If you like the look of your vehicle’s front end and want to keep it that way, this base plate system blends right in. The tabless design means there’s no crossbar or brackets sticking out, and the drawbar arms stay attached to your tow bar instead of the bumper. When you’re not towing, snap on the included high-density polyethylene covers to keep dirt and debris out of the receivers so everything slides in smoothly next time.
The hookup process is simple and fast thanks to the twist-lock system. Just slide the tabs into the receivers, twist to lock, and insert the pull pins for extra security. To disconnect, pull the pin, twist, and slide them back out. It’s a solid connection that doesn’t fight you when you line things up alone in your driveway or at camp. The distance between brackets is 28-1/4" and bracket height is 18-1/2", which makes it easy to plan your setup.
This base plate bolts directly to your chassis—no welding required—and distributes towing forces evenly across the frame. The sturdy steel build keeps stress off the suspension during long-distance towing. Owners who’ve run this setup for thousands of miles trust it to stay tight and secure on every trip.
If you already own a tow bar, there’s a good chance it’ll fit right up. This kit works directly with all Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars—no adapter needed. Using a Roadmaster tow bar? Just add the correct adapter (DM9523036, DM9523062, DM9523014, or DM9523023, sold separately) to make it work. An included electrical bracket lets you mount a round connector plug neatly on the front so your wiring stays organized and ready to go.
You don’t need special tools or a welder for this job—just basic hand tools and some patience with fascia removal. The kit includes instructions, hardware, and new rivets where needed, so everything bolts up securely without extra parts runs. It’s a straightforward project that rewards you with a clean, factory-looking finish once everything’s buttoned up.
