{"product_id":"roadmaster-base-plate-524455-4-lincoln-mkz","title":"Roadmaster Tow Bar Base Plate – 2017-2020 Lincoln MKZ | 524455-4","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Roadmaster 524455-4 is an EZ4-style crossbar base plate kit made for the 2017–2020 Lincoln MKZ. A base plate mounts to the towed vehicle's frame behind the front bumper and gives the tow bar a strong, vehicle-specific attachment point for flat towing. This style works with Roadmaster tow bars and accessories by using the crossbar and\/or quick-disconnect system as the mounting platform, and the tabs are removable when you're not towing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation note from the manufacturer: trimming of front-end components, such as the shock absorption pad, active air shutter or louver housing, lower air dam, air deflector, spoiler, grille or plastic fascia, may be required. To complete a flat-towing setup, pair the base plate with a compatible tow bar, safety cables, a towed-vehicle wiring kit and a supplemental braking system. Always confirm in your owner's manual that your vehicle can be flat towed and follow its towing procedure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2017–2020 Lincoln MKZ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor use with tow bars and accessories that use a crossbar or quick-disconnect system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFitment can vary by trim, drivetrain and options.
