Most Popular Twist Lock Attachment for 2018 Nissan Frontier

Build quality is excellent. No issues what-so-ever regarding the integrity and the strength of the design. Installation was not without issues. Some self-inflicted wounds like when I lost lock on all the fasteners for the bumper and frontend. I bet there were over 50 screws and clips each of which had their own location. I wish I would have put them in separate baggies and labeled everything. Also, suggest you use masking or painters’ tape to line everything up before you take the front bumper and cowling off. That would have saved time. BlueOx recommends using a 1.25in hole saw. NOT for me. No way you can get the hole saw to bite. Much better is a tapered drill. Available for about the same price as a hole saw, far more versatile, and a LOT EASIER to control. I’ll admit to not being the sharpest spoon in the drawer and I am a bit retentive, but I spent probably 20 hours on the install. The issue I had was not with the baseplate perse, but rather with taking everything apart and then figuring out how to put it back together again with no leftover parts. There are two criticisms I would levy at BlueOx. ONE: They provide a helper to install an otherwise inaccessible nut. Well that’s fine, but the threads were fouled and need to be cleaned. That should have been prior to shipment. And TWO: They were explicit in their measurements, which I followed, and messed-up. By the time I found the issue, I would have had to take the bumper off – so I improvised a work-around.

The devices were delivered in a sturdy box and were delivered right on time. etrailer also supplies a video on how to install this item. Harbor Freight doesn't do that!

Had it installed at a shop as it was too much to do by myself. Had a two month away date for trailer to even get it into there shop.

Great Company Product arrived on time and the tracking information was above and beyond what I expected Product is exactly as described and of excellent quality Would highly recommend etrailer and Roadmaster

I have installed and used a half dozen or so of the Blue Ox baseplates over the years on various towed vehicles. Quality is first rate, installation is easy and the assemblies very well engineered. I continue to use etrailer as my source for Blue Ox components and technical assistance.

Thank you fast delivery

great fit. a slight cut needed to be made in the bumper bracket to facilitate the round tube to fit through the bracket. but, other than that, it was an easy install took about 2 hours if you include the coffee brakes. this part is highly recommended. Fast shipping. the beast human service. thank you.

Kit was installed by hitching post on Ocala Florida. The installation has been a success. I really like the diodes for compatable wiring. Towed about 4 thousand miles in my Ram and feel confident that it will go many more.

GREAT customer service, great product arrived as promised.

Easy installation and great quality.

Order came very quickly. Nice product. This is my second blue Ox base plate to install. This one was much more difficult to install because of all the extra bolts this unit requires with such a small hole to put the nuts through. It is a good fit, but more design thought should have gone into it to make it easier to install. My first install was on a Jeep Wrangler and was able to do it in about 2 hours. This one took over 5 hours and I had all the right tools .needed. I chose blue Ox because of past experience with this product and do recommend it to anyone. Would have given it 5 stars if it wasn’t so hard to install.

This Roadmaster base plate kit was easy to install and appears to be very strong and is just right to use on my Jeep Wrangler that I tow with a motor home

Installed on my 2020 jeep jl sport s with factory plastic bumper and plastic rock guard. Shane’s video was very helpful but I did not like how the metal plate behind the rock guard was cut away and how the rock guard had two big cut outs so I did some modifications. I cut two slots in the metal bracket and added angle brackets for extra support. As a result i did not use the supplied brackets for the rock guard. I created a template for the rock guard which resulted in two small cut outs. A lot of extra time but i am retired so time is relative. I think it looks great.

Excellent service on a timely delivery. The box was torn apart but all the parts were inside. I’m sure it didn’t get shipped that way but damaged by the carrier.

Super simple install and stealthy look once installed. This looks way better than any other baseplate on the market. A+

I like the design and ease of the hook up . After 7,000 miles of towing a 1500 Ram there is obvious wear in the whole tow kit .That is with keeping the components clean and using lots of Road Master spray lube. In my opinion that lube does not provide enough cushion .

The kit worked and fit as expected. I felt the video was more helpful to me than the instructions. Cutting out the front plate was a little more challenging than I expected. Really, installing this at home, on Jack stands, rather than a lift was my real challenge. But then I am 77 years old.

The removable arms were an absolute pain to install. That might have been different if I had a better drill, but I had to drill holes in extremely thick metal to attach these arms and it took me awhile just to get the holes drilled. I went through bits and oil for hours to get the holes drilled, but I also didn't have the money to spend on buying specific additional tools for the project. The arms work great. Very nice to be able to remove the arms when you're not using them and then you can add them in about 5 seconds each if you need to use them. I installed them on a 2018 F-150 Roush.

Very good instructions and videos. Taking off valance was a little scary at first but videos were so much help. Drilling holes in the frame went faster than anticipated. Great instructions thanks

This base plate is of exceptional value and construction. It was fairly easy to install on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler by myself but would have been quicker if I had an extra set of hands. Overall I am extremely happy with how the base plate looks and the customer service was above and beyond expectations. I would recommend the base plate and you don't have to look anywhere else than etrailers for what you need.

Exact replacement for our broken one. Your installer recommendation of Montana trailer services is spot on. John Bell is the owner and sole person. He is terrific. Did excellent quick job, he is knowledgeable and noted prior installer left off safety cables. Recommend him to all. Thank you

Just what I needed to flat tow my Jeep Wrangler. When I first received the base plate I was thinking about having it installed, but after watching the etrailer.com installation video I decided to do it myself. Couldn't have asked for a smoother install. The permanent base plate safety cables concerned me a little. I came up with a figure-8 over the frame that I think will work ok and I did secure it with some cable ties in a couple of spots. Thanks to Nick at etrailer for the help and to the folks that made the installation video giving me the confidence to do-it-myself.

Made extremely well, heavy duty construction and nice finish. Fits as it should, easy to install. I highly recommend the Blue OX Base plate kit, you will not be disappointed!

I installed this on a 2018 Wrangler. The quality of build is very good with nice paint and welds. The instructions were reasonably through but did leave some room for improvement in the alignment discussion. I was not a fan of the weldnuts provided as the weld joints with the rod and nut were very poor and I had to jury rig some tools to use some that broke off prematurely. On my Jeep, the instructions for installing the safety cables simply would not work. There was insufficient clearance in the frame to route the clips so I am still trying to find a way to use them. I have towed with the installed plate with no problems and feel confident it will be safe and secure.

I must admit the only way that understanding the instructions and installing the BX1126 Base Plate on my 2014 Jeep Wrangler could have been any easier. Would be if there would have been a mechanic in the box to install it for me. The videos on etrailer are great and will answer any questions that you might have.

I cannot believe the awesome service we received from e trailer. When the part I ordered was delayed from the manufacture company Blue Ox themselves, Steve C and George J of e trailer kept me updated, and insured that the part was delivered to me before my scheduled installation date. THANK YOU so much for your concern and follow up, you guys are the best!

Very fast shipping, excellent communication. The price was great and the quality of the product and installation instructions were spot on. Thanks for so much info on your site

Great base plate kit, installed fast without issues on my 2012 jeep wrangler jk,delivered quickly, 5 star service. Thanks etrailer

Great product for my 2014 Wrangler. Good materials, solid attachment to vehicle, and looks good. The e trailer installation video was great for assisting installation. Made the install much quicker and easier. The most difficult procedure for me was disconnecting the wiring harness on the back of the bumper. An old tack puller (or tool of similar design) would have been great for leveraging the pins out of their holes. Cutting the air dam was a slow process to ensure I didn't cut too much. A paper template to mark where to cut the air dam would make this process much simpler. Again, I can't emphasize enough how great the installation video was for making the steps easier.

Have not installed yet but service has been excellent.

Received this in two days and planning to install over the weekend. Thanks Etrailer.

After 1year using my Blue Ox baseplate I am still completely satisfied with my purchase. I installed the baseplate myself, it was a little challenging , but the instructions/video made it doable. The removable pins work very well, when they are removed you barely notice anything. You can’t even tell it’s a dinghy when it’s not being towed. I would recommend this baseplate to anyone wanting to tow their Mini-Cooper. I imagine that all Blue Ox baseplate are equally well built and reliable.

Works just like the video with the green Jeep shows you. The hardest part was getting the outside nuts off the bumper. Use long extensions and a swivel and a short 18 mm socket. Other than that it went smoothly. But my friend has a lift so it was a lot easier to do it all baseplate , wiring, and brake buddy cable.

This was a quick install on my 2011 Wrangler Rubicon. Contrary to the Q&A advice that the c38FR (Curt 70102) base plate does not fit the Rubicon with the base stock Rubicon bumper, it indeed does fit. The base plate tucks up within an inch or so of the bottom of the bumper. Base plate C33FR (Curt 70110) recommended by eTrailer and Curt for the stock Wrangler Rubicon would hang down 4 inches below the bumper and would not be a great look!
