If you prefer a clean, factory look when you’re not towing, this design does exactly that. The hidden base plate keeps brackets tucked out of sight and the removable arms twist off in seconds, leaving nothing protruding past the front of your vehicle. The included receiver covers plug into the openings to keep dirt and debris out, so everything stays protected and ready for the next trip.
Connecting is simple with the twist-lock system. Each arm slides into its receiver, rotates until it locks in place, and secures with a pull pin—no tools or fuss. When you’re done towing, just pull the pin, rotate the arms, and remove them. It’s quick to do solo and makes setup straightforward whether you’re in your driveway or on the road.
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis using the included mounting hardware—no welding required. The sturdy steel build spreads towing forces evenly across the frame to help reduce stress on your suspension over long hauls. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion for lasting durability through years of travel.
Already have a tow bar setup you like? This base plate is designed to pair with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. It’s also adaptable for use with Roadmaster tow bars when you add adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately), or with Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). Integrated mounting points make it easy to attach an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately) so your wiring stays neat and accessible up front.
You can tackle this install with standard tools and patience since it’s a bolt-on job—no special fabrication needed. The brackets mount securely to your chassis, aligning for reliable performance once installed. With a distance between brackets of 17-1/2" and a bracket height of 14-1/2", it’s easy to plan the rest of your towing setup around these measurements.

Since installing the Blue Ox base plate I have towed my Ford Focus over 2000 miles and everything works great. The car tracks great I observe it with my rear camera and is not affected by wind gusts or big trucks passing.

After two years and many miles the baseplate is still working perfectly. No problems whatsoever. Still would recommend this product.
