Features to know about

Made for a Clean Front End: Invisible Base Plate with Removable Arms

If you want your vehicle to keep its factory look when you’re not towing, this setup does the trick. The invisible design leaves no bulky crossbar or brackets in sight, and the tabs stay on your tow bar so there’s nothing sticking out from the bumper. Snap-in polyethylene covers keep dirt and debris out of the receivers, so the arms slide in and out smoothly each time you hook up.

Hook Up Fast and Secure: Twist-Lock Connection with Pull Pin

Connecting your tow bar is quick and reliable with the twist-lock design. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a pull pin for an extra layer of safety. When it’s time to disconnect, just remove the pin, twist, and pull the arm free. The setup makes solo hook-ups easy whether you’re in your driveway or out on the road.

Strong Where It Counts: Steel Construction That Spreads the Load

This base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. The sturdy, dependable design spreads towing forces evenly to help take stress off your suspension. It’s built from durable steel to hold up through long trips and repeated use mile after mile.

Keep Your Existing Tow Bar: Broad Compatibility and Adapter Options

Already have a tow bar you trust? You’re covered. This base plate works directly with Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars—no adapter needed. If you’re running a Roadmaster setup, use the right adapter (e98983, e98984, e98979, or e98981, sold separately) for an easy fit. An included electrical bracket makes it simple to mount a round connector plug so your wiring stays neat and ready.

DIY-Friendly Install: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware

Installing this kit is straightforward thanks to its bolt-on setup—no welding required. It comes with all necessary hardware plus an electrical bracket and clear instructions to guide you through the process. With bracket spacing at 31-3/8" and height at 15", you can plan your tow setup precisely for a clean, solid fit.

I've bought from e-trailer several times and I'm always happy with my purchase. The base plate and tow bar are of excellent quality and a good price. Installation was as not too bad; I watched the installation video for my truck even though it was for a different base plate. It gave me enough information to get the job done.

Glad we could help, David! Looks good on there! ^___^ What's the next trip you have planned?

by:
Came very well packaged, looked great very well made and heavy duty.
Instructions could have been better.
Template for air dam cutout just a rough starting point you will need to do more trimming for proper fit. Overall very happy looks great and very solid.

Looks great on your Jeep! Where are you headed to first, Franz?

by:
Easy to install and works like should. I put a aftermarket bumper on as well so it was simple with no issues to install I have pulled it over 6000 miles and a lot of one nighter stays. It is simple to hook up and no issues pulling.

That's great, I'm glad it's taken care of you! Any big trips coming up?

by:
This was my second time installing a base plate kit. I have to say, this etrailer base plate was so much easier to install compared to my other base plate that required drilling, which was not fun at all. I would highly recommend the etrailer baseplate kit. No drilling was required and everything lined up perfectly. The install videos provided are also great.

Still working perfectly. Towed the jeep about 2000 miles from WA State down to Disneyland and then to Las Vegas and back. Plus dozens of camping trips.

@Chris Wow, that sounds like so much fun Chris. What was your favorite memory from your trips this year?

2014 jeep Wrangler
So I ordered a hitch for my Jeep 2014 Wrangler I used the pulldown menu to select my model. The menu never said anything about four-door or two door therefore I ordered the wrong Hitch then when I called to get it fixed because it didn’t fit they made me pay the shipping back.

Very easy to install and I love the finished look. However I had to cut a couple of relief points in the rock guard in order to get the back two screws into place. Without these the rock guard would bind against these points on the base plate and not allow the rock guard to travel back far enough to reattached the screws. I have a 2025 Jeep Wrangler Sahara.
by:
Installation on a 2018 Jeep JL Unlimited Sahara went well, no surprises. Attaching the base plate to chassis safety cables required some ingenuity as the instructions were useless in this installation. Etrailer should post some actual installation photos vs. a poor generic diagram.
by:
Everything is great so far, still installing.
I do need the removable arms to fit a Falcon 2
Tow hitch
. Can send me the part number so l can order them.
Thanks, Bob

Wrong plate, didnt fit. Had to return and order a different plate, which I paid over $[XX] to overnight and didnt get it when it was suppose to be delivered. Not even an apology offered, not even a discount offered, nothing other than holding my money hostage until you got the return item..
by:
If you follow the easy to read and understand instructions, it’s a breeze to install. Beautiful!!! Highly recommend rhese baseplates
by:
Fit good no complaints just a little pricey
by:
2025 Ford Mavrick AWD Hybrid. I have installed 2 base plate kits on Honda CRVs.
Piece of cake. Remove front cowling..install base plate..done. Not so on my 2 day old Mavrick. 1 add a spacer to move kit away from shutters...adding washers is super poor planning on manufacturing's part..2 you don't have to go up & over in the middle now 70% of the condenser air flow is blocked by welded steel..could have been much better. 3 provide a mounting ring or hook...wrapping a safety cable around sheet metal components is silly Engineering.
by:
The baseplate fit great, fairly simple and install. The instructions from the front valance cutting were off a bit. I had to take it on and off a couple of times and trim to get it to fit. Overall the quality is great.
by:
2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Nice setup. Instructions were little off for my application (2026 with shutters) Shutters had to be removed to install correctly. Instructions did not cover this. Everything fit as it should. Final product very satisfied.

Hi Shawn, the etrailer Invisible Base Plates part # e66GV are not a fit for the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is why the shutters had to be removed, and the instructions didn't cover it. These base plates fit the previous 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee model, but due to changes in the fascia and bumper they're not a fit for the 2026 model due to those modifications. However, the actual frame of the 2026 Grand Cherokee is still the same as the 2025 model, so the base plates are safe to tow with.

by:
I have installed three base plates on my vehicles. All have been purchased from trailer. They have all been rather easy to install just a matter of taking the time it takes. On this last one mounted on my 2024 Ford Maverick I recommend adding to the instructions an easier way to unplug the light plug from the front facia. I think it is much easier if one turns the wheel full left and unplug the socket before pulling the facia. Easier than current instructions that say be careful when pulling the facia since the plug needs to be undone. I was able to do the whole thing by myself this way and not needed someone else to hold the facia while disconnecting the plug.
by:
Good product, fast shipping, great communication.
by:
Easy installation if you watch the videos on the etrailer website.
I like the fact that this base plate is hidden behind the air dam below the bumper.
by:
Heavy duty bracket. The included bracket for the electrical is also heavy duty.
Mounted on a 2025 Bronco with modular bumper. I did have to do a little additional cutting on the bumper to make it fit.
by:
2022 Jeep Wrangler
Install of the baseplate itself was not difficult and went smooth. The templates to cut out the holes in my plastic shroud were not accurate. It took some additional trimming to get right and I found that a bit frustrating.
by:
They were easy to install and came with good instructions and pictures. This is the second vehicle I have installed this product on and etrailer is my go to.
by:
Great fit, great instructions.
