The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Baseplate Kit for the 2016-2019 Ford Explorer models mounts directly to the frame for a sleek, strong towing connection. Installation is up to 30% faster than other brands, saving you time and effort. Built from computer-tested steel with a powder coated finish, it resists corrosion and wear. Each baseplate is constructed for the Explorer’s specific year and model for a perfect fit. Ideal for motorhome-mounted tow bars.
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.
