Today we are going to show you part number RM-576 from Roadmaster. This is their Sterling All Terrain tow bar. We will be installing this on a 2006 Jeep Liberty. Our Jeep here already has the base plates installed so we are going to concentrate on the tow bar. We have got the parts laid out in the order of assembly. Starting off with these two pieces right here, these are the adapter parts that go to your face plate that is mounted on your vehicle which allows you to connect this cross bar to the base plates and then to this cross bar the sterling all terrain tow bar mounts to it. Start with the brackets that are listed for the driver side and passenger side of a car. This will get mounted up like this and then the bracket for the safety chains is going to get mounted on the bottom like this. Go ahead and bolt up these two halves and put the assembly on to the tow bar bracket. 01:00

Oh, ok. That's all I really wanted to know. I'm planning on towing a JK wrangler with my Audi Q5. I was worried that towing it on the highway might send it all over the place, but talking to a few trailer places and your reply has set my mind at ease.

@fourbypete I'm glad you feel better! Let me know if you have any other questions about your towing setup, I am here to help!

@ etrailertv That doesn't really answer my questions, If the front tires of the towed vehicle don't turn when turning a corner won't you effectively be dragging the front of the towed vehicle into the corner?

[etrailertv]

@fourbypete When you are towing a vehicle, the vehicle being towed will follow the tow vehicle. When you are towing, you unlock the steering column and the force that the tow vehicle puts on your car will cause the wheels of the car to turn as well. There is slightly more tire wear on a car when it is towed long distances, but it will follow the vehicle that is doing the towing.

When you turn a corner, what stops the steering wheel in the towed vehicle from turning also?

When you turn a corner, does the towed vehicle's front wheel drag diagonally into the corner? If so, the front tires would wear out fairly quickly on a long trip..

@fourbypete Before you tow your vehicle, you need to make sure that it is safe to tow. Your owner's manual should let you know if you car can be flat-towed or if you need a tow dolly. If it can be flat-towed. you would need to set your steering and transmission to 'tow' mode and it will keep your car from suffering any damage. If you have any other questions, please let me know. I would be glad to help!

Would be easier and quicker to just use a normal towing A-Frame.
