Features to know about
Built for a Clean Look: Hidden Main Body with Removable Arms
When you’re not towing, this base plate keeps your vehicle’s front end clean and uncluttered. The main body stays concealed behind the fascia for an OE-style appearance, while the removable arms leave nothing sticking out. It’s a simple setup that keeps everything looking tidy when you’re just driving around town.
Quick to Connect and Remove: Twist-Lock Tabs for Easy Hook-Up
The twist-lock attachment makes connecting your tow bar fast and frustration-free. Each arm twists into place, locks, and can be removed just as easily when you’re done towing. No tools or complex steps—just a clean, secure connection that keeps your setup straightforward every time you hook up.
Confidence in Motion: Welded Steel Design Tested to GVWR
This base plate is built from welded steel and physically tested to gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) standards. The solid construction spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help reduce stress on the suspension. It’s a dependable setup that’s made for long hauls and peace of mind mile after mile.
Straightforward Setup: Bolt-On Installation with Included Hardware
Installing this kit doesn’t call for welding or complicated fabrication. It bolts securely to the chassis using the provided hardware for a strong and accurate fit. The design keeps alignment simple so you can get everything mounted and ready to tow without guesswork or special tools.
Built to Last: Co-Cured, Rust-Resistant Finish
The durable high-gloss black powder coat is co-cured in a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating for added protection against corrosion. It stays looking good through weather, road spray, and years of use, giving you a solid base plate setup that holds up over time.

The package was delivered to my home with no damage. The baseplate with its parts along with the rest of my order was all packed neatly with extra cardboard and paper packaging material around everything so nothing would get damaged in transit.
The installation instructions were clear. The parts fit perfectly. I’ve purchased parts from etrailer before and never had any problems. Also, the few times I’ve had questions I’ve always been able to talk to someone who is knowledgeable and very helpful.

Base Plates mounted on my 2022 Ford Bronco is holding up 100. Great quality finish that has not rusted. I have seen base plates from other companies being installed on Broncos and they are making major modifications. Not my Curt Custom Base Plates. An easy DYI with no major modifications. We have towed our Bronco 13,000 miles behind our Class A and its a flawless tow. These base plates were also priced much better then other brands. Thank you Etrailer!

Disassembly of the front clip of the Colorado was challenging as far as fit up curt kit worked well. The gal at etrailer was very knowledgeable fast shipping. Finally every time I do business with you I’m never disappointed.

Instructions stink, this installs much lower than the instructions show, several things are far more in the way that the instructions make it seem Also, the installation is into weak sheetmetal, after your torque this to 75 ft lbs, you will see the steel bending and the bolts are no longer flat against the mounts. Vevor level junk for way to much money for what it is.

Jaime was very helpful in getting the right baseplate for my Jeep Cherokee and in retuning the wrong item which I ordered myself.
The baseplate installed easily and will be used for the first time next week. Also, the curt base plate did not require any trimming whatsoever of the plastics on the front of the car.
Thanks Jaime

This is not the first time I have purchased from ETrailer, but by far the best experience yet. I was treading in uncharted waters and decided to call, i happened to get Paula S. And she was able to educate me on the subject at hand. She also made sure I was ordering all the right parts for the task at hand. I received the two boxes of parts and assembled everything on the vehicle and noticed i was missing something so I called back and talked to Ashley. She assured me that Paula did order the missing part and that it would be here the next day. (Delayed due to holiday) You can sure tell both ladies love their jobs and liked taking care of us customers. I will always try to deal with them when I need something towing related.

Hey Richard! Paula an Ashley are always on the ball so I'm glad that they got to help you out. I see you pretty much got a full flat tow set up, have you started making any plans yet of where to venture off to yet?

Great Base plate kit! Very easy to follow instructions even with my aftermarket bumper with winch. It fit perfect. The only issue I have is where the safety cables attach to the base plate….the cable connectors are too big to fit through the holes because the Jeep’s frame blocks part of the hole. See photo with red circle. I will have to get a smaller connector.

Fit like it was made for it. :) Only issue was the fishing wires for the bolts in the frame. They would not fit through the holes in the locking plates so I couldn't use them. I used a magnet stick instead and it worked well. I did not put on the safety cables around the frame. I figure since this thing bolts to the steering box, if it comes off so does the steering box and then I have much bigger issues that these cables are not going to help.

This base plate kit worked very well with the Blue Ox Acclaim non-binding tow bar - coupler for 2" ball (code BX4330). We towed a 4 door Rubicon over 2000 miles and the setup worked great. The bar is very easy to couple and uncouple. The removable arms work exactly as advertised. I did have to cut two small slots in my custom bumper to install the base plate, but the slots are not in strength critical areas. The installation instruction are clear and good.

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.
