Part 5 — the full system, connected and protected.
Gab and Ben wrap up the build with the complete picture. In this short they show the Nighthawk tow bar clicking into the Direct-Connect Baseplate — the clean, tool-free connection Roadmaster is known for — and walk through how they're protecting the Maverick from road debris on every mile of towing with the Roadmaster Tow Defender.
From the first bolt to the open road, the system is complete.
Vehicle: 2023 Ford Maverick
Baseplate: Roadmaster 524470-5
Tow Bar: Roadmaster Nighthawk
Braking System: Roadmaster InvisiBrake

The Direct-Connect system means hookup and breakaway take seconds, not a toolbox. Is your toad protected from debris on the road? Let us know your setup below!
