If you like your vehicle to look uncluttered when it’s not being towed, this base plate setup keeps things tidy. The invisible design has no obtrusive crossbar or brackets sticking out, and the tabs stay on your tow bar arms so the bumper stays clean. High-density polyethylene covers snap into place over the receivers to block out dirt and debris, keeping the sockets clear so the arms slide in and out smoothly every time you hook up.
Hooking up is simple. Each arm slides into the base plate receiver, twists to lock, and secures with an included safety pin. When you’re done towing, pull the pin, twist, and remove the arms just as easily. It’s a straightforward connection system that makes aligning and securing your setup a fast one-person job. The bracket spacing is 34" apart with a height of 15-1/2", giving you a solid reference for planning your tow bar position.
The dependable steel build spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help reduce stress on suspension components. It bolts directly to the frame—no welding needed—and comes with all necessary hardware for a secure fit. Users mention that following the clear instructions makes installation go smoothly and that once installed, the setup stays strong and steady even through long towing miles.
Already running a tow bar you like? This base plate works directly with all Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars—no adapter required. If you use a Roadmaster tow bar, simply add the right adapter (e98983, e98984, e98979, or e98981, sold separately). An integrated electrical bracket lets you mount a round connector plug neatly at the front for an organized wiring setup that’s ready whenever you are.
Designed for straightforward installation, this kit bolts securely to your vehicle’s chassis using existing attachment points. There’s no welding involved, and everything needed—including hardware and step-by-step instructions—is in the box. Reviewers say that with basic tools and some patience, even first-timers found it “a breeze to install.” It’s a rewarding weekend project that leaves you with a clean-looking, reliable towing connection.
