When you’re not towing, this setup keeps your vehicle looking like it just rolled off the lot. The completely hidden design means no bulky brackets or crossbars hanging out up front. The removable draw bars twist out in seconds, and the included receiver covers close off the openings to keep out dirt and moisture while giving the bumper a finished look. It’s a tidy solution that doesn’t get in your way when walking by.
Connecting your tow bar doesn’t have to be a chore. Each arm slides into its receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a simple pin. When you’re done towing, just pull the pin, give the arm a twist, and remove it—no tools, no fuss. This straightforward system makes it easy to hitch up solo whether you’re at home or setting up at a campsite.
This base plate bolts directly to your vehicle’s chassis for solid strength without any welding. Its sturdy design spreads towing forces evenly to help reduce stress on your suspension. With durable steel construction and a rust-resistant powder coat finish, it’s ready for thousands of miles of towing without worry.
Already have a tow bar? This base plate pairs right up with Blue Ox models for a secure connection using its sturdy lugs, or you can add adapters for Roadmaster (RM-031 or RM-031-5) and Demco (DM9523041) tow bars if needed. Integrated mounting points make it easy to attach an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately) so your wiring setup stays neat and organized up front.
If you like tackling projects yourself, this one’s approachable. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and doesn’t require welding or major fabrication. Once bolted in place, the base plate aligns precisely so everything fits as it should—distance between brackets is 20" and bracket height is 11". It’s a clean install that sets you up for reliable flat towing down the road.
