If you want a towing setup that keeps your vehicle looking stock when it’s not hooked up, this one fits the bill. The main body stays concealed for a clean, OE-style appearance, and the removable arms come off when you’re done towing so there’s nothing in sight. With a completely hidden design and twist-lock tabs, the front end stays tidy and ready for everyday driving.
Getting connected shouldn’t be a hassle. The twist-lock attachment lets each arm slide in, turn to secure, and lock in place with a pin—making connection quick and reliable even if you’re setting up alone. The distance between brackets is 31-1/4" and bracket height is 21", so you can easily plan your tow bar alignment.
Built from welded steel and physically tested to the vehicle’s gross weight rating (GVWR), this kit spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help take pressure off the suspension. The sturdy design bolts directly to the frame—no welding required—and stays solid through long hauls. A high-gloss black powder coat with a co-cured rust-resistant Bonderite layer adds lasting protection against road wear.
No need to replace gear you already trust. This base plate works with both Curt and Blue Ox tow bars, giving you flexibility to use what you have or upgrade later. Each kit includes base plates, safety cables, and installation hardware so you have what you need to make a secure connection before hitting the road.
For those who like to handle their own installs, this kit is designed for straightforward bolt-on mounting using basic tools. There’s no welding required—just align it to factory points and torque it down with the included hardware for a dependable fit that’s ready for miles of towing confidence.

Installed the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit (#C64ER) onto my 2019 Ford Ranger XLT FX4. Could not have been easier. Directions were excellent! Time required was about 2 hours. Great product!
Great tech advice finding the right product, easy purchase and prompt delivery!! Thanks Etrailer!!
Custom fit, everything went together smoothly. I'm ready to haul my Ford ranger behind my motor home.
This base plate kit worked very well with the Blue Ox Acclaim non-binding tow bar - coupler for 2" ball (code BX4330). We towed a 4 door Rubicon over 2000 miles and the setup worked great. The bar is very easy to couple and uncouple. The removable arms work exactly as advertised. I did have to cut two small slots in my custom bumper to install the base plate, but the slots are not in strength critical areas. The installation instruction are clear and good.
Easy to install with typical tools found in about anyone's garage. Took maybe an hour or so to do. We have pulled our Ranger about 2000 miles behind our RV without any issue.
No issues, easy installation. Great tech support.
Wasn't to hard to install with a helper to get bumper off my truck. Had bumper pulled and installed baseplates in about hour and a half.
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.
Etrailer is with out a doubt the best supplier in the market today. they are on time every time and there support is excellent.
Great Base plate kit! Very easy to follow instructions even with my aftermarket bumper with winch. It fit perfect. The only issue I have is where the safety cables attach to the base plate….the cable connectors are too big to fit through the holes because the Jeep’s frame blocks part of the hole. See photo with red circle. I will have to get a smaller connector.
It preforms as designed. I tow a jeep gladiator with a 32’ class C RV
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.
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
Great speedy service
Can’t remember the girls name that took my order but she was very helpful. She gets 10 stars.
fit and function are perfect. GMC made installation a pain due to installing the bolts on inboard of frame had to cut bolts off with hacksaw to get the factory tow hooks out
Great Deal
