Review from a similar Standard in Base Plates
My 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback baseplate has worked great, no "0" issues. I've towed my car over 4,000 miles and the baseplate is as tight as the day I put it on. Great product......

My third Blue Ox Base Plate. Fit and function are perfect. Fits my existing (first) tow bar and the tab height is nearly exactly the same as my 12 year older Jeep so didn't even need to make any draw bar changes.

Still attached and working perfectly. Continues to survive some rather intense back country trails with no complaints.

received the plate installed it in less than three hours, have yet to hook it up though. Great , fast shipping!
The only issue were the cheap plastic push pins on the shield of the Jeep.

George, just finished install of blue ox base plate on my 2015 Buick enclave not for the faint of hand to install but all is well if u are good take your time some caution when drilling lower frame holes as inner holes are close but excellent fit and finish thanks for a great product

Blue ox base plate is still great just a note for users you may need to lube the inside of the holes where the aluminum adapters for the tow bar connection is as one time I could not turn it to lock in for towing this solved the problem
Product arrive promptly. I installed it today. Followed the install video exactly. Worked out excellent. All the parts fit well and are very sturdy. Took about three hours start to finish. Very pleased.

The baseplate fit perfectly and was fairly easy to install. What really helps are the videos that this company provides. I wouldn't even attempt an install without them. Saved a bunch of money and I know it is done right.

Review from a similar Standard in Base Plates
I am a pretty good do it your selfer. This was the second base plate i have installed by myself. The first one was on a 2010 Honda Fit. This job took me about 8hrs. by myself. The instructions were first rate. Plus the BIGGEST help was the instructional video about this particular car. OUT STANDING!!! The only problem i had was getting the front plastic cap back on by my self, took awhile but i got it done.
Then the second install was on my 2017 Chevrolet Colorado 4x4 pickup. I watched etrailers instructional video about 10 times. By the time i was ready to install the base plate, i pretty much knew what to expect and what to do. The truck job took me about 5 hrs. My best advice i can give is to WATCH their videos, not once, not twice but 4 or 5 times, or more, then the job goes along alot better. And it will be alot easier if you have some help to lift the front plastic cap off, and to reinstall. The rest can be done with no help.

We decided to purchase the Blue Ox set up for our 2018 Wrangler JL. The set up works very well and has been easy to connect/disconnect, so far. The instructional installation video was EXCELLENT and definitely contributed to making the installation a breeze. Thanks again etrailer. Only alteration was to the brake away switch. It seemed to stick out too far in front of the bumper, for my liking, so I added a stainless nut/bolt and two nylon bushings so it could swivel out of harms way when not in use.

Well in the past I have ordered from etrailer and had great service and speedy delivery. This order was no different, I find the product good quality and received the order in 10 days all the way in Canada. The best part about using etrailer is that they have great resources to help with installation etc. I would always recommend etrailer to anyone needing what they sell. Thanks etrailer,.

I can’t tell you much more than when we used it once it was great. It was a little difficult to install but we did it.
We sold the motor home we bought it for because of an illness in the family. So I hope this helps someone that is interested in doing it.

Once it was on it was great. But too install it . It was not easy !! An all day ordeal on a 2017 GMC Terrain
I would give it 5 stars if it was easy to install.

Etrailer is the best, they give you a video of installing this exact unit on your car. They do this for all tow cars I have ever had. This is the best company I have ever dealt with. The best customer service which is want we need in internet sales. Every person I have talked with over the years for several past purchases are polite, very knowledgeable, and eager to help solve your problem. This company is unequaled in service and having items in stock I need.

Worked perfectly. Still using it.. it was easy to install.

The Blue Ox base plates that fit your 2015 Ford F-150 Platinum FX are actually # BX2671. Blue Ox lists them for all versions of the 2015 F-150. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.
For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380. It is rated for 6,500 pounds and comes with safety cables. For lighting you can use a diode kit, # RM-15247. I have linked a video showing an example installation for you.

I believe the Blue Ox tow bar you are referring to is the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7365 rated for 6,500 lbs. There are a variety of base plate kits available for your 2004 Jeep Wrangler and the correct one all depends on what kind of bumper you have. Below is a list of the compatible base plate kits. Please note that the D-Ring options are for bumpers that have been rated for flat towing.
Aftermarket Off-Road Bumper- 7/8" Pin # BX88357
Double Tube Bumper - # BX1120 (Fixed Tabs) OR... view full answer...
The correct Blue Ox base plate for a 2005 Jeep Wrangler with a u-channel type front bumper is their kit # BX1118. Their kit # BX1124 only fits right-hand-drive models with a double-tube bumper.
Flat towing also requires a number of other component parts, including the tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit of some kind, a high/low hitch adapter and a supplementary braking system for the towed vehicle. All of these items are covered in the linked articles on flat towing.

If you want to go with a Blue Ox tow bar then first you will need Blue Ox base plates for your 2003 Jeep Wrangler. If your Jeep has the factory double tube bumper you can use # BX1120 for fixed arms or # BX1124 which has removable arms. Both of these base plates will also work with Rugged Ridge aftermarket bumpers. If your Jeep has the factory single tube bumper then you can use # BX1124.
All of these base plates are compatible with the Adventurer tow bar # BX7322. For safety cables... view full answer...
For your 2005 Jeep Wrangler with double tube bumper, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1124 is a confirmed fit as is the Blue Ox # BX1120 with fixed arms. I recommend you go with one of these options instead of the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-521424-4 which will not be compatible with the Blue Ox Removable Arms you currently have.
If you do go with the EZ4 # RM-521424-4, then there are some Blue Ox Tow Bars that will work if you use an adapter. The majority of Blue Ox towbars will work with... view full answer...
