Specs:
Setting up these invisible base plates for use with your etrailer tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. 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.
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.
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.
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.

Get a clean, factory look for your car when it's not being towed by using these invisible base plates. Tabs remain on tow bar arms and easily secure to base plate receivers with a quick turn. Simple, bolt-on installation with included hardware.Had looked at other ones So glad we went through E trailer Much easier to install. My advice would be don't follow the temp plates in the directions. Your better off measuring it yourself.
I tell people all the time on Facebook how awesome etrailer is, your go to place looking for base plates, trailer items wiring you name it and they came through again and this time in a very timely manner, my second base plate to be installed on my new to me Jeep thank you etrailer
Something very important to me is communication. etrailer hands down is the best company I've ever delt with that communicates with their customers during the entire process. I continue to use them over numerous other companies due to this, their fast shipping, and resources (e.g. how to install, customers pictures, etc.). etrailer is my first choice for anything relating to RV's, trailers, etc.
Even though the box was damaged in transport, all parts were there and none were damaged due to the good packing that was done!
Super product that has performed well towing my 2020 Jeep Sahara. High quality with everything I needed included. The etrailer videos were super helpful before and after the purchase for easy setup. CHEERS!
Joseph - 08/11/2022Looks great after installed professionally about six months ago. Jeep was delivered late so I actually had the base plate prior to owning this vehicle.
Baseplate was great all the parts were there, the fit was good and the installation was time consuming but the template to cut the plastic skid plate were nowhere near accurate, had to remove and reinstall several times to get it right.
Just installed yesterday looks great, good instructions
It’s awesome everything came in on date they they said it would. There was a little problem in shipping the freight company tore the box lost apartment they sent the new part to me within a couple days no question I asked . Very pleased with the way it installed on my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon . If I need any other parts for my jeep wrangler I will be ordering them through etrailer
Very easy installation on my jeep. All fastener points lined up perfectly.
Using on a 2020 Gladiator with an aftermarket bumper. I did make some modifications to the bumper for this to work. Fits like a glove, even tighter. Installation kicked my butt a little at first but was to my own fault and stubbornness and not product or installation instructions. Spoke with customer service rep, Michael, and he assured me product would fit. Great product. Performed test run on 8-26 and worked as advertised. Highly recommend!
Ronald - 02/02/2022Does exactly what the name says. Invisible (or less visible) than other base plate. Much better finish.
Great base plate would buy again. Follow the instructions and watch YouTube was an easy project to install.
This product is superior! The directions were precise plus the online videos make it super easy to self install. Applied to my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sport.
The installation instructions and video were misleading. Much more difficult to install then portrayed. Getting the base plate bracket holes to line up with the existing bumper bracket holes was very difficult. 1-2 hours spent trying to align holes.
Instructions describe how to cut holes in plastic under bumper cover. Instructions say nothing about how difficult it is to reinstall and fit around existing bumper, brackets, and base plate.
Jenny N - 12/09/2021Easy to install, great product and better priced than similar products out there.
First off let me say this is not my first order from etrailer. Previous orders have been very smooth with timely delivery and quality product with excellent customer service from available Technicians to help out with issues pertaining to installation. This current order arrived with the major component missing (baseplate). etrailer has stepped up and is currently doing battle with UPS. Thanks to Nicole R. for all of your attention to this matter. I will continue to do business with this upstanding company in the future. Merry Christmas!
Fit great! Even with aftermarket bumper.
Quick delivery, product quality very good. Installation went very well, would recommend this product to anyone that has a similar application.
Need to add better notes to directions. Need to know that the air dam needs to be cut and install BEFORE bumper is reinstalled.
The kit had all required parts and seems to be very well built.
Looks very Heavy duty
Attached easily, only problem that I encountered was reinstalling the plastic dust pan it appears that the 2 corners of the plate need a little grinding. they pushed into the plastic pan. Thanks
Nice quality travels excellent
Excellent condition received will let you know after installation
