Simple, Invisible Design

Setting up these invisible base plates for use with your etrailer tow bar is fast and easy. Just remove the attachment lugs from the ends of your tow bar arms and replace them with these tabs. Then you can just insert the tow bar arms into the base plate receivers to hook up. There's no need to remove the tabs from your tow bar, so you won't run the risk of misplacing tabs. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle , your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.


Easy Hookup and Disconnect

Demco Base Plate Tabless Hookup

Using the etrailer invisible base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.


Receiver Covers

etrailer Tabless Base Plate Ear Pull Cover

Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. etrailer offers adapters for use with other tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.


Demco Tabless Base Plate Adapters

Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain, Sterling All-Terrain, Blackhawk 2 All-Terrain, and Falcon All-Terrain e98983
Roadmaster Falcon 2 or Tracker e99037

  • Parts Needed For Flat Towing a 2017 Ford Focus Without Adaptive Cruise Control
    Honestly, by the time you factor parts cost and labor for installation, you may be able to find a suitable trailer for your car for less. Otherwise, flat towing your 2017 Ford Focus behind a motorhome is a costly scenario and you may be able to get your parts a little more economically, but it isn't going to be by much. Your vehicle also doesn't need the Nighthawk, which will help with savings. I saw you were looking at the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-524443-5 so I am...

  • 2018 Ford Focus Tow Bar and Base Plate Recommendations for Flat Towing
    I recommend using the etrailer base plate kit and matching tow bar for your 2018 Ford Focus: - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98960 - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR I really like our system because it not only looks sleek, but it's easy to use and the bars are easy to maneuver and adjust, even on uneven surfaces as you can see in the linked video.

  • Does the etrailer Base Plate # e98960 Fit a Titanium Model of 2015 Ford Focus Sedans?
    Yes! I am happy to confirm that the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # e98960 will fit Titanium models of 2015 Ford Focus Sedans. If you need a tow bar to complete your setup and is compatible with the etrailer base plate, I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch # RM-522. With the Falcon, you simply slide in the shank into your trailer's hitch without the need of a ball and ball mount. It also comes with extra-long...

  • Base Plate and Tow Bar Recommendations for a 2018 Ford Focus Hatchback
    I really like the following etrailer kit for your 2018 Ford Focus Hatchback: - etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98960 - etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR This system has removeable tabs for a clean look when you aren't towing, and then the tow bar is rated for 6K, comes with same-rated safety cables, and has adjustments in the head to minimize the need for a high-low adapter. I'm attaching a review video of the tow bar for you to check out!

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for a 2018 Ford Focus
    I recommend going with the etrailer base plate kit and tow bar system for your 2018 Ford Focus. For the base plate kit you need part # e98960 and then for the tow bar you need the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR which also comes with safety cables. I really like this combo because the base plate kit has the removable tabs for a great look when you aren't towing, and the tow bar has adjustability in the head to essentially eliminate the need for a high-low adapter. To complete your...
