If you like a sturdy setup that doesn’t clutter up your front end, this base plate fits the bill. The fixed-arm design eliminates the need for an external crossbar, so only the base plate tabs are visible. Hidden reinforcement keeps the look streamlined while still providing solid attachment points for your tow bar. The kit includes tab covers that snap over each pull point when not towing, keeping dirt out of the sockets and protecting shins from bumps.
Durability matters when you’re logging thousands of miles behind an RV. This base plate is constructed of heavy-duty steel and bolts securely to the chassis, spreading towing force evenly to minimize stress on suspension components. It’s a sturdy, dependable setup built to handle long-distance towing without flexing or loosening over time.
Weekend installers will appreciate that this kit requires no welding. It bolts directly to the vehicle chassis using the included mounting hardware and clear instructions. The distance between brackets is 26" center to center, and bracket height is 24", so you can plan your hookup and accessories accordingly.
This base plate works with all Demco tow bars right out of the box. If you already have a tow bar from another brand, adapters are available to make it work—so you don’t have to start over with new equipment. The kit also includes an electrical bracket that lets you easily mount a round connector plug for a neat, ready-to-use wiring setup.

Ratings & Reviews
I purchased this with the intent of having my local RV repair shop install it for me. I was curious about how it was installed so I read the directions and thought, this doesn’t look that hard. I was right. The directions were clear and accurate and in a little over two hours I was closing the hood on a finished install. Quality all the way around and really fast shipping. Three days after placing my order it was delivered.
Perfect fit on a 2001 Chevy Tracker feels solid looks good
Fairly ez to install Have not towed it yet am waiting on towbar
So that I can try it out
These were a perfect fit for my 2026 Sierra 2500HD. The instructions are in desperate need of being updated. I was able to complete the installation without removing the grill and bumper. All that was required was the removal of the tow hook and enlarging the facia hole to accommodate the baseplate.
wrong part!!!
1998 Jeep Cherokee Lim ited
Poor paint quality. Paint was chipping off down to the metal even before I got them out of the box. Like everything else anymore, over priced and lacking quality.
Great service - ordered Sunday night, delivered Wednesday lunch time, installed Wednesday afternoon. Excellent information, instructions - took about 4 hours, had to file 2 bolt holes a slight bit, but the fit was very good.
I am very happy with the baseplate and would recommend it to anyone.
Before and after pictures attached.
This is the second time we've ordered these kits. They work very well for our needs, staff is very helpful and responsive, and shipping is fast.
Received on time and installed as directed. I'm 78 and only had one problem, that of having to bend down a tab on the vehicle frame. Had to go buy a punch. However, the left base plate front holes for the tow bar attaching pin was not in alignment. The pin would not go through. Contacted etrailer and received a replacement in no time. Removed the bad one and reinstalled the new one. Then took the vehicle to my hitch guy for brake wiring. He double checked my work and said everything was in great order and a good fit. With the virus lockdown, I have not towed other than home from getting the brakes set up. But that worked ok.
Just sold the Tracker that the base plate was installed on but it had several thousand miles of towing on it with no problems . Installation was not too difficult , and it hardly showed . Seems a bit expensive for what it is , but it is custom made so I get it . Very heavy duty steel with the bonus of it actually reinforces the front end of the Tracker .
They fit our 2007 Hummer H-3 perfectly. Very easy to install and appear to be well built. We have only used them for a test pull and they worked perfectly.
The kit was easy to install. Quality control could be better. I wasted time trying to get the frame mounts fitted, because they had them labelled backwards. Some of the nuts they supplied were the wrong thread. It has a real good thick paint job. But that tends to make things hard to put together. I had to sand down the Falcon adapters. I also had to modify the fog light spoiler, but that was a given as it is a rare option. All in all, it looks good and works fine.
excellent service
Have installed two sets on two different trucks. Have pulled both trucks long distance. Work great with no problems.
Easy to install. 2009 dodge 2500. Very solid.
Easy installation. Parts came before they were expected. Customer service is exceptional
Great service. Everything works
These base plates are AWESOME! They were very easy to install on my 2013 Ram 2500. I just removed the shackles that were there, and the base plates aligned to the existing holes perfectly. Connecting to the tow bar behind my RV was a simple and easy task. Make sure you use the Loc-tite that comes with the base plates on the new bolts. This will ensure you have a good strong tight bond. The plastic covers that come with the base plates are a good fit too. The only come off if you pull them off, plus they protect your knees if you happen to bump into the base plates by accident. This is an awesome product, I highly recommend.
We put it on are motorhome and are pickup and it was great. Thanks a lot
I really like the professionalism of your company. Product delivered on time and more complete than expected. Easy installation compared to the last two I installed. Kit even included Loctite and mounted. Plus daily shipping updates by email. Thanks for a great purchase experience.
They for right where the original tow hooks were. The only problem was the one bolt on each side was hard to get tight due to the location in the cutout of the pin attachment.
