Tab Covers

Demco Pull Ear Cover

When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

  • Recommended Equipment to Flat Tow a 2017 Ram 3500 with a Motorhome with Air Brakes
    Thank you for all of the information! To flat tow your 2017 Ram 3500 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. Since your motorhome has air brakes I recommend using the SMI Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # SM99243 because it installs permanently on your 2017 Ram 3500 and is easy to set up after the initial installation. Aside from it being the best option for air brakes it also...

  • Can 2015 Ram 3500 Be Flat-Towed Behind Motorhome
    From my research I found the 2015 Ram 3500 would weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of 7,000 lbs, depending on the features, so your Ram should have no problem being towed behind your motorhome. The # DM9518134 is designed for the 2500 and 3500 Ram pickup, and they will work well with the Excali-Bar tow bar you said you already have. It sounds like you are familiar with flat-towing but if not there are 5 items needed when you want to tow a vehicle. You will need the tow bar and base...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2009 Dodge Ram 2500
    When base plate kits are manufactured for a vehicle they don't give a specific weight rating for it but they do make them strong enough to tow the weight of the vehicle being flat towed. The part # DM9518134 is rated for the weight of your 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 and will work well. The compatible tow bar I recommend is the Excali-Bar # DM9511013. Everything you need to connect the truck to the motorhome is included between the base plates and the tow bar. Even the safety cables. For lighting...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2018 Ram 3500 With 4-Wheel Drive
    There are no restrictions that we are aware of (though it is always recommended to check with the dealer), and this transmission has been used in Ram vehicles for many years. The owner's manual simply states that 4-wheel drive models of 2018 Ram 3500 can be flat towed, both automatic and manual transmissions. As long as you follow the steps required in the owner's manual you will be able to flat tow your 2018 Ram 3500 4x4. In order to do so, here are the parts you will need: - Base Plate...

  • Dimensions of the Bolt Holes for the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134
    The distance between the mounting holes for the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134 are 2.24" vertically and 5.01" horizontally. The base of the plates themselves measure 4" vertically and 8" horizontally. I confirmed all this with my contact at Demco and I attached a picture for demonstration purposes. 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...

  • Will Base Plate Kit From 2018 Ram 1500 Fit 2018 Ram 3500
    There are enough differences between the 2018 Ram 1500 and 3500 models that the same base plate kit will not fit both trucks. You will need a new base plate kit that is custom designed for your Ram 3500. The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134 that you were looking at is confirmed to fit the 3500 and will bolt permanently to the chassis. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also check out.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Ram 3500 with a Bus
    Since you have such a heavy pickup I recommend using the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134 with the Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 which is rated for up to 10,500 lbs. I spoke with my contact at Demco who said that the Classic base plate kit should fit just fine as long as the commercial and snow build doesn't affect the tow hooks on your 2018 Ram 3500. Then for wiring I recommend the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 because it stays permanently installed on...

  • Flat Towing Equipment for 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Pickup
    The Demco Dominator, # DM9511008, has a capacity of 8,000 pounds which is plenty for the 4500-5500 lb weight of a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500. For a base plate, use # DM9518134. You'd also need a lighting solution so the lights on the truck operate in tandem with those of the tow vehicle. A magnetic mount lamp like # RM-2120 would be an easy lighting solution that wouldn't require any cutting or splicing into existing wiring. A supplemental braking system will also be needed. The Delta Force,...

  • Will Demco Base Plates Fit 2018 Ram 3500 With Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch
    I took a look at the directions of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 65063 and the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134 that fit your 2018 Ram 3500, and from everything I could see, the base plates and hitch will interfere with each other. The installation of the base plates will only work on a truck without a front mount hitch. So you would need to remove the front hitch on your 2018 Ram 3500 in order to install the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518134.
