Features to know about

Made for a Clean Front End: Hidden Base Plate with Removable Arms

When you’re not towing, this setup keeps things looking clean. The completely hidden design leaves no bulky brackets showing, and the removable arms twist off in seconds. Once removed, plug in the included receiver covers to keep out dirt and debris and give the front end a finished look. It’s a slick design that avoids shin bumps and keeps your vehicle looking factory fresh between trips.

Quick, Simple Hookup: Twist-Lock, Pin-Secure Connection

Hooking up doesn’t get much easier. Each arm slides into the receiver and locks with a simple twist, secured by a pull pin. When you’re done towing, pull the pin, rotate to unlock, and remove the arms. The straightforward twist-lock attachment makes connecting or disconnecting easy even if you’re working alone at the campsite or driveway.

Solid for the Long Haul: Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

This base plate bolts directly to the chassis—no welding required—and spreads towing forces evenly for a balanced pull. The durable steel frame is powder coated to resist rust and corrosion through years of use. Brackets sit flush with the front so there’s nothing protruding past the bumper, keeping things safe and tidy while ensuring strength over thousands of miles.

Keep Your Setup Flexible: Compatible Tow Bar Options

Already running a tow bar? This base plate pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure connection. If you’re using Roadmaster or Demco gear, it’s adaptable with their respective adapters (RM-031 or RM-031-5 for Roadmaster, DM9523041 for Demco—sold separately). Integrated mounting points make it easy to attach an electrical connector plug bracket so your wiring stays organized and ready to go.

DIY-Friendly Install: Bolt-On Mounting with Included Hardware

You don’t need a welder for this one. The kit bolts onto the chassis using the supplied hardware for a straightforward installation that most weekend wrenchers can handle. With clear attachment points and no welding required, it’s a practical setup for anyone who prefers doing their own work without extra fabrication.

Was an easy installation. Only problem is instructions are vague on getting nuts in frame for 7/16 bolts.

2018 Toyota Tacoma

I gave this Blue Ox Base Plate a 5 star review because it really can work for a vehicle that is not apparently supposed to be towable. There are a couple of issues with the installation: 1. the instructions assume that the existing tow hook and plate are the same on both sides of the vehicle; they are not, which means drilling hole and through-bolting the 3 bolts on the underside of the driver side; 2. the forward 3/8" bolts on each side plate are perilously close to the radiator - the lack of clearance was such that I left them out. Otherwise, the finished result is great.

2018 Toyota Tacoma

This kit was installed on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport 4x4 last summer. The directions aren't too bad if you have mechanical aptitude. It seemed that there could have been an easier mounting method. The nuts with wires welded on so you can snake them into place inside the box frame were definitely a pain in the a$$. You will need to have plenty of patience. A vehicle lift would also be an asset. It worked as well as any other Blue Ox baseplate we have had for other vehicles so no issues there.

by: Graeme 07/01/2025

Exceptionally difficult for a backyard mechanic to install. 4 of the nuts & bolts that needed to be installed in the frame I found virtually impossible to install with the wiz-nuts. Looks like a well-made system and maybe a professional could get the nuts and bolts installed.

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!

Not really, I grew up in Chicago, basically 45+ years. I have been to Wrigley many times as a child and adult. We lived about 1 mile from the park. Going to see my mom who is 95 years old. Our favorite place to visit in Chicago is Navy Pier. We try to make a day of it. Thanks for asking! EdnJudy

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.

by: Matthew 10/07/2025 One Year Later

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

Thanks for the detailed review Chris, and the pointers! This will be most helpful to others. What was your favorite stop in those 7,000 miles? Where did you go, what did you see?

by: Perry 09/24/2025

2008 Ram 2500

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 One Year Later

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.

by: Vertical Caver 12/06/2025

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.

Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2023 Toyota Tacoma
Hey Terry, to flat tow a 2023 Toyota Tacoma the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3795 would be a great choice that's confirmed to fit and easy to use. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars is the Blue Ox Avail # BX7420 which comes with safety cables. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground. For lighting you can use...

Base Plate Kit for Flat-Towing a Toyota Tacoma
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX3795 is listed in our fit guided for the Toyota. While per the manufacturer, you should not attempt to flat tow a Toyota Tacoma because you will damage the transmission/drivetrain, anything can be made to flat tow if you make enough changes. This is not the norm, and actually only a very small percentage of people will go to this much trouble and expense to make a vehicle such as the Toyota Tacoma able to be flat towed, but some do.

Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2022 Toyota Tacoma
You would need to disconnect the driveshaft and find a lube pump for the transmission to avoid damage to the drive train when towing your Tacoma. Toyota does not approve of flat towing so there is a bit of risk involved here as you would be assuming full liability in the event your vehicle is damaged. We always recommend getting a charge line kit like # RM-156-25 to prevent any issues from arising when towing your vehicle. You would want to follow the steps listed under the emergency...

Correct Blue Ox Base Plates for a 2021 Toyota Tacoma
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX3795 is a fit for a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. I spoke to Blue Ox who informed it was a carry over model. If you don't already have a tow bar, the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar part # BX7380 would be a great match. I'd also suggest the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR for a braking system and the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit part # RM-15267 for lights.

Where Does Trailer Wiring Socket Attach on with Blue Ox # BX3795
For base plate kits like the Blue Ox part # BX3795 that do not have crossbars or have wiring brackets the trick is that you'll attach the bracket to the front bumper or fascia. For example, the lighting kit part # RM-152-1676-7 comes with a 6-way connector that you'd attach to the front bumper area.
