If you like a clean, factory look when you’re not towing, this setup makes it easy. The hidden design keeps the front end clear of bulky brackets, and the removable arms twist out quickly when you’re done towing. Receiver covers plug into the open sockets to keep dirt and debris out and leave a finished look.
Connecting your tow bar doesn’t need to be a chore. Each arm slides into the receiver and locks in place with a twist—no tools or extra steps required. When you’re ready to unhook, pull the pin, rotate, and slide the arm out. It’s quick, secure, and something you can handle solo in your driveway or at the campsite.
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. Its sturdy steel design spreads towing forces evenly across multiple attachment points to protect your suspension from stress during long hauls. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion so it’ll stay solid through thousands of towing miles.
The brackets are set 22" apart with a bracket height of 18-1/4", giving you consistent spacing for matching up your tow bar and accessories. Integrated mounting points make it easy to add an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately) for neat wiring management up front.
Already have a favorite tow bar? This base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. If you’re using a Roadmaster or Demco setup, simple adapters (RM-031, RM-031-5, or DM9523041, sold separately) let you hook up without changing your system. It’s a versatile way to keep your current gear working together smoothly.

I am glad you were able to get it installed with no issues and a little help from our video! What kind of coach are you pulling the Kia Soul with?

Its been two years since installation of the Blue Ox Baseplate. Since then, Ive flat towed the CRV from NJ to FL and back three separate times with many other shorter trips in between. Paired with a Blue Ox Tow Bar, the system has worked flawlessly since installation.

Thanks for the detailed review Chris, and the pointers! This will be most helpful to others. What was your favorite stop in those 7,000 miles? Where did you go, what did you see?

Follow up. Ive put about 8000 miles on the setup and its been great. A 34 ton suburban pulls nicely behind my Dutch star, and they dont have a steering lock so its nice not to have to retrieve keys when stopping for the night. I have used the safety cable attachment a few times for straight line pulls with a small shackle when working as a rally racing volunteer, its been fine but I wouldnt side pull on it.

Glad to hear the video was helpful Greg! But sorry to hear you are having issues with the driver side. I reached out to Blue Ox and this is what they said, "Possibly weld slag or a build up of power coating in that sides receiver. If both tabs go into the passenger side fine a new tab sadly wouldn’t help him. He can look in there to see if there’s some slag in that hole/slot and if its powder coating that will wear down as he uses the baseplate." Sorry there is not a better solution, but it will get better with time. Where did you go for your first trip with the new set-up?
