If you want your front end to stay clean when you’re not towing, this setup keeps it looking that way. The hidden design tucks the hardware out of sight, and the removable arms come off with a simple twist so there’s nothing sticking out past the bumper. Plug in the included receiver covers when the arms are off to keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and maintain a finished look.




Connecting your tow bar doesn’t have to be a wrestling match. Each arm slides into the base plate receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a pull pin. When it’s time to disconnect, pull the pin, rotate, and slide out. It’s a straightforward process that makes solo hookups quick and easy. The distance between brackets is 34" with a bracket height of 16-1/2", giving you solid reference points for leveling your setup.


This base plate bolts directly to the chassis—no welding required—and uses sturdy lugs that spread towing forces evenly across the frame. The heavy-duty steel construction is powder coated for rust and corrosion resistance so it stays strong through years of road use. It’s built to handle long hauls without stressing your suspension or hardware.
If you already own a tow bar you like, this kit works right into most setups. It pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection and can also be used with Roadmaster (RM-031 or RM-031-5) or Demco (DM9523041) tow bars using separate adapters. Integrated mounting points let you attach an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately) so your wiring stays tidy and ready for every trip.
You don’t need a shop to get this mounted. The kit includes all necessary hardware and bolts securely to your vehicle’s chassis using factory attachment points. It’s straightforward work that most DIYers can handle with basic tools. Once installed, you’ve got a reliable flat tow connection backed by a 3-year warranty.

All the parts arrived in good condition. They were delayed by a couple of days because of road flooding in my are. ( No ones fault just bad timing). I’ll have the parts installed soon and looking forward to trying them out!! Thanks e-trailer!!
Not so much about the products but the customer service. I added item after placing my order, Amy followed up with a phone call. Got my order amended and on the way. Received it in 2 days as promised.
Well built, easy to connect & disconnect by myself.
I am glad I spent a little more for a high quality product!
Adam was extremely helpful as are all etrailer associates. I never get any better customer service than from etrailer!
Thanks!
Seems to be perfect
Easy to install and trailer video was a big help
I ordered several items to rebuild a boat trailer from Etrailer. All items arrived on time or early. The parts were as advertised and in good condition. I was unfamiliat with Etrailer and had no trouble ordering on their very well done intuitive website.
I highly recommend Etrailer to others.

The baseplate has been in use for approximately one year and has operated flawlessly. I found that it was easy to install on my F-150 and I would purchase it again.
Great employees. From the time I ordered, I was notified on what was going on. Was delivered when promised & order was complete.
Only reason for not being 5 star was the wait for the part which is common these days. Item shipped fine and all parts were in the box and installed perfectly. Very happy with quality of this base plate.
I have done business with etrailer before. Stacey was great to work with. Even with her busy day she took time to chat with me.
This is better than the older model and the shipping was super quick.
It will be installed in a week but fast shipping as always will continue ordering from e trailers

Makes towing my truck a breeze just put the pins in and away we go great product
Quality throughout. This is my second Blue ox Base plate and I am just as impressed as the first one, Super strong and detailed installation instructions
This product from Blue ox is very strong, I would say installation difficulty is moderate. I did need to drop my intercooler to get to the bumper bolts at the inside of the frame rails. Not a big deal to anyone with experience. In their instructional video they only show one harness connector needing to be demated as you remove the bumper. In my 2023 F-150 Platinum, they were actually additional connectors and you do need to have a pry tool for wire harness clip removal as there are several harness ties to the bumper, and frame that will need to be removed for these harnesses.
RECIEVED QUICKLY NO ISSUES WITH PRODUCT
Installation when well good product good fit
Exact products I needed. Fast shipment also.
These plates are secure, easy to install, and look great on the truck. They were shipped on time, safely packaged couldn’t ask for better. That’s why I keep going back to each trailer first for anything I need on my vehicles.
Excellent customer service. Thanks

I consulted with Katie at e-trailer not sure of what to do, and she was a sure and competent voice in helping me to complete this complex function on the first try.We tow a F150 behind our Gulf Stream Endura 6340 Super C.Blue Ox makes it easy, safe, and reliable.

E Trailer has been great and Spencer was awesome from start to finish.
Easy to follow instructions worked as a dvertised
I cannot get anyone to install them. Tommy's in Vero Beach Fl wants the truck overnight into the next day. This is a 3-4 hour job. No way I'm leaving the truck overnight. All Roads Truck states its 3.0 and wants to charge $750 to install it. Port St Lucie Florida is a rough place to get anyone to do anything.
A great product; better yet was the etrailer install videos. Without the videos, I probably wouldn't have even tried the install. DYI install went great and after 1200 miles all is good.
