The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Baseplate for select Ram Pick-Up models features reinforced steel construction and a weather resistant powder coated finish. It installs directly to the vehicle’s frame and skips the need for a crossbar. The arms are removable and snap in easily when needed, keeping your vehicle’s front clean when not towing. Designed with fewer parts, it helps professionals install faster and more efficiently.
Note: Roadmaster direct-connect baseplates will only work with Roadmaster tow bars that slide into a trailer hitch, such as the Blackhawk, Blackhawk 2, Falcon, or Falcon 2. These baseplates will not work with tow bars that require a hitch ball.
