If you like your vehicle to look stock when you’re not towing, this kit keeps things tidy. The main body sits out of sight behind the fascia, and the removable arms twist out when you’re done towing so nothing sticks out from the bumper. It leaves you with a clean, factory-style appearance and keeps your front end free of bulky hardware.
Connecting your tow bar doesn’t have to be a chore. The twist-lock tabs let you attach or remove the arms in seconds—no tools, pins, or extra fuss needed. When it’s time to roll, just twist to lock in place for a solid connection; when you’re parked, twist them back out for a smooth look that’s ready for daily driving.
This setup isn’t just about convenience—it’s built to handle serious miles. The high-strength welded steel construction spreads towing forces evenly across the frame for a stable, balanced pull. Each base plate is tested to the vehicle’s gross weight rating (GVWR), so you can tow with confidence knowing it’s engineered for real-world stress.
Whether you’re driving through rain or road salt, this base plate can take it. Curt’s two-step process combines a liquid Bonderite coating with a durable black powder coat, giving long-lasting corrosion resistance that keeps your setup looking sharp year after year.
Already own a tow bar setup? This base plate works with Curt and Blue Ox models right out of the box and can be adapted for Roadmaster systems. That flexibility makes it easy to build or update your towing setup without starting from scratch.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Curt custom base plate kit with removable arms. Now this has been specifically designed to fit your 2023 and newer Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyons, and on custom fit parts such as these base plates, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you, or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, when it comes to towing, fit and function are going to matter.
That's why each Curt base plate kit is custom engineered for your exact vehicle. This is going to align perfectly with existing attachment points. The result is going to be a secure factory style setup that's going to blend seamlessly with your bumper and frame, so it's going to look like that it came straight from the manufacturer. Now, hooking up your tow bar could not be easier. Curt's twist lock tabs are going to let you connect or disconnect in seconds.
So no tools, no fuss, and lemme just give you a brief demonstration of that. When you're not towing, you can simply remove the tabs, giving you a clean un-obstructive look. So obviously I have these connected in, and so hopefully you can see here I do have a ring here that I'm gonna pull, and that's going to release the post that's securing it. And then I'm gonna give it a twist. And then that's going to allow me to easily remove the tab.
And then when I'm ready to flat tow, I'm just gonna put that back in, and then give it a twist like that. And then if you listen, (metal clacks) that's going to click right into place. So very easy to get these, if you wanna call 'em arms or tabs, you can either remove them or easily secure them back into place, and you're gonna be ready to go. Each plate is precision welded from high strength steel, so they're also physically tested to your vehicle's GVWR, giving you proven strength and lasting durability. The smart design is also going to distribute towing loads evenly across your frame.
And what that's gonna do is that's gonna help reduce stress on your suspension and keep your toe set up stable mile after mile. Road grime, salt, and rain are not going to stand a chance against this kit, because Curt has a two step finish. A bond ride coating is layered beneath a high gloss black powder coat; that's gonna give you long-term corrosion resistance and a sleek professional appearance that is going to last the long haul. Each kit does include the safety cables here for secure attachment and peace of mind on every trip. You're gonna get the hardware that you see here. I wanted to mention that when you do remove these arms or these tabs, you can put these caps in to keep the hole here clear of debris and things like that, just kind of give it a finished look. So that's a nice added touch. So everything that you see here, along with instructions to guide you through the installation process. The distance between the brackets is gonna be 30 and 3/8 inches. The bracket height is 15 inches. So with Curt's custom base plates, you're gonna be able to hit the road with confidence knowing that your setup is strong, secure, and made to match your vehicle perfectly. If you have any questions, whether it's about this base plate kit or anything else that we carry here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach back out to us, 'cause we wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Base Plates mounted on my 2022 Ford Bronco is holding up 100. Great quality finish that has not rusted. I have seen base plates from other companies being installed on Broncos and they are making major modifications. Not my Curt Custom Base Plates. An easy DYI with no major modifications. We have towed our Bronco 13,000 miles behind our Class A and its a flawless tow. These base plates were also priced much better then other brands. Thank you Etrailer!
