When you’re not towing, this setup keeps the front of your vehicle looking stock. The completely hidden design leaves no brackets sticking out beyond the bumper, and the removable arms twist out easily for a clean, seamless appearance. Plug in the included receiver covers to keep dirt and debris out so the arms slide smoothly back in the next time you tow.
Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a pin—no tools or extra clips needed. The twist-lock system makes connecting quick and reliable whether you’re hitching up alone at home or in a campground. When it’s time to disconnect, just pull the pin, rotate the arm, and lift it free. Simple and solid every time.
This base plate bolts directly to your vehicle’s chassis using the included hardware—no welding required. The sturdy steel design spreads towing forces evenly across the frame to help prevent stress on suspension components during long hauls. A black powder-coat finish resists rust and corrosion so it holds up through years of travel.
The lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection, and adapters are available separately if you want to use Roadmaster (RM-031 or RM-031-5) or Demco (DM9523041) bars. Integrated mounting points let you attach an electrical connector bracket so your wiring stays organized up front. Specs include 24" between brackets, 13-1/2" bracket height, and a 3-year warranty for peace of mind.
You don’t need specialized tools or welding to get this installed. The base plate bolts on with the supplied mounting hardware and lines up cleanly to factory points for a straightforward setup. Once tightened down, you’ve got a dependable connection ready for thousands of towing miles ahead.

I love both products. Getting the wire harness was such a good idea. Im happy you had it or I would be using magnetic lights and that would suck. The base plate and tow bar are perfect for towing our GMC. Unfortunately the Blue Ox cover was lost on a drive without the tow vehicle. I think they need to make the straps better to ensure they stay on during no tow driving. That is the only suggestion I have.
