If you care about how your vehicle looks when it’s not being towed, this setup keeps things neat. The hidden design leaves no brackets sticking out, and the removable arms twist off in seconds for a clean, factory-style finish. When the arms are off, you can plug the receivers with the included covers to keep dirt and debris out. No bulky metal sticking out means less chance of catching your leg as you walk by.




Getting connected shouldn’t take a wrestling match. Each arm slides into the receiver and locks in place with a simple twist, then secures with the pull pin. To disconnect, just pull the pin, rotate, and remove the arm. It’s a quick and solid setup that works smoothly even when you’re hitching up solo or on uneven ground.


This base plate bolts straight to the chassis—no welding required—and spreads towing forces evenly to help prevent stress on suspension components. The steel frame is powder-coated to resist rust and corrosion through weather, road spray, and long-distance trips. The included mounting hardware keeps everything tight and dependable for thousands of towing miles.
If you already have a tow bar setup you like, this base plate fits right into it. It pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. It can also be adapted for use with Roadmaster tow bars using adapter # RM-031 or # RM-031-5, or with Demco tow bars using adapter # DM9523041 (all sold separately). This flexibility makes it easy to reuse existing gear without having to start over.
You don’t need to be a pro mechanic to install this kit. It bolts securely to the vehicle’s chassis using the included mounting hardware—no welding required—and provides integrated mounting points for an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately). Clear design features make alignment simple, turning this into a manageable weekend project for anyone comfortable with basic tools.
