Features to know about

Built for a Factory-Look Finish: Hidden Main Body with Removable Arms

This base plate keeps the front of your vehicle looking clean when you’re not towing. The concealed main body leaves no visible crossbar, and the removable arms come off in seconds for an OE-style appearance. With no bulky hardware sticking out, it stays out of the way when parked or driving around town.

Quick Hookups on the Road: Twist-Lock Tabs for Easy Connection

Hooking up your tow bar doesn’t get much simpler. The twist-lock tabs let you slide the arms in, turn to secure, and pin in place. It’s a solid mechanical connection that makes setting up fast and straightforward—whether you’re in the driveway or at a campsite.

Strength You Can Trust: Welded Steel Construction and Even Load Distribution

The sturdy welded steel design spreads towing forces across the chassis to reduce stress on the frame and suspension. Each kit is physically tested to the vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), so you can count on dependable performance mile after mile. A high-gloss black powder coat with liquid Bonderite coating protects against rust and road wear for long-term reliability.

Straightforward Install: Bolt-On Mounting with Included Hardware

There’s no welding required here—just bolt it on using the supplied hardware and existing mounting points. The kit includes safety cables and all the parts needed for installation, making it approachable for DIY setups or shop installs alike.

Ready for Your Tow Bar Setup: Compatible with Curt and Blue Ox Tow Bars

Already have a tow bar you trust? This base plate works directly with Curt and Blue Ox tow bars, so you can connect right up without adapters. Bracket spacing is 24" with a bracket height of 17-3/4", giving you exact specs to plan your setup before hitting the road.

The package was delivered to my home with no damage. The baseplate with its parts along with the rest of my order was all packed neatly with extra cardboard and paper packaging material around everything so nothing would get damaged in transit.
The installation instructions were clear. The parts fit perfectly. I’ve purchased parts from etrailer before and never had any problems. Also, the few times I’ve had questions I’ve always been able to talk to someone who is knowledgeable and very helpful.

Etrailer is with out a doubt the best supplier in the market today. they are on time every time and there support is excellent.

Fit like it was made for it. :) Only issue was the fishing wires for the bolts in the frame. They would not fit through the holes in the locking plates so I couldn't use them. I used a magnet stick instead and it worked well. I did not put on the safety cables around the frame. I figure since this thing bolts to the steering box, if it comes off so does the steering box and then I have much bigger issues that these cables are not going to help.

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!

Disassembly of the front clip of the Colorado was challenging as far as fit up curt kit worked well. The gal at etrailer was very knowledgeable fast shipping. Finally every time I do business with you I’m never disappointed.

Jaime was very helpful in getting the right baseplate for my Jeep Cherokee and in retuning the wrong item which I ordered myself.
The baseplate installed easily and will be used for the first time next week. Also, the curt base plate did not require any trimming whatsoever of the plastics on the front of the car.
Thanks Jaime

This is not the first time I have purchased from ETrailer, but by far the best experience yet. I was treading in uncharted waters and decided to call, i happened to get Paula S. And she was able to educate me on the subject at hand. She also made sure I was ordering all the right parts for the task at hand. I received the two boxes of parts and assembled everything on the vehicle and noticed i was missing something so I called back and talked to Ashley. She assured me that Paula did order the missing part and that it would be here the next day. (Delayed due to holiday) You can sure tell both ladies love their jobs and liked taking care of us customers. I will always try to deal with them when I need something towing related.

Hey Richard! Paula an Ashley are always on the ball so I'm glad that they got to help you out. I see you pretty much got a full flat tow set up, have you started making any plans yet of where to venture off to yet?

Do you have a question about this Tow Bar Base Plate?
  • Is Curt Base Plate Kit for a 2006 Jeep TJ Compatible with a Blue Ox Tow Bar
    Yes, the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C32KR for your 2006 Jeep TJ will also fit with a Blue Ox tow bar. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.

  • Will Installation of Curt Custom Base Plate Kit on 2003 Jeep TJ Reduce Ground Clearance
    Hi Stephen; yes, installation of the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C32KR will reduce ground clearance at the front of your Jeep. This hangs down below the bumper as seen in the photo below. The distance from the ground to the center of the brackets is 17-3/4" so that will give you a good idea on where this sits. Do you have the rest of your parts picked out to flat tow your Jeep?

  • Does the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit Require Drilling to Install on a 2004 Jeep Wrangler?
    Hey Tim. The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C32KR does not require drilling. It installs in existing holes on your 2004 Jeep Wrangler. Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your Jeep: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates item # e47ZR Wiring Harness - Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # HM56202 Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item...

  • Compatibility of Curt Base Plates With Blue Ox Tow Bars
    The Curt # C32KR base plate kit for a 2006 Jeep Wrangler is fully compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar, they'll work just fine together. You'll also need a few other items such as safety cables like # RM-643, a taillight wiring harness like part # RM-15267, a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR and possibly a high/low adapter if there's more than a 3 inch height difference between the base plates and the receiver on the motorhome.

  • Parts Needed To Flat Tow a 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ Using Blue Ox Tow Bars
    Yes, the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C32KR will work with the factory standard bumper on your 1999 Jeep Wrangler TJ. These removable mounts are going to be compatible with Blue Ox tow bars like the Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. The Hopkins Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit # HM56202 will allow you to plug and play your TJ tail lights to work with your motorhome tail lights. This will come with a 4-way flat connector but I recommend using the Roadmaster 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Kit...

  • Tow Bar that is Compatible with Curt Base Plate Kit that Fits 1998 Jeep Wrangler
    For the Curt base plate kit 70112 (our part number # C32KR) you would need to go with a compatible tow bar with it like the Blue Ox Acclaim part # BX4330 as there isn't an adapter solution that is available that would allow it to connect to your Harbor Freight tow bar.

    Yes, the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit, # C32KR is a confirmed fit for the 2005 Jeep TJ. It is compatible with Curt and Blue Ox tow bars. I suggest the Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar for Curt and Blue Ox Base Plates, # C26FR. This will have the needed safety cables with it, so no additional purchase needed. Other parts you may need to flat tow your TJ are, wiring for the lights, a supplemental braking system, and a high-low adapter. To power the Jeep's lights the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to...

  • Will 2006 Jeep TJ Curt Base Plate Kit and Roadmaster Adapter Work Together?
    Hey Joe, thanks for reaching out! The Adapter Kit # RM-034 should work just fine with the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C32KR on your 2006 Jeep TJ. Are you needing anything else to get your Jeep setup for flat towing? Wiring for lights or a braking system?
