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 to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with a Manual Transmission
    I wasn't able to find anything that said the manual transmission model cannot be flat towed. With that being said it's not up to me, it's up to Subaru. And I can't recommend you going against what they're telling you. There very well could be other factors that prevent the car from being flat towed other than the transmission. I can't recall the exact model/year but there are some Subarus that cannot be flat towed because the front bumper is rated or towing. Not sure if this is the...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
    I checked the owners manual of your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek and it is flat towable as-is which you can confirm if you check out the owners manual as well. You'd need to start with the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX3622 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. Then for a tow bar the Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 is a really great option that's easy to use and allows the tow vehicle to track better behind the motorhome. For lighting we have the # RM-15247. The diode kit that comes with...

  • Base Plate Kit For Toyota Tacoma
    The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX3622 that you linked to is for a Subaru not a Toyota but there is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX3795 that is fit guided for the Toyota. While per the manufacturer, you should not attempt to flat tow a Toyota Tacoma, anything can be made to flat tow if you make enough changes. This is not the norm, and actually only very small percentage of people will go to this much trouble and expense to make a vehicle able to be flat towed, some do. The Toyota...

  • How To Use a Blue Ox Aventa LX Tow Bar On a Subaru Crosstrek with Roadmaster Base Plate Kit
    It is possible to use the Blue Ox Aventa LX Tow Bar BX7445 that you have now with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # RM-52927-5 which is a fit for a Subaru Crosstrek.

  • Why Are There Compatible Flat Towing Components For A CVT 2021 Subaru Crosstrek
    CVT models of the 2021 Crosstrek aren't really designed to be flat-towed but there will still be flat towing components that are confirmed to fit simply because the manual transmission models can be flat towed. You would either need a Crosstrek with a manual transmission or would need to pick another vehicle to flat tow. If you have another vehicle that you can tow then let me know the year/make/model and I'd be happy to check tow-ability and recommend the correct components to get you...
