Designed for full size pickups and SUVs. Heavy duty frames of those vehicles eliminate the need for a crossbar, making installation of the tow bar easier. Removable drawbars make the baseplates virtually invisible when you're not towing the vehicle. MX base plates only work with tow bars that slide into a 2" trailer hitch.
Installation Notes:
Trimming the shock absorption pad, active air shutter louvers or housing, lower air dam, air deflector, cowling and/or rock guard is required on this model.
