Tow Bar Mounting Brackets

Why our brackets are the strongest, safest and easiest to use…

• A better design — our brackets are integrated into the

frame and undercarriage of the vehicle, connecting to exist-

ing holes and fasteners wherever possible, for a quick, easy

installation by your local professional.

• Easier installation — our brackets are 30 percent quicker to

install, on average, than other brands — there are fewer com-

ponents to unbolt or remove and fewer holes to drill.

• Computer-tested — every bracket design is subjected to

computer-simulated “Finite Elemental Analysis” (see below)

to ensure structural integrity and maximum strength.

• Custom fit — every mounting bracket is custom-made to fit a

specific vehicle or range of vehicles.

• We have the bracket for your car — we have more than

What is ‘FEA?’

ROADMASTER’s computerized testing

method is called “FEA,” which stands for “Fi-

nite Elemental Analysis.”

If that sounds complicated, that’s because

it is — FEA is the same method NASA engi-

neers use to test their new designs. The au-

tomotive and biomedical industries, among

others, also use finite elemental analysis.

Every FEA design is displayed as a full-

scale, three-dimensional object, which en-

gineers can rotate and study on the screen

as they apply thousands of pounds of force

across the load-bearing components. Stress

in the steel is pinpointed and the design is

manipulated to remove it.

The result is an optimized design, in both

materials and components, which has been

tested and verified at maximum linear strain

— the strongest, safest and easiest-to-use

brackets in the industry.

ROADMASTER was the first towing prod-

ucts manufacturer to use computerized

stress testing — as well as “real world” phys-

ical testing — on our tow bars and mounting

brackets to ensure structural integrity, lon-

gevity and the safety of your family.

An engineering drawing shows the ‘hidden’ front extensions

(see page 7) and a portion of the receiver brace, which is

attached behind the fascia.

Every ROADMASTER mounting bracket is a custom design.

This one fits the 2013-2014 Ford Flex.

1,200 different brackets

available (far more than any

other company) — which fit

nearly every vehicle made

over the last 25 years.

• Baked-on finish — every

bracket is powder coated. In

this process, charged par-

ticles of pigment are baked

into the surface of the brack-

et. They fuse to the metal to

form a lustrous, uniform and

extremely durable finish.
