- Quick to Hook Up: Twist-lock arms insert and remove easily for fast connection and storage.

Features to know about
Made for a Clean Front End: Hidden Base Plate with Removable Arms
This base plate keeps your setup looking clean when you’re not towing. The hidden design means the brackets don’t stick out past the front, and the removable arms leave everything looking seamless once they’re off. Snap-in receiver covers keep dirt and debris out, so the connection points stay protected and ready to use.
Quick Hookup Every Time: Twist-Lock Connection with Pull Pin
Connecting the arms is simple—just insert each arm into the receiver, rotate until it locks, and secure it with the pull pin. When you’re done towing, pull the pin, rotate again, and slide the arms out. The twist-lock design makes hook-ups fast and solid whether you’re at home or on the road.
Strong and Steady for Long Miles: Heavy-Duty Steel Construction
Built from durable steel and powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, this base plate spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help protect your suspension. It’s a solid bolt-on design—no welding required—and comes with all the mounting hardware for a secure fit that holds up through long-distance travel.
Keep Using Your Tow Bar Setup: Compatible and Adaptable Design
If you already have a Blue Ox tow bar, it hooks right up without an adapter. You can also use it with Roadmaster or Demco tow bars by adding the correct adapter (RM-031, RM-031-5, or DM9523041, sold separately). Integrated mounting points let you attach an electrical connector bracket up front for a clean wiring connection.
DIY-Friendly Install: Straightforward Bolt-On Fit
This kit is designed for easy installation with basic tools—no welding needed. It bolts directly to the chassis using the included hardware. An experienced installer can expect about 3–4 hours for the job, and having a video guide helps make alignment and fascia reassembly go smoothly.

Used the video to install. Reverse left and right mounting plates had to remove and reinstall. Should be clearer on video. Threaded holes for long bolts had to be chased Mounting tubes for connector stuck out way to far, had to shorten about 2 inches, Mounting hole for breakaway should be back further.

Nicely engineered and built to fit into close quarters. This is my third install in various vehicles and this one was the most tedious due to the cramped engine bay and close-fitting front body clip. Had minor alignment issues that ultimately resolved satisfactorily.

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

I got a used set for a great price and it worked out well. my only caution is that some of the holes in my 2008 2500 suburban had to be drilled to 9/16 due to misalignment with the tapped holes in the brackets. This minor adjustment made it all go togehter easily though. Be aware, you won't have tow hooks anymore if that is something you use a lot.
Perry
10/1/2026
Follow up. Ive put about 8000 miles on the setup and its been great. A 34 ton suburban pulls nicely behind my Dutch star, and they dont have a steering lock so its nice not to have to retrieve keys when stopping for the night. I have used the safety cable attachment a few times for straight line pulls with a small shackle when working as a rally racing volunteer, its been fine but I wouldnt side pull on it.

Well designed and solidly built base plate. Very good product support from Etrailer and Blue Ox.
The four 1/2 inch by 1 3/4 inch bolts are category 5 bolts. I had a bag full of identically sized bolts which were category 8. But I did not have any whizz nuts that were category 8 nuts so I stayed with the standard Blue Ox Hardware. We used POR 15 rust preventing paint at every location where we cut the steel or drilled holes. The distance from the center of the attachment tab assembly holes to the ground is 20 inches on our 2025 Wrangler Rubicon JLU with "Xtreme" 35 inch tire package. Easy five stars for Blue Ox and etrailer.

Great products from etrailer. The videos were very helpful as I was determined to do the install myself. I’m 72 years old and thought I could do it and I did with the help of my lovely assistant, my wife. The tip on running the taillight wiring through the frame rail was great. The one problem I had was that I was never able to unplug the taillights no matter how hard I tugged on them so I had my wife hold each light while I spliced in the diodes. Very happy with the Blue Ox products and the finished look on my Jeep. Thanks again etrailer.

- Recommended Base Plates and Braking System to Flat Tow A 2016 or 2017 Ford EdgeFor a 2016 or 2017 Ford Edge, I'd recommend the Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # BX2667 for SE and SEL models excluding 2.0L EcoBoost. These base plates are a custom fit for specific vehicles, so depending on what vehicle trim/model you purchase, you will want to make sure you get the right base plates. I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency Portable Braking System # BLU37TR for your braking needs. This is a proportional braking system that will give you full-power emergency...

It is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2667 which will then require the adapter # RM-031 which works on Sterling tow bars with serial numbers up to 16,500. If the serial number on your tow bar is 16,501 or above, then the adapter # RM-031-5 is the correct fit. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the RoadMaster Sterling All Terrain Towing Combo Kit # RM-9284-2...

But since you are using a supplemental braking system I recommend using 6 diodes. First you would need the 4 diode kit, # RM-154, and then 2 additional diodes, # RM-792. You would then wire it up like the picture I have included. This will only work if the motor home also has turn signals that are on a different bulb than the brake lights. If the...

- Can All Wheel Drive 2016 Ford Edge Titanium be Flat Towed Behind MotorhomeSo I did some research on whether or not your 2016 Ford Edge Titanium AWD can be flat towed and it looks like the deciding factor is the engine size. If you have the 4 cylinder 2.0 liter engine you can't flat tow it and it must be towed on a trailer. If you have the V6 engine though you are totally safe to flat tow the vehicle as long as you follow the procedures listed in the owners manual. The Blue Ox base plate kit you'd need is the part # BX2667 if you have adaptive cruise control...
view full answer... - Can I Flat Tow a 2018 Ford Edge Behind a 2021 Tiffin Wayfarer 25TWIt looks like a Tiffin Wayfarer 25TW has a towing capacity of 5000-lbs and the curb weight of a 2018 Ford Edge tops out at 4400-lbs roughly, so you should be able to flat tow that vehicle behind it without any issues. You'll want to consult with the dealer or Tiffin for confirmation on this. When it comes to your 2018 Ford Edge, there are some variations of the Edge that are not flat-towable; if you have the 2.0L EcoBoost with an automatic transmission (6F35) then you need to tow it using...

You will need a different type of braking system for the new towed car, one that installs in it. This is among the items you'll need to flat tow a vehicle capable of being towed in this manner.

view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow a 2018 Ford Edge Behind a MotorhomeI checked out the owner's manual for your 2018 Ford Edge and it looks like you can flat tow most variations of the Edge but if you have the 2.0L EcoBoost with an automatic transmission (6F35) then you need to tow it using a dolly or with all 4 wheels off the ground. For the tow dolly option I recommend using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 which has electric brakes. To activate the brakes you will also need a 6-Way connector like part # PK11604 or a 7-Way connector like part # PK12706....

Disconnecting the battery prevents it from draining while you are flat towing. Since the owner's manual states that the battery must be disconnected I strongly recommend following those instructions and not trying to get by it somehow. That is one of the down sides to flat towing with...

The 2013 and 2018 Ford Edge SEL use different base plate designs. Base plates # BX2657 work with SEL models that do not have Active Cruise Control or the 2.0 EcoBoost motor. And they will not fit models with the Driver Assist Package. If your 2018 does have Active Cruise Control but not the EcoBoost 2.0 liter motor then you can use base plates # BX2667. These base plates will be compatible...

- Tow Bar Wiring Options for a 2016 Ford EdgeAll of the tow bar wiring harnesses we have for the 2016 Ford Edge are indeed magnetic light kits. There are no other alternatives recommended for this vehicle. I have included a link to the options for you. Among them is # RM-2120, a magnetic tow lights kit. It also looks like the battery has to be disconnected to flat tow the vehicle. To do this automatically when you connect the RV to the Edge you can use quick battery disconnect kit # RM-766.

The ones you need will depend on the model of your Edge; I recommend the Blue Ox # BX2667 if you have either the SE, SEL or Titanium model of Edge. If you have a Sport model, the base plates you need are going to depend on whether or not you have Active Cruise Control. Roadmaster...

This is rough estimate and is going to vary depending on the tools that you have available and your experience doing this type of installation. I've linked our installation video of these base plates on a similar Ford Edge that you can use to follow along with and it will definitely help with the process!

I have attached a photo which shows the two options to use the safety cables per the instructions. If you need any other parts to complete your flat-tow setup, tow bar, wiring, supplemental braking system etc. please let me know and I would be happy to recommend them.

The baseplate was a fairly complex install but was exactly what I expected for a near completely invisible installed baseplate. Was a perfect fit and quality piece... cant say the same for the blue ox wiring kit...
