If you like your vehicle to keep a clean, factory look when you’re not towing, this base plate kit does exactly that. The tabless design hides everything behind the bumper so there’s no crossbar or brackets sticking out. The tabs stay on your tow bar instead of the vehicle, keeping the front end uncluttered. Snap-in polyethylene covers seal up the receivers when you’re not hooked up, keeping out dirt and debris so the arms slide in and out smoothly every time.
Getting ready to tow doesn’t need to be a hassle. The removable arms insert into the receivers, twist to lock, and secure with a pull pin—simple as that. When it’s time to disconnect, just pull the pin, twist again, and remove the arm. It’s quick and repeatable, even if you’re setting up alone. For setup reference, the distance between brackets is 19-1/2" and bracket height is 18".
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. Its sturdy, dependable steel construction spreads towing forces evenly across the frame to help reduce stress on the suspension. The kit includes all necessary hardware for a solid bolt-on fit that gives you confidence for long hauls.
Already have a tow bar you like? You can keep it. This base plate works directly with Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars—no adapter needed. Roadmaster users can add one of several adapters (DM9523036, DM9523062, DM9523014, or DM9523023) to make it fit their specific tow bar model. An included electrical bracket lets you mount a round connector plug neatly on the front end for your wiring hookup.
You don’t need a shop to get this done. The kit is designed for simple bolt-on installation using basic tools—no welding required. Clear instructions walk you through each step so you can handle the job yourself over a weekend. An electrical bracket is included for easy wiring plug mounting once everything’s bolted up and ready to tow.

One year later and all is well with the baseplate. Towed about 10k and driven about 10k on its own and no noticeable issues.

Hey Richard, great feedback on the heavy duty mount I can send that along to Demco. Sounds like you have been to some awesome places between all those miles. Is there a place you would consider a must go to that you have traveled to?
