If you want a setup that keeps your front end looking clean and simple, this base plate kit does exactly that. It doesn’t use an external crossbar, so only the base plate tabs are visible when you’re not towing. Hidden reinforcement helps the hardware blend in, keeping things neat and out of the way while still offering the solid attachment points you need.
This kit is built from durable steel and bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. The sturdy, dependable design spreads towing force evenly to help reduce weight on the suspension. It’s built to handle long-distance towing with confidence mile after mile.
Already have a tow bar you like? This base plate is compatible with all etrailer and Demco Victory Series tow bars right out of the box. It can also work with other brands using adapters sold separately—adapter part numbers e98979 through e98984 cover everything from Roadmaster to Blue Ox setups. That means you can reuse your existing gear instead of starting over.
You can bolt this kit on without any welding or special tools. It includes all necessary hardware along with clear instructions for a straightforward install. An electrical bracket is built in so you can mount a round connector plug cleanly up front. Once everything’s bolted down and aligned, you’ve got a secure connection that’s flat-tow ready.
Knowing your clearances helps make setup smoother. The brackets sit 31" apart with a bracket height of 18-1/2", giving you reliable reference points when selecting or adjusting your tow bar and wiring components. Everything lines up evenly for a balanced tow every time.

Excellent service came exactly when they said it was
Had a bit of of issue with getting the front valance to fit back on car. The tow bar should have been a 1/2 to 3/4” lower to fit in the air vent opening, I may have to cut the valance itself to get it back down to where it will fit correctly, I am still playing with it
During installation we experienced some issues with part alignment between the base plate and bumper assembly causing the facia the to need trim back the facia all the way to the painted section. The hood and facia fit is tight.
love it! It's an excellent fit for our 2003 Jeep!
Great bar for the money. Instructions were fairly easy to follow but at time they did not make sense logically. In the final step lining up the grill was confusing I had to improvise to make it work.
My order arrived in a few days, was exactly what I ordered. Installed base plates with no problems. very satisfied with results.
These are quality parts that fit and function perfectly.
I installed myself! The direction we easy to follow and the unit fit my 2017 jeep unlimited perfectly. I have over 4000 tow miles since the install with no issues.
Got what I needed it works perfectly and it came fast just as I ordered it
High quality and excellent price!

Good Quality product
Fit up prefect no modification nessary.
Fairly straightforward installation, was able to do it by myself.
The finished product is great! The reason for the three-star rating is because the mounting holes didn't line up with the holes on the frame of the 2004 Jeep Liberty. The host came out a quarter inch off. After drilling the third hole according to the instructions I put all three bolts in the nut plate and made sure that all three bolts will fit in the holes easily. I then got one bolt started on one side and then found out it was completely off by quarter inch on the other side. With 0 wiggle room I put all three bolts in loosely on one side and manage to use vise grips to clamp up the other side so I can drill out the holes. I was then able to get the bolts in on the other side. Aside from the fasteners for the bumper cover being different and more difficult from the directions and not being able to disconnect the wiring harness I figure it could have been worse. At least in the end nobody will know the difference. See photos. It sure was a blessing to be able to get it so quick.
I’m happy with them can’t wait to get back on the road
Pretty easy to install on my 2015 Silve rado,
Excellent product
Excellent service
On the Tahoe 2011 you need to cut off the end of the bolt that is coming down from above in the frame horn so bar will fit, also the cut out pattern isn't the same. as illustrated. and your included blue lock tite is dried up
Product was super easy to install and great support from the team at e-trailer. Thanks guys!
