When you’re logging thousands of towing miles, you need hardware that stays solid. This Blue Ox base plate kit is made from high-strength steel and finished with a durable powder coat for rust and corrosion resistance. It spreads the load evenly for a stable connection and peace of mind over long hauls.
When you’re not towing, the removable bracket arms come off for a nearly invisible look. There’s no bulky crossbar or protruding steel left behind, keeping the front end clean and factory-smooth. It’s a smart setup that protects your shins and keeps your ride looking sharp.
Connecting to your tow bar is straightforward thanks to the twist-lock removable arms that click securely into place and release just as easily. Integrated safety chain attachment points give you an extra layer of towing security right where you need it, so hook-ups stay both clean and compliant.
No welding required—this base plate bolts on with minimal drilling using the supplied hardware. The precision fit makes alignment easier, helping you get the job done right whether you’re in the garage or driveway.
This kit includes integrated mounting points so you can easily attach an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately). It streamlines your wiring and braking system hookups, keeping everything neat and within easy reach once you’re ready to tow.

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.
