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.

  • Parts Needed and Guide To Flat Tow A 2020 Chevy Spark LS With Manual Transmission
    Congratulations on the new 2020 Chevy Spark LS. To flat tow the Spark, it will need a base plate to begin with. I recommend Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms part # BX1725 which have removable base plate tabs for a discreet look when not in use. For the tow bar, I recommend The Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar part # BX7420 which is a non-binding design to make hooking up and unhooking the Spark from the motor home so much easier. The latches release tension to allow you to unhook the Spark...

  • How to Flat Tow 2019 Chevy Spark LT with Manual Transmission Behind Motorhome
    I found the owners manual for your 2019 Chevy Chevy Spark and under the recreational towing section I found basically all you have to do is put the vehicle in neutral and disconnect the negative battery terminal since you have a manual transmission. Since the battery gets disconnected you would need an outlet kit part # RM-9332 to power the supplemental braking system. The automatic transmission Sparks have to be towed on a dolly like the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1. For a base plate...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2020 Chevy Spark
    I'll start off by saying that from what I was able to determine from the owner's manual, the automatic transmission version of the 2020 Chevy Spark cannot be dinghy towed and would need to be towed on a dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713045. If you've got a manual transmission, there are a number of parts you'll need to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking and most likely a high/low adapter. I've also linked some...

  • Recommendation For All Parts Needed To Flat Tow 2017 Chevrolet Spark
    According to the 2017 Chevrolet Spark owner's manual, only the manual transmission vehicles can be flat towed. Automatic transmission vehicles can only be transported with a dolly or trailer. To flat tow a 2017 Spark with manual transmission, you will need base plates, compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, a supplemental braking system, and maybe a high low hitch adapter. For base plates, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms, Item # BX1725. It sounds...

  • Does a Vehicle that Weighs Less than 3,000 lb Need Supplemental Braking if Flat Towed
    Hey Pete, that is an odd piece of advice you found where it said that if the car weighs less than 3,000 lb a supplemental braking system isn't required. The laws on that do vary state to state so I would for sure check in your area but it would be best to be on safe side and install one like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.

  • Do I Need to Disconnect the Battery to Flat-Tow a 2020 Spark LS Manual Transmission
    You will have to disconnect the battery on your 2020 Chevrolet Spark to flat-tow it. Since the battery will be disconnected, the ignition will not be in accessory mode. You will not need to disconnect the Electronic Stable Control system. To disconnect the battery I recommend the Roadmaster Automatic Battery Disconnect with Switch for Towed Vehicle w/ Supplemental Braking System # RM-766. I recommend this switch because it easily disconnects the battery in your towed vehicle. You will...

  • Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2018 Chevy Spark with Manual Transmission
    The 2018 Chevy Spark EV has the active air shutters so the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1725 will work well for you. For a tow bar the Blue Ox part # BX7380 would be a great option that would fit and work well too. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way...

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plate Kit Fit with Curt Tow Bar for a 2017 Chevy Spark
    If you already have the Curt Tow Bar # C19745 then you will need to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1725 with the Adapter Kit # BX8833 for your 2017 Chevy Spark. If you already have the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-523185-5 then you will need to use a Roadmaster tow bar that slides into the hitch receiver like the Falcon 2 # RM-520. Unfortunately there are no adapters from a Roadmaster base plate kit to a Curt tow bar. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit,...

  • Recommended Base Plates and Tow Bar to Flat Tow a 2017 Chevrolet Sonic
    The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1725 is confirmed to fit the 2016 Chevrolet Spark. I contacted Blue Ox and they believe it will fit the 2017 as well but have not tested it with the 2017 as of yet. So at this time I can only recommend the Roadmaster EZ4 # RM-523185-4 and EZ5 # RM-523185-5 for your Spark. For a wiring kit that uses the Spark's lights without tapping into its wiring use # RM-155. I've attached an install video on a 2016 Sonic that is a similar process. Our most popular...

  • Tow Bar Cover for RoadMaster StowMaster and Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 2017 Chevrolet Spark
