If you like keeping your vehicle’s front end looking clean when you’re not towing, this setup does exactly that. The main body of the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms (part # C38FR) stays concealed for an OE look, while the removable arms come off quickly so nothing sticks out. It gives you a sleek finish and no bulky hardware in sight when parked or driving around town.
Getting hooked up doesn’t need to be a chore. The twist-lock tabs make installing and removing the arms fast and reliable, even when you’re by yourself. They twist to lock securely and stay put until you’re ready to uncouple. The solid connection keeps things simple, and reviewers mention how easily everything lines up and connects with their tow bars.
This kit is built from welded steel for dependable strength and fit. The design spreads towing forces evenly to minimize stress on the suspension, so it stays steady mile after mile. It’s physically tested to gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) standards and bolts securely to the chassis—no welding required. The setup has proven itself reliable over long trips, handling thousands of miles without issue.
A durable high-gloss black powder coat finish backed by a rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating keeps this base plate looking sharp and protected from corrosion. The co-cured finish covers inside and out, so it stands up to weather, road grime, and repeated towing use without wearing down.
The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit is engineered with a vehicle-specific design for a precise fit. It uses a simple bolt-on installation with included hardware—no welding required. The distance between brackets is 24" and bracket height is 14-1/2", giving you solid mounting points that line up perfectly with your tow bar setup. Once installed, you’ve got a tough, hidden connection ready for every trip ahead.
