Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Parts Needed to Flat Tow
    It looks like your 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a curb weight that ranges from 4,510 lbs to 5,460 lbs. I'm not sure what the towing weight rating is for your Class A but you should be able to find it in the manual, on a sticker, or you can call Forest River with your VIN and they should be able to tell you the max that you can tow - I would be surprised if your Class A couldn't handle your 1500 though. When it comes to the equipment needed to flat tow you need a base plate kit, tow bar,...

The installation of the Blue Ox Base Plate # BO94FR and Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit # BX8848 is likely going to take between 3-4 hours for experienced installers; for those who are doing this for the first time it's likely going to take you twice that.
