Features to know about

Made for a Clean Front End: Hidden Base Plate with Removable Arms

This setup keeps your vehicle’s front end looking clean when you’re not towing. The hidden design means no bulky brackets or crossbars stick out, and the removable arms come off with a simple twist. When the arms are out, receiver covers plug into place to keep dirt and debris out of the sockets and give the base plate a finished look.

Hook Up Fast and Easy: Twist-Lock Removable Arms

The twist-lock system makes connecting and disconnecting quick and straightforward. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures in place with a pin. When you’re done towing, pull the pin, rotate, and remove the arms. It’s a smooth process that makes hooking up solo or in tight spots simple and reliable.

Solid Where It Counts: Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

This base plate bolts directly to your chassis—no welding required. The sturdy steel design spreads towing forces evenly to help prevent stress on your vehicle’s suspension. Powder-coated steel resists rust and corrosion, giving you confidence for long-distance towing.

Keep Using the Tow Bar You Already Own: Broad Adapter Compatibility

If you already have a tow bar setup, this base plate works with Blue Ox tow bars right out of the box. It can also be adapted for use with Roadmaster tow bars using adapter # RM-031 or # RM-031-5 (sold separately) or with Demco tow bars using adapter # DM9523041 (sold separately). Integrated mounting points let you easily attach an electrical connector plug bracket so your wiring stays neat and ready to go.

DIY-Friendly Setup: Straightforward Bolt-On Installation

You won’t need to weld anything for this install—the kit bolts securely to your vehicle’s chassis with the included mounting hardware. With a bracket distance of 20" and bracket height of 19", it’s easy to plan your layout before tightening everything down. The clear design makes it a manageable project for anyone who likes getting hands-on in the garage.

The only thing negative would be the bolt holes on the base plate were not exact to my 2004 Jeep liberty not real bad so I was able to make it work just fine. Overall good product. Can't wait to hook up to the RV and go.

Very good have no problems



by:

The etrailer service was great as usual, but like other was very disappointed in the fasteners that were provided. Two of the four main bolts stripped when torqued to the recommended level. $20 trip to the hardware store to get grade 8 bolts solved the issue, but I should not have needed to make this upgrade. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.

1 year follow up. The blue ox baseplate has seen a lot of use and has performed flawlessly. My only complaint is that the paint has flaked off some of the parts and they are starting to rust.




by:

Fit perfectly. Did not have to cut or alter a single bumper panel. Very little modification to hide the brake light and break away connectors.

    Hey Mich! Looking at the installation instructions for the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1119 and your 2002 Jeep Liberty 3.7L Renegade, the bumper will need to come off for the installation, even though you have tow hooks installed already.
