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.
