Are Blue Ox Base Plates Available For the 2012 Toyota Corolla XRS

Expert Reply:

I spoke with my contact at Blue Ox and they have not tested the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX3781, on any 2012 Toyota Corollas and cannot give a clear answer whether it will fit or not.

I would recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plates, # 1188-1. Roadmaster has verified that these base plates will fit all models of the 2012 Toyota Corollas including your 2012 Toyota Corolla XRS. These base plates will work with all Roadmaster tow bars and they will work with Blue Ox and Demco tow bars with an adapter, # RM-033.

If you already have a tow bar, I have attached a link to a base plate adapter table that shows which adapter you can use for each tow bar with these base plates.

I have attached a few FAQ articles on flat towing that may be helpful for you to check out. I would also recommend checking your owners manual for any restrictions or limitations on flat towing your vehicle.
