Features to know about
Made for a Clean Look: Hidden Base Plate with Removable Arms
If you like keeping your front end uncluttered when you’re not towing, this setup does exactly that. The hidden design keeps the brackets out of sight and leaves a clean appearance. The arms remove with a simple twist, and the included receiver covers plug the openings to keep dirt and debris out while maintaining a finished look.
Quick Hookups Every Time: Twist-Lock Attachment System
Getting ready to tow is straightforward with the twist-lock design. Just insert the arms into the receivers, rotate them until they lock into place, and secure with the pin. When you’re done, pull the pin, twist to release, and remove the arms. It’s a simple system that makes connecting and disconnecting quicker whether you’re in your driveway or at a campsite.
Built for Long Miles: Durable Steel Construction That Spreads the Load
This base plate bolts directly to your chassis using the included mounting hardware—no welding required. The sturdy steel design spreads towing forces evenly to prevent stress on your suspension. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion so it can handle thousands of miles of travel without worry.
Adaptable Setup: Works with Multiple Tow Bar Brands
Already have part of your towing setup? This kit pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. If you use Roadmaster or Demco tow bars, it’s adaptable with their specific adapters (RM-031 or RM-031-5 for Roadmaster, DM9523041 for Demco, each sold separately). This flexibility helps you build or reuse a towing setup that fits what you already have.
Straightforward Install: Secure Bolt-On Fit
Installation is direct and does not require welding. The base plate bolts securely to your chassis with the included hardware, creating a strong connection point for your tow bar. Specs are measured for planning your setup—distance between brackets is 20" and bracket height is 13-3/4". Once installed, it’s ready for reliable flat towing whenever you are.

Fit perfectly on our vehicle. It wasn’t as easy to install as I thought it would be or as the instructions made it out to be. Once installed however, it is now easy to use.

Initially trying to drill into the frame was challenging but once I stopped being in such a hurry it turned out well just needed to be patient and follow the instructions

Instruction about pushing the base plate back is a little vague. The importance of knocking the base plate back so it is lined up with bumper reinforcement is I think the most important 1st thing that should be talked about. Without this info you may find yourself with a bumper cover that won't fit like it came from the factory.

Installation directions were very helpful.
I had to remove & not use I believe plastic air directional the bottom section on both sides the baseplate was in the way
All else ok

lways great to shop at etrailer, especially the tech experts. Royce did an awesome job with our order. Everything fit perfectly and the help video provided the guidance I needed.
We installed the baseplate on our 2023 Encore GX AWD as well as the light harness and breakaway switch. A couple of items were incorrect but Royce corrected the issues with no problems.
Thanks again etrailer!

Super high quality baseplate for towing by Blue Ox. Instructions, videos, shipping (one day!) and overall experience was awesome. A bit pricey but their quality and the additional support by E Trailer cannot be beat! BTW (E Trailer) the baseplate fits three different Jeep configurations but did not call out the Recon package. After looking at other brands which showed there's to fit the 3 variations AND the Recon, I figured it would fit and it DID. You should definitely upgrade to include the Recon Edition.

I looked into every brand/model available and this was the beefiest. There is cutting and trimming required on all brands, so why not get the strongest? If you're slightly handy with a toolbox, you can easily do the install yourself and save thousands.

The Blue Ox base plate for my 2015 Kia Soul is well manufactured and, with a little bit of mechanical skill, easy to install. It fit perfectly without issues. Brad from etrailer provides a step-by-step installation video that is outstanding and nicely guides through the process from beginning to end. I highly recommend this Blue Ox base plate from etrailer.

2019 Ford Ranger baseplate worked and fitted fine for me. 73 yrs old took me a couple hours but took many breaks. Younger could do it less than hour I'm sure.
Also works fine with my Blue Ox tow bar.

I installed this myself on a 2012 CR-V EXL AWD. The directions are straightforward. The system works very well and is easy to use.
Fair warning .. because the car is older, just about every clip that holds the grill and bumper in place broke when taking them off. Replacing all those clips with OEM parts is expensive!
BUT, that doesn't retract from the quality of the baseplate or it's use ability.
This is the third different Blue Ox baseplate system I have bought and installed and all of them were excellent!

Its been two years since installation of the Blue Ox Baseplate. Since then, Ive flat towed the CRV from NJ to FL and back three separate times with many other shorter trips in between. Paired with a Blue Ox Tow Bar, the system has worked flawlessly since installation.

Fits my 2013 mini cooper non turbo. Does take a few hours to install this Fit was good. The hardest part is removing the front bumper and reinstalling it. You do have to cut the lower bumper grill in three places take your time locating the exact spots for cuts. I have pulled Mini Cooper about seven thousand miles now with this Blue Ox and has worked great

- Tow Bar Recommendation for Blue Ox Base Plate Kit on a 2011 Ford FiestaGreat question! The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2622 for your 2011 Ford Fiesta has a distance of 20" between the brackets while the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 is compatible with brackets that are spaced 23" - 30" apart so we'll need to get you a different tow bar. For your application I recommend going with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR which will work with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit and it stores on the hitch receiver of your motorhome....

You could use a magnetic light kit, # RM-2120, a bulb and socket kit, # RM-155, or a diode kit, # 154-792-118158. The magnetic light kit will be the most cost effective option and the least permanent. The diode kit is the most involved of the installations and requires splicing into the vehicle wiring for installation. The bulb and socket kit bypasses the vehicle wiring...
view full answer... - Will Blue Ox Tow Bar Fit Base Plates With Removable Arms & Fixed Arms on 2014 Ford FiestaSo it really just depends on the tow bar you have, as you would need an adapter for a Blue Ox tow bar to go with a fixed arm base plate, and the adapter only fits certain Blue Ox tow bars. The Blue Ox base plates only have removable arms, and the difference between it and base plates with fixed arms is the model of 2014 Ford Fiesta they fit. Most people prefer the base plates with removable arms because they offer your vehicle a cleaner look when you aren't flat towing, as the arms won't...
view full answer... - 2011 Ford Fiesta Base Plate Recommendation Each of the confirmed fitting baseplates will require the same process to install so I recommend sticking with Blue Ox so that you don't need to buy any adapters. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms Item # BX2622. I've attached an install video to walk you through the steps if you plan on installing this yourself.
