If you like a clean, factory look when you’re not towing, this setup nails it. The hidden design keeps the brackets tucked away so nothing sticks out past the front of your vehicle. The removable arms twist out in seconds, leaving only smooth receiver covers that block dirt and debris from getting inside. It keeps the front end clear and avoids those shin-busting brackets when walking by.
Hooking up doesn’t need to be a chore. Each arm slides into the receiver, twists to lock, and secures with a pin—so connection and removal are quick and simple. When you’re done towing, just pull the pin, rotate, and remove the arms. That’s all there is to it. The distance between brackets is 20" and bracket height is 14-1/2", giving you clear reference points for your tow bar setup.
This base plate bolts straight to your chassis using the included mounting hardware—no welding required. The sturdy steel build spreads towing forces evenly across the frame to help prevent suspension stress. It’s finished in a durable powder coat that resists rust and corrosion, ready for miles of use and any weather along the way.
Already set up with a tow bar you trust? This kit pairs directly with Blue Ox tow bars for a secure, reliable connection. It’s also adaptable for Roadmaster tow bars with adapter RM-031 or RM-031-5 (sold separately) and for Demco tow bars using adapter DM9523041 (sold separately). Integrated mounting points make it easy to attach an electrical connector plug bracket (sold separately) to keep your wiring tidy and accessible.

I am glad you were able to get it installed with no issues and a little help from our video! What kind of coach are you pulling the Kia Soul with?

Its been two years since installation of the Blue Ox Baseplate. Since then, Ive flat towed the CRV from NJ to FL and back three separate times with many other shorter trips in between. Paired with a Blue Ox Tow Bar, the system has worked flawlessly since installation.

Thanks for the detailed review Chris, and the pointers! This will be most helpful to others. What was your favorite stop in those 7,000 miles? Where did you go, what did you see?

Follow up. Ive put about 8000 miles on the setup and its been great. A 34 ton suburban pulls nicely behind my Dutch star, and they dont have a steering lock so its nice not to have to retrieve keys when stopping for the night. I have used the safety cable attachment a few times for straight line pulls with a small shackle when working as a rally racing volunteer, its been fine but I wouldnt side pull on it.
