This base plate is built stout with durable steel and precision welds that give confidence mile after mile. The sturdy design spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help prevent stress on your suspension. When you’re pulling valuable gear behind your motorhome, knowing your connection point is this solid brings real peace of mind.
No welding required here—this kit bolts directly to your vehicle’s chassis using the supplied mounting hardware. The clear layout and fixed draw bars make for a direct fit, so you can get it installed without fabrication work. For anyone who likes to handle their own setup, it’s a clean, no-fuss approach that gets you ready to tow without extra steps.
Even though the arms are fixed, the crossbar support beam blends in well with the bumper. The low-profile reinforcements keep things looking neat up front and avoid a bulky appearance when you’re not towing. It’s simple and functional, giving your vehicle a streamlined look while staying ready for travel.
This base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars to form a secure and dependable connection every time. If you’re running a Roadmaster or Demco tow bar instead, adapters (RM-031, RM-031-5, or DM9523041, sold separately) let you connect easily without changing your whole setup. With brackets spaced 24" apart and a bracket height of 14", it’s easy to plan your hitch alignment for a level tow.
Every part of this setup is built for weather resistance. The steel construction is powder coated to help ward off corrosion from road grime, moisture, and long-haul use. You’ll get lasting strength that holds up through every season of towing without worrying about flaking paint or rust spots showing up later on.

All good
received in timely fashion
Fit perfectly. Very stout unit, very happy with it.
Well built and easy to install
Working well so far.
Great product, perfect fit, pretty easy install, built very well
Works well. Fits good. A little fiddle to put on due to disassembly needed and chance of rusted bolts on midwestern vehicle. Need to cut holes in front lower facia area.
Nice fit, works well.
Great product. Easy install. Going to use to tow Jeep behind our RV.
The forks are not the same size. Passenger side too small, cannot get mating part in without a hammer. Not happy

2001 Jeep Cherokee. Product arrived quickly, fit and install were good and easy. Has seen many miles of excellent service.

The base plate delivery came quick & looks good. Installed it myself it was not to hard to install, took good portion of the day.
Received order on schedule and heavy tow bar base plate was very well packaged.

The base plate has preformed flawlessly, we towed our Jeep Cherokee about 11,500 miles during a 5 month trip we experienced one Emergency Stop without a problem.
Etrailer.com shipped the item quickly. The baseplate arrived on time. Installation was easy and all the parts fit perfectly. We towed our Cherokee the very next day to Arizona from California. Everything worked perfect.
A well-built, stout and heavy-gauge base plate with beautiful welds. It brings peace of mind for towing my Cherokee Sport cross-country behind my Class C without worry of mechanical failures on the open road. Because so much money and liability rides in tow, Blue Ox is the first choice.
