- Quick Hookup and Removal: Twist-lock arms attach or detach in seconds for easy setup and storage.

Features to know about
Built for a Clean Front End: Hidden Base Plate with Removable Arms
When you’re not towing, this setup blends right in. The completely hidden design keeps the front end looking clean with no bulky brackets sticking out, and the removable arms twist out easily when you’re done towing. Snap-in receiver covers keep dirt and debris out, so the next hook-up is smooth and clean.
Quick and Easy Hookup: Twist-Lock Arms for Fast Connection
Hooking up takes just a few seconds. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a pin—no tools or fuss needed. When it’s time to disconnect, pull the pin, rotate the arm, and lift it free. The simple twist-lock system makes solo hookups easy whether you’re in your driveway or at the campground.
Reliable Strength on Long Hauls: Steel Construction That Spreads the Load
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis—no welding required—and its sturdy steel design spreads towing forces evenly across the frame. That helps protect your suspension and keeps your setup solid mile after mile. The powder-coated finish resists rust and corrosion so you can count on it over the long haul.
Set It Up Your Way: Adapter-Friendly Compatibility
Already have a tow bar setup you like? This kit pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. It’s also adaptable for use with Roadmaster (adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5) or Demco (adapter DM9523041) tow bars, all sold separately. Integrated mounting points make it easy to add a bracket for your electrical plug to keep wiring neat and secure up front.
DIY-Friendly Install: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware
You can tackle this one at home without special tools or welding gear. The base plate bolts securely to the chassis using the included hardware and lines up cleanly for a straightforward install. With bracket spacing of 24" and a bracket height of 13-1/2", it’s easy to plan your setup around your tow bar height for a reliable, level connection every time.

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.

I purchased the Blue Ox tow plate and tow bar....a friend installed the tow plate and said he was impressed. I used it twice now and seems to work great and no issues. Nice one man operation. The light kit had no instructions for the KIA Soul that I purchased it for so I sent that back. I'm not sure why it stated it was for it and had instructions or call an 800 number neither of which were correct. I like the removable tubes. I wish the tow bar had come with a cover. I've seen some covered and it looks like it protects the bat while still attached to the tow vehicle.

Good product at a good price. I needed about six to seven hours to installit, but I saved over $1,000. The best part of the experience was the service from e-trailer folks, like Tori B.

What I like most is the ease of use of this base plate. It makes hook up and removal of my tow vehicle simple and easy. More importantly, I feel very confident that my tow vehicle is safe and secure when being towed behind my motorhome.

Base plate kit - around 40 lbs - was delivered by UPS in less than 48 hours from online order with normal free shipping. Great service! My local RV dealer will do the installation. The superb etrailer video on Kia Soul installation convinced this 72 yr old that it is not a job for me and it is best to go with a professional.
