If you care about keeping your vehicle’s front end uncluttered, this setup makes it possible. Once the drawbars are removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible, sitting farther back than standard mounts and tucked within the grille for protection from scrapes. There’s no quick-disconnect crossbar to get in the way, so the finished look stays clean and low-profile.
Hooking up doesn’t need to feel like work. Each drawbar slides into the bracket, twists to lock, and clicks securely into place. Built-in pull rings make removal just as easy—tug the ring to release, twist back, and pull out. It’s quick, solid, and repeatable whether you’re connecting solo or on the go.
This kit bolts directly to the frame for a solid connection that spreads towing forces evenly. The computer-cut, all-steel construction delivers exceptional strength for long hauls, while the black powder coat finish resists corrosion from road grime and weather. It’s built to stay tight and dependable trip after trip.
The direct-connect brackets eliminate the need for a crossbar, keeping things straightforward when you’re linking your motor-home-mounted tow bar. The streamlined design makes alignment easier, reduces extra parts in the connection path, and saves space up front—making every hookup faster and cleaner.
You don’t need a fabrication shop to install it. The brackets mount directly to the vehicle frame using included hardware, and no welding is required. The simple bolt-on process means confident setup at home or at your local shop with clear instructions guiding each step.
Ratings & Reviews
It was shipped promply. I installed it myself using the included step by step instructions and videos from etrailer. It all went well (though I had to come back and reconnect the sensor plug- my bad).
I tow a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk and this base plate is nearly invisible when not towing. Works well.
I bought and installed this tow plate one year ago on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. I bought this particular plate due to the jeep having a Barricade off-road bumper. This plate attaches a bit lower than other plates and prevented having to modify the bumper. Installation was easy involving only hand tools. The plate comes with all needed bolts and attachments. I have towed this Jeep several thousand miles behind my RV with absolutely no issues. As an aside, I use a Roadmaster Night Hawk tow bar which is also an excellent product. Both are expensive, but I believe cheaping-out on safety is no a good idea. I highly recommend this product.
This works perfect with my Roadmaster tow bar. It was a little difficult to install since I had to remove the front end of the Trailblazer, but with the good directions that came with it and some you tube videos made the installation easier.
Had these installed at Lester’s Automotive in Boerne,Texas…First class service all the way. Paul and his crew worked through lunch for over 4 hours to install these on our 2026 Ford Ranger. Also ran the wire and hooked up my auxiliary tow lights. The price for this was very reasonable and would highly recommend them for all r.v. needs even if not real close to the Boerne area. R.V park within reasonable distance if needed.
Etrailer comes through again! This was a great savings as a used kit, but it was even better than the description online. I have installed (4) baseplates on and etrailer.com has given me great videos to watch and good instructions to follow. Couldn't be more pleased with the quality, service and delivery times.
Product works well and as intended.
Works great, easy to hook up and unhook
Received quickly and all is in order. Thanks etrailer!
Works perfect took me much longer to install but I am 82 years old and work slow! Parts and directions were excellent
Grate service, fast shipping and super nice people tnx to
The product was a snap to put on the car, instructions were well prepared and all the hardware fit just like the instructions said it would, it was a pleasure to put this tow plat on the vehicle, thank you for making it so easy. Tommy
The baseplate fit perfect,no drilling holes, no cutting holes out of the grill. It went on ez for a 67 yr old . Just wait tell you have all the nuts and boilts in before you tighten them down. It helps the fit.
Fit perfect no drilling at all .Easy to follow installation instructions on line
The base plate works fine but I’m still having issues with the electrical components. For some reason the battery still discharges when towing the vehicle. Hopefully I can get this figured out soon.
Good instructions, not difficult to ins tall
Easy install. 2 hr install. Check
Out you tube on the installation
