This setup keeps your vehicle’s front end looking clean when you’re not towing. The completely hidden design means the brackets don’t stick out past the bumper, and the removable arms come off with a simple twist. When detached, you can plug in the included receiver covers to keep out dirt and debris and maintain a finished look.
Hooking up takes just a quick insert, twist, and pin. The twist-lock arms slide right into the receivers and lock into place, keeping your setup secure every time. When it’s time to disconnect, just pull the pin, twist, and remove. It’s simple enough for one person to handle at home or on the road.
The base plate bolts directly to the chassis using the included mounting hardware—no welding needed. Its sturdy steel construction spreads towing force evenly across the frame to help reduce stress on your suspension. The powder-coated finish helps resist rust and corrosion so it stays solid through years of towing miles.
The base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection every time. If you’re using a Roadmaster or Demco tow bar instead, it adapts easily with the correct adapter (RM-031, RM-031-5, or DM9523041, all sold separately). It even includes mounting points for an electrical connector plug bracket so you can route wiring neatly up front.
You don’t need specialized tools or welding gear to get this installed. The base plate bolts securely to factory mounting locations on the chassis for a straightforward installation you can tackle in your own garage. With clearly marked attachment points and all hardware included, it’s a solid weekend project that gets you ready to tow confidently.

After using the items I reviewed, about 6,000 miles, I am more than satisfied. The towing setup is easy to hook up and unhook and the braking system is second to none. All of the installation was completed by myself and a friend, both of us have a technical background him more than me and we found the videos of the installation extremely helpful.Thank you for following up and providing excellent products as well as support services.
