If you like a setup that doesn’t clutter your front bumper, this one keeps things tidy. The direct-connect brackets sit farther back than standard mounts so nothing bulky sticks out. Once the removable arms are off, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible and protected from scrapes inside the grille. No need for a crossbar either—the tow bar slides straight into the hitch for a clean, simple look.
Hooking up doesn’t have to be a wrestling match. Each drawbar slides into its bracket, twists to lock, and clicks in place so you know it’s secure. When it’s time to unhook, just pull the built-in release ring, twist the arm back, and slide it out. The twist-lock setup makes it fast and easy to connect or remove even if you’re working solo.
This base plate is built from computer-cut steel with precise welds for solid alignment and dependable strength. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion through rain, dust, and road grime. Bolting directly to the vehicle frame spreads towing loads evenly without welding—so you can trust it for long hauls without worrying about fatigue or flex.
If you’re handy and have basic tools, this is a project you can handle in your own garage. One reviewer knocked it out in a few hours, drilling just four holes before bolting everything up. The fit is spot-on, alignment is straightforward, and the included instructions walk you through each step for a clean install that feels solid once you’re done.

I’ve pulled the Chevy behind our motor home several times over a the last year. It has worked excellent. And when not in tow the tubing is barely noticeable.

Wow great job Crystal! It looks great! Also, I couldn’t help but notice “Ski Express” on the car, that’s pretty cool. What kind of work do you do?
