When you’re not towing, this setup keeps your front end looking clean. The hidden design means the brackets don’t protrude past the bumper, and the arms remove easily with a twist. Once they’re off, plug in the included receiver covers to block out dirt and debris and keep everything tidy.
Getting ready to tow is simple with the twist-lock system. Just insert the arms into the receivers, rotate until they lock, and secure with the pin. When it’s time to disconnect, pull the pin, twist the arm, and remove it. The connection points are spaced 18" apart at a bracket height of 16-1/2", so you can match your tow bar setup precisely for smooth alignment.
This base plate bolts directly to your chassis with the included mounting hardware—no welding required. The sturdy steel build spreads towing forces evenly across the frame to help prevent stress on your suspension. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion, giving you dependable strength over long distances.
You don’t have to give up your existing tow bar system. This base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure fit, and it can also be adapted for Roadmaster (RM-031 or RM-031-5) or Demco (DM9523041) setups when used with their respective adapters, each sold separately. Integrated mounting points let you attach an electrical plug bracket to keep all your gear organized up front.
If you like tackling projects yourself, this one’s manageable in an afternoon. The base plate bolts securely to the chassis using factory-style hardware. It’s a straightforward install that eliminates welding and gives you a solid connection point for reliable flat towing right from your driveway or garage.

Still working as well as it did on day one. My only issue was I lost or misplaced my plastic pin hole plugs. When I wrote Blus Ox they told me a new set was I think $10-20. I went to Lowe’s and bought 2 black rubber corks for about $5. Been working just fine all winter long. They look nice as well.

The torque specs are listed by bolt size on the first page of the installation instructions. We dont specifically mention the torque ratings in the videos because the manufacturer can change them over time.
