Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Recommended Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse W/ Lower Active Shutters
    Hey Marty, you can't go wrong with either and they basically do the exact same thing, so if it were up to me I'd go with the Demco Air Force One # SM99243. They (Demco) have a pretty good track record with this system, and a lot of people have used this and been very satisfied with it. Alright with that out of the way, you're still going to need: -A base plate kit ; Since you have active shutters your only option is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU63CR, not a bad choice by any means and...

  • Can 2023 Chevrolet Traverse FWD Be Flat Towed
    Hey Robert! Yes, your 2023 Traverse FWD can be flat towed. This varies from vehicle to vehicle, and if it was allowed for AWD and not FWD it would be called out in the manual. I also pulled up the manual and it does not differentiate between the two meaning it works for any version of the Traverse. It looks like you have ordered some Blue Ox flat towing parts in the past. Do you already have a Blue Ox tow bar? If so, I recommend the following for a complete setup: -Blue Ox Base Plate...

  • Correct Base Plate Kit to Fit 2023 Chevy Traverse with Lower Active Aero Shutters
    The only base plate kit that fits with the Lower Active Aero Shutters on your 2023 Chevy Traverse is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU63CR, but keep in mind this won't work if you have the Adaptive Cruise Control. In order to hook your Falcon 2 tow bar up to this base plate kit you need the Roadmaster Tow Bar to Blue Ox Brackets Adapter # RM-031 which just replaces the current ends on your Falcon 2 tow bar.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2023 Chevy Traverse Front Wheel Drive
    Hey Denny, I noticed you said you wanted to flat tow your 2023 Chevy Traverse but you referenced a Roadmaster Tow Dolly part # RM-2050-1. Were you wanting to dolly tow or flat tow with all 4 wheels on the ground? The Roadmaster dolly that you referenced is a great choice for towing if dolly towing is the plan. Otherwise a base plate kit like the Blue Ox part # BLU63CR for if you have the lower active aero shutters or part # BLU33XR if you do not have them would be where you'd need to...

  • Base Plate Kit Options for a 2024 Chevy Traverse
    Hey Mark, We have some base plate kits that fit a 2024 Chevy Traverse as long as you have the LT (Limited) model: With Lower Active Aero Shutters - Blue Ox # BLU63CR Without Lower Active Aero Shutter - Roadmaster # RM65MR - Roadmaster # RM45MR I tried checking Chevy's website but I wasn't able to find which models have the shutter so you'll want to check with your local dealership if you aren't sure. I personally like the Direct-Connect Kit # RM65MR so that's what I recommend if...
