If you prefer a clean look when not towing, this setup keeps things tidy. The hidden design sits flush so nothing sticks out past the front end. When you’re done towing, the arms twist off easily and the included receiver covers plug into the openings to keep out dirt and debris while giving a finished appearance. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in how your vehicle looks and how easy it is to walk around without bumping into anything.
Hooking up shouldn’t slow you down. Each arm slides into the receiver and locks in place with a simple twist. When it’s time to disconnect, pull the pin, rotate, and remove the arms—no tools needed. The straightforward design makes it easy to connect on your own whether you’re at home or out on the road.
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. The sturdy steel construction spreads towing forces evenly across mounting points to help reduce stress on suspension parts. The powder-coated finish adds rust and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability through thousands of miles of towing.
The sturdy lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure, reliable connection. If you’re running other gear, adapters (RM-031 or RM-031-5 for Roadmaster, DM9523041 for Demco) are available separately to make everything work together. Integrated mounting points also let you attach an electrical connector plug bracket so your wiring stays organized up front.
Everything is designed for a direct bolt-on fit using the included hardware—no welding necessary. The bracket spacing is 22" center-to-center with a 14" bracket height, giving you solid reference points for planning your setup. It’s a straightforward project that delivers a factory-level fit once everything is tightened down.

The plate was delivered. In the box were the boltyand hardware. I checked the packing list it was all present as far a I could tell. The
Worse instructions i have ever seen called in and blue ox told me some trucks are different even the same model truck took 2 of us 7 hours
Straight forward installation and the end product looks great.
Very pleased these base plates are heavy duty and well mad.
No issues. In fact my 2022 Denali got totaled so I removed the brackets and put them on the new 2023 Denali.
Helpful instructions and great product, the parts were top of the line and loved how the nuts for my base plate had rods welded to them to help with the installation
Great product. Installation instructions are a little vague, but with help from E trailer and Blue Ox support, I was able to make a complete install. Gret customer service.
Thanks
Work as described. Installation is much easier than the videos. You don't need to remove any bumper assembly. Unbolt original hooks and these slide right in and secure the bolts an done. I probably completed the job in less than an hour.
Ordered for 2020 GMC Denali 1500, easy install and i didn't have to remove the front bumper...
Great Product!
I have used blue ox for a long time probably 5 different trucks and have never had a problem great company and etrailer is a great company every thing I've bought from them has been outstanding
solid and simple kit for the 2021 GMC Sierra 1500. It really appears that the only reason the entire front trim has to come off is to drill two additional 1/2" holes in the truck frame to allow solid attachment of the base plate. If GM provided these, this kit would be sooo fast to install. :)
