This setup keeps things simple and tidy. The fixed draw bars bolt right to the frame with no external crossbar support beam or large brackets sticking out. Hidden reinforcement means less of the bracket shows, and only the small base plate tabs remain visible. When you’re not towing, snap the included high-density polyethylene tab covers in place to keep dirt out and avoid shin bumps around the front end.
The sturdy, dependable design is built from durable steel and bolts securely to your vehicle’s chassis. It spreads towing force evenly to help minimize weight placed on the suspension and maintain a stable ride while towing. This setup is made for long-distance reliability and keeps everything solid mile after mile without welding or fabrication.
If you’re handy, this kit is a straightforward bolt-on project. No welding required—just line up to factory mounting points using the supplied hardware. The included electrical bracket makes it easy to mount a round electrical connector plug for your tow wiring, so you can finish clean without extra brackets or drilling.
Already have a tow bar? This base plate works with all Demco tow bars right out of the box and can adapt to other manufacturers’ models using the right Demco adapter (sold separately). The distance between brackets is 29-1/2" center to center, and bracket height is 21-7/8", so you can match it precisely with your existing gear for a dependable fit.

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.
just what I wanted, will add photo later
Excelent
Simple! Arrived on time.
Have uses these to tow our Hummer H3 for about three thousand miles and both of them have spread apart while driving.

Yes.. Demco identified the problem as being with the Ready Brute clevises bring too short... However instead of kicking the can down the road... They stepped up and are taking care of the problem by sending me new clevises that are correctly designed to take care of the problem. I feel they definitely went above and beyond to remedy the problem... Instead of passing the buck...

Perfect I’ve towed my Hummer behind a 35 foot motorhome four times from California to New York. No problems.
I love the product. It’s easy to use and simple to
Brackets great , covers could be better
This is the easiest setup I've ever seen. For reference, I had a Smart car I was towing behind a class C prior to this. That was and experience! You literally have to remove the front end of the car to install it. When we bought a class A we switched to a Hummer H3 because of its towability. Four bolts! Thats it! Four bolts! You remove the stock tow hooks and bolt these in their place. I used loctite on the bolts, but other than that, it was just that simple!
Received my H3 Hummer baseplates and towing lights diode kit. Haven't installed yet but when it's done I hope to submit pics.
Dealing with etrailer has always been nothing short of outstanding. Always rapid delivery of great parts and excellent prices. Thanks once again etrailer.
Product is very good and is a great solution for towing a Hummer H3 because of the simple installation, no fascia removal nor cutting, etc. Just remove the existing tow rings and bolt on the base plates. The only slight downside is that they surface rust just slightly in a few areas. Nonetheless, they function as advertised and as desired.

These continue to be a practical and inexpensive solution for towing a Hummer H3 a year later. They have surface rusted quite a bit more and the paint has flaked off quite a bit, so they are not very attractive, but they still serve the primary purpose of towing the H3 very well.
The base plates fit nicely but the covers are a poor fit. It would make sense to me that the covers covered the whole base plate.
Thanks, Randy
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.

I saw that you had contacted our customer service team about the base plate spreading while driving. I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail what you meant and if Demco has been able to assist you.
