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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

Works like a charm. Vehicle has been towed from VA to Key West and back and several other closer trips with absolutely no issues.
