This setup keeps your front end looking clean and factory when you’re not towing. The tabless design means there’s no crossbar or bulky brackets showing, and the tabs stay on your tow bar instead of sticking out from the bumper. Snap-in polyethylene covers keep dirt and debris out of the receivers, so the arms slide in and out easily every time you hook up.
Connecting the tow bar couldn’t be simpler. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and then secures with a pull pin for extra peace of mind. When it’s time to disconnect, just pull the pin, twist, and remove the arm. The receivers are set 34" apart and 15-1/2" high, making it easy to plan your tow bar height for a level setup.
The base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required, spreading towing forces evenly across the frame to minimize suspension stress. The durable steel build is designed for thousands of miles of reliable use, so you can hit long hauls with confidence knowing your setup is solid from end to end.
Already have a tow bar? You can most likely keep it. This kit works with all Demco Victory Series tow bars right out of the box and can adapt to Demco Kwik-Tow or other manufacturers’ tow bars using separately sold adapters. An included electrical bracket makes it simple to mount a round connector plug on the front for a clean wiring setup that’s ready to go.
No welding or special tools required—just bolt it up with the hardware and instructions that come in the box. The straightforward install makes this a great weekend project for anyone comfortable turning wrenches, and once it’s in place, you’ve got a dependable connection ready whenever it’s time to roll.

Ratings & Reviews
Nicely packaged
Works perfectly
Easy to use and install. However, after just one year the paint is cracked and flaking and the product is rusting
Easiest base plate I’ve ever put on.
Super Service and parts fit perfectly.
Very good quality.
easy to install on the truck frame and the removable arms help hide the base plate.
The reason I didn't give a 5 star is ecause I had problems with the rust on the inside were the receiver. I would think the holding round stock should be made out of stainless. I have to grease the pins before I insert them.
Very high quality.
Very quick delivery.
Very good customer service.
I will order from etrailer again, I'm sure
This is my second set of Demco tabless base plates. First for a 2019 Ford F-150 and now for a 2023 Ford F-150. I like the fact that they are easy to install and are are basically hidden. My only complaint is that Demco makes the mounting holes over size. I assume to aid in installation however it allows for the base plates to move around some after installation even when properly tightened. This caused some problems with the installation of my Roadmaster tow defender as the tow bar mounts spread apart.
Got these because the BlueOx were out of stock. Seemed to be much easier to install on my 2021 F150. Did require drilling one hole.
Great web site and great service. Very quick shipping.
Thank you
Great fit and heavy-duty product.
I gave this 5 stars based on design and durability.Installation, however, is somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. Installation can be a real challenge, and even the best back yard mechanic might be a tad frustrated. The biggest problem in installation is NOT installing but getting ready to install. Removal od the tow bar hooks took more time than installing the base plates. We're talking a 2018 F-150 XLT Sport 4X4 crew cab. The pics show the finished product and the location of the safety can\bles.
Lock tight both TUBES hard as a rock.
YOU Don't need lock tight at all as all threads in the nuts are lousy and no way to hand start anything. Had to run 4 or 5 bolts through each nut with an impact to free them up a bit. They should have piolet starter on each bolt and all threads should be clear enough for a hand start. This kit worked well as it does not require the bumper to be removed. BUT: LOUSEY BOLTS AND NUTS ADDED AT LEAST 30 MIN TO FIGHTING EVERY BOLT TO GET IT STARTED. 5 STARS FOR THE KIT. 1/2 STAR FOR THE BOLTS WITHOUT PIOLET AND NUTS THAT CAN NOT BE HAND STARTED.
