Features to know about

Made for a Clean Front End: Tabless Base Plate with Hidden Design

If you like your vehicle to look stock when not towing, this setup keeps it that way. The tabless design means no bulky crossbar or brackets are left showing, and the tabs stay attached to the tow bar instead of the vehicle. When you’re unhooked, snap on the included high-density polyethylene covers to keep dirt and debris out of the receivers so everything slides in smoothly the next time you connect.

Demco tabless base plate receiver covers installed on pull points to prevent dirt and debris entry when tow bar is not connected.

Hook Up Fast and Secure: Twist-Lock Arms with Pull Pins

Connecting your tow bar takes only a few quick moves. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures with the included pull pin for extra confidence on the road. When you’re done towing, just pull the pin, twist, and remove the arm. It’s a simple process that works whether you’re setting up solo or getting ready to roll at camp.

Built Strong for Long Miles: Durable Steel Construction

This base plate bolts securely to your chassis with no welding required. The sturdy steel build spreads towing forces evenly to reduce stress on suspension components during long trips. It’s designed for dependable performance and keeps your setup solid mile after mile.

Keep Using Your Current Tow Bar: Wide Compatibility and Adapter Support

Already have a tow bar you like? This kit works with all Demco Victory Series tow bars and adapts easily to Demco Kwik-Tow or other manufacturers’ models using optional adapters (sold separately). It even includes an electrical bracket so you can mount a round connector neatly up front for tidy wiring management.

DIY-Friendly Install: Straightforward Bolt-On Setup

Perfect for anyone who likes weekend projects, this kit installs with common tools and includes clear instructions plus all required hardware. The bolt-on design makes it approachable for do-it-yourselfers who want a clean, professional-looking result without welding. The brackets sit 23-11/16" apart (center to center) with a bracket height of 16-1/2", making it easy to plan the rest of your towing setup around those specs.

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.

Just installed the Demco Tabless Base Plate and included 6 pin wire bracket. It was very straightforward and anyone who is a little mechanically inclined, can do it with ease. The etrailer video was incredibly helpful. I followed it step by step and had no issues. I love that it is a direct bolt-to-frame base plate and does not need any modifications. I spent a bit more time cutting out the gravel guard to form-fit the tabless connectors. The adapters are sleek and blend right in to the front end. Love how it turned out.

@LazerS, We went to Solomons Island MD for a shakedown trip.
by:
The base plate kit was fairly easy to install; however, I did need to space out the main base plates with washers of about a good 1/8th inch to clear the lower radiator. I also fabricated an L shaped shelf and u-bolts to attach to front of main cross member to mount 6 pin connector and break-away switch. All appears to be good and solid. Have not attached to RV yet as I am still working on wiring.
by:
I would give the tow bar a minus numberif possible. I bought it in hopes of not cutting up the shutter housing on my 2025 Maverick Hybrid. Well the bolt holes did not line up. I spoke with the Demco Engineers about the issue and they said that I must have a bent frame. My vehicle was two weeks old from the manufacturing date and all the rest of the pieces in the front assembly fit perfectly from Ford. I lad less then 200 miles on the unit. I made some cuts in the bar to allow more movement with the approval of Demco and still I could not get the front facia on. I called installers and they said they just cut away whatever is needed to get a tow bar on. None that I talked to at 3 places had as yet done this model installation. E trailer accepted my return and I put a roadmaster bar on.
by:
I use only Demco baseplates as they are the only brand that mount with no cutting or drilling. The Excalibar tow bar is very well made and handles my Jeep Gladiator with ease. It's also very simple and easy to hook and unhook. The excellent "how to" videos from etrailer sure helped me make the correct purchase decision.

The Demco base plate for our 2025 Jeep Gladiator is still the best choice out there. It required no drilling or cutting and is easily swapped out as we lease our Jeep and need to put it on the next Jeep every year. Also very easy to hook up and very robust construction.

by:
Bottom bolts seem kind of a weak install in my opinion, I was able to put my facia back on with not cutting so that was good.

Just as long as you torqued them down to spec, you will be just find Pete. Where did you go for the first trip?

by:
Straight forward install. I have towed the Maverick about 7000 miles with no issues. The pins are a wee bight tight when mating to my Blue Ox tow bar. But that is loosening with time. A nice improvement would be a heavy duty mount for the umbilical plug

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?

This does not fit my 2025 ranger. I attached are a few images of the mounting location for the 9519343 base plate on my 2025 Ford Ranger with the Lariat trim and the 2.7l v6 motor. The aluminum colored piece interferes with the horizontal bar connecting the actual base plates. The base plate mounting holes are 31.5" apart, whereas the receiving nuts on the truck frame are 30.5" apart. I am returning this and have ordered a Blue Ox base plate.

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.

Order was shipped and received timely. Both products purchased look to be well made. Haven’t installed yet currently using a demco set up on a 2001 Cherokee sport. Up graded to a 2020 wrangler needing a new base plate and lighting. Eager to install on the new buggy!
by:
ford Ranger
Very easy to install except for one item. The core support bolt holes need to be moved out about 1/4 inch. Had to trim the hole on the plastic shutter surround. Otherwise great fit on 2026 Ford Ranger. I’ve done many of these and this was the easiest. Price is definitely too much. Haven’t towed with it yet but looking forward to it.
by:
2024 Ford Bronco
This was NOT the easiest install. Lots of grinding and cutting of stock parts. Then the effort required to align all the holes after said grinding and cutting took considerable effort. eTrailer needs to do specific video on this product so buyers know what to expect. I can say this product is worth the effort but boy oh boy know what you’re getting into.
by:
Product seems very well designed and manufactured. Minor reaming of a couple of the holes was needed to align with truck frame. We used it with a Blueox tow bar so towing was flawless. I highly recommend this base plate.

Quality product with fast free shipping. Although it arrived with damage to the box from the baseplate moving around during shipping, there was no damage to the baseplate itself. Installed relatively easily according to the instructions.
by:
The quality and fit up was great, the only comment is the safety cables are too short and not able to use them. If you are looking at this product i would recommend it, just keep in mind you have to buy cables
by:
The face plate fit very well on my 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Overland. Even though on the Etrailer website, it says it will not fit, but it definitely does. The instructions are a little vague about which way to turn the center crossbar. In my case, I had to turn it upside down from how it shows in the parts layout on the front page of the instructions. Also the photo below showing the installation without the bumper cover on, has it the wrong way for my vehicle. I turned it over after I took that photo. I opted not to cut up the lower honeycomb grill and just leave it off, which allowed me to install the 6-pin connector and the breakaway switch very neatly with the supplied bracket. And if I ever remove the face plate, I can put back the original honeycomb grill and the vehicle will be 100% back to as purchased. I did not have to drill any holes whatsoever for the installation.

This is the third Demco baseplate I've purchased for three different tow vehicles, all were exceptional quality with very clear instructions as you can see in the photo it was a very involved install. Thanks for a very good product at a great price.
