if it were my Jeep, I would go with the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, # 1418-1. The XL series brackets attach to the towed vehicle frame and provide attachment points for tow bars. The visible portions of bracket can be removed when not towing. Please note that trimming of spoiler, air...

  Yes the Roadmaster base plates # RM-521559-4 for the 2010 Honda CR-V are compatible with the Stowmaster tow bar you have. A few other things you might need (if you don't have them already from the previous vehicle) include safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643 because the coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you have some options. You can use a magnetic kit such as # RM-2120. Or for a more permanent solution...

• Can a 2008 Honda CR-V be flat Towed Behind and RV Using a Tow Ready/Reese Tow Bar 63180
  I would actually advise against using Tow Ready tow bar # 63180 for a couple of reasons. First, this tow bar is rated for a maximum of 45 miles per hour which is fine for short hops around town but useless for highway use. And second there are base plates required, # 40602, but they are going to require major modifications to the bumper and need to be reinforced so professional installation is recommended. The other option is to use custom base plates # RM-521559-4 with an adapter # RM-025...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon
  Safety cables are required to be connected from the tow bar to the tow vehicle when flat towing. A great set are the Roadmaster Coiled Safety Cables # RM-643. Some base plates include safety cables that are shorter and connect the plates to the frame of the tow vehicle. These are only necessary to instal if they are included with the base plates. #1208-1 that you referenced do not include cables. To flat tow your 1984 Volkswagen Vanagon you will also need the base plates # 1208-1 that...

  The 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer can be flat towed. If you have the 4 wheel drive Trailblazer the vehicle is towable as is, or can be towed on a tow dolly like the RoadMaster Tow Dolly, # RM-2050-1. If you have a 2 wheel drive model, a transmission lube pump is required for flat towing. The 2 wheel drive model is not recommended for towing with a tow dolly. You should confirm the towability and pre-towing procedures for any vehicle you might select with the owners manual or contact the...

• Using T-1 Wiring Harness, Part # 118407 for Lighting Vehicle Towed By RV
  The T-1 Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118407 is designed for towing a trailer behind a 2007 Chevy HHR. It will not work for towing behind an RV, because the harness is designed for output only. To light your HHR while it is towed behind your RV, you have three alternatives. You can use a magnetic mount lighting system, like part # RM-2120. This system is very easy to install and use. It also remains completely independent of the towed vehicles wiring system. For occasional towing, or...

I called my contact at Blue Ox and they told me that you can use the Blue Ox Tail Light Wiring Kit, part # BX8811, although we do not have any information about this kit and installation on a your Jeep.

• Modifications Necessary for Flat Towing 2003 Buick Rendezvous Behind RV
  According to my research, the 2003 Buick Rendezvous cannot be flat towed unless a transmission lube pump has been installed. This would hold true for either the FWD or the AWD model. We don't carry transmission lube pumps, but you should be able to find one easily by doing a Google search. The # RM-020 Roadmaster Tracker tow bar you referenced would work, as its 5000 lb capacity is sufficient to tow your Rendezvous. For a base plate, I'd recommend the Roadmaster # 3107-1. This base plate...
