When you’re not towing, this setup keeps the front end looking tidy. The etrailer Classic Base Plate Kit has hidden reinforcement and no external crossbar, so only the small base plate tabs are visible. Nothing bulky sticks out past the bumper, giving it a clean, low-profile appearance that blends right in.
This base plate kit is made from durable steel and bolts directly to the chassis—no welding required. Its sturdy design spreads towing force evenly to minimize weight placed on the suspension. It’s built to stay solid and dependable through miles of travel, giving confidence every time you tow.
If you like tackling projects yourself, this kit is a straightforward weekend job. It comes with all necessary hardware and clear instructions for a simple bolt-on installation. Once bolted up, the base plates mount securely to the vehicle’s frame, ready for your tow bar connection.
Pairing this base plate with your existing tow gear is simple. It’s compatible with all etrailer tow bars and Demco Victory Series tow bars. Adapters (sold separately) make it adaptable for other manufacturers’ setups if needed, so you can keep using your current tow bar without replacing your whole system.
A dedicated mounting point makes wiring easier. The included bracket lets you neatly secure a round electrical connector plug up front, keeping cables in place and your towing lights ready to hook up for every trip.

Good Quality product
Fit up prefect no modification nessary.
Fairly straightforward installation, was able to do it by myself.
Product was super easy to install and great support from the team at e-trailer. Thanks guys!
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.
The product is fine, but the box was flimsy and damaged.
Very good and easy to work with
Well built. Fit good. Fairly easy to in stall.
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.
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.
