Roadmaster 524473-5 Direct-Connect Baseplate Kit, 2023-2025 Ford Escape

Roadmaster 524473-5 Baseplates are the strongest, safest, and easiest to install and make it possible to tow your vehicle behind your motorhome. Designed for use with motorhome-mounted tow bars, the direct-connect brackets are virtually invisible and easy to mount and remove. These brackets install on your vehicle’s frame, eliminating the need for a quick-disconnect crossbar on your tow bar.

• Direct-connect brackets provide attachment points for your motorhome-mounted tow bar
• Streamlined design creates a 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 with no welding required
• Custom baseplates ensure a perfect fit to a specific range of vehicles
• Compatible with Roadmaster motorhome-mounted tow bars only
• Pins to connect baseplate to the tow bar are not included

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.
