This setup keeps your vehicle’s front end clean when you’re not towing. The hidden design leaves the brackets completely out of sight, and the removable arms twist off easily so nothing sticks out past the bumper. Receiver covers plug into the openings to keep dirt and debris out, giving the front end a finished look when you’re parked or on the road without your tow bar attached.
Connecting your tow bar is quick and simple with the twist-lock attachment. Each arm slides into the receiver, rotates to lock in place, and secures with a pull pin—no tools or struggle required. When it’s time to disconnect, just pull the pin, twist, and remove. It’s an easy setup that makes solo hookups smooth whether you’re at home or at a campsite.
The base plate bolts directly to your chassis using the included hardware—no welding needed. Its sturdy steel build spreads towing force evenly across mounting points to reduce stress on suspension components. The powder-coated finish helps resist rust and corrosion so it stays solid through years of flat towing and long-distance travel.
If you already have a tow bar, this kit is designed to work directly with Blue Ox models for a secure and reliable connection. It can also be adapted for Roadmaster tow bars using part # RM-031 or RM-031-5, or for Demco tow bars using adapter?# DM9523041 (all sold separately). Integrated mounting points make it easy to add an electrical connector bracket up front to keep your wiring neat and accessible.
This base plate comes with all necessary mounting hardware and uses existing frame points for a secure fit. Since no welding is required, many owners install it in their own garage without special tools. The design keeps alignment straightforward so you can get set up and towing confidently once everything’s bolted down.

Excellent service and shipping. Video is very very helpful too.
Order arrived in record time and as ordered. I went through this process last week with another company and what a mess they did not answer any emails and when it arrived they had shipped the wrong kit. I have returned at my expense, bad experience. rating 1 etrailer.com gets a 10. Keep up the good work .
Excellent customer service! Product's are very heavy duty and well engineered.
Product was great installation technically different had to make a few revisions for it to fit
Works great. Works as it should. No complaints after using it for thousands of miles. Can't go wrong with a name like Blue Ox
We towed our Mini Cooper over 7,500 miles since installing this base plate. The installation was straight forward and the step by step directions were clear and accurate. We combined this base plate with the Blue Ox Adventurer tow bar and set up was easy and problem free.
Product fit great. Even better was the communication with etrailer after ordering. Paula S. was great! Thank you.
etrailer. came through again! We’ve been traveling using our blue ox system and it’s been great. Literally 10 minutes to set up and go! Perfect! thanks etrailer.
Fits perfectly on our 2005 R50 Mini Cooper! Excellent detailed instructions.
