This setup keeps things simple and tidy up front. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit bolts right to the chassis with reinforcements tucked behind the structure, leaving only the attachment tabs visible when you’re not towing. There’s no bulky crossbar or extra hardware showing—just a clean, low-profile finish that blends in naturally with the bumper line.
You want your flat-towing gear to hold steady mile after mile, and this base plate is built for it. The sturdy steel construction spreads towing forces evenly through the frame to help prevent stress on the suspension. It’s powder coated to resist rust and corrosion, so it stays solid and dependable through long hauls and rough weather.
Getting it mounted is a clear-cut process that doesn’t call for welding or special tools. The kit bolts directly to the vehicle’s chassis using the included mounting hardware, giving you a secure fit right out of the box. The straightforward design makes it a good project for anyone comfortable turning wrenches over a weekend.
If you already have a favorite tow bar setup, this kit makes it easy to plug in. The sturdy lugs pair directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a solid, reliable connection. It also adapts for use with Roadmaster tow bars when paired with adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately), and with Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). With a bracket distance of 24" and bracket height of 14", you can plan your full tow setup around these precise dimensions.

Thanks for your review, Richard! It sounds like this was a fairly involved installation, but we're glad to hear everything came together successfully in the end. We appreciate you sharing the details of your process, especially the tips about the tight frame rail clearance and drilling challenges, as those insights may help other RV owners tackling the same project. Thanks for including the photo as well. Your finished installation looks great! Now that it's installed and you're moving on to the diode kit and brake away switch, what adventure are you looking forward to most this summer in your RV?

Glad the install went smoothly, Grant! Even with those weird handle nuts (which I agree are kind of odd). What's the first trip you have planned? And I will let Alex know what you said as well! : )

Have towed my Tacoma behind my motor home too many destinations in the last year. Still working great.
