Features to know about

Made for a Clean Front End: Hidden Base Plate with Removable Arms

If you want a towing setup that keeps your vehicle looking stock when it’s not hooked up, this one fits the bill. The main body stays concealed for a clean, OE-style appearance, and the removable arms come off when you’re done towing so there’s nothing in sight. With a completely hidden design and twist-lock tabs, the front end stays tidy and ready for everyday driving.

Hook Up Fast, Even When You’re Solo: Twist-Lock Attachment System

Getting connected shouldn’t be a hassle. The twist-lock attachment lets each arm slide in, turn to secure, and lock in place with a pin—making connection quick and reliable even if you’re setting up alone. The distance between brackets is 31-1/4" and bracket height is 21", so you can easily plan your tow bar alignment.

Strong Where It Counts: Welded Steel Construction That Spreads the Load

Built from welded steel and physically tested to the vehicle’s gross weight rating (GVWR), this kit spreads towing forces evenly across the chassis to help take pressure off the suspension. The sturdy design bolts directly to the frame—no welding required—and stays solid through long hauls. A high-gloss black powder coat with a co-cured rust-resistant Bonderite layer adds lasting protection against road wear.

Keep Your Tow Bar Setup: Compatible with Curt and Blue Ox Tow Bars

No need to replace gear you already trust. This base plate works with both Curt and Blue Ox tow bars, giving you flexibility to use what you have or upgrade later. Each kit includes base plates, safety cables, and installation hardware so you have what you need to make a secure connection before hitting the road.

Simple Weekend Project: Bolt-On Install with Included Hardware

For those who like to handle their own installs, this kit is designed for straightforward bolt-on mounting using basic tools. There’s no welding required—just align it to factory points and torque it down with the included hardware for a dependable fit that’s ready for miles of towing confidence.

Can’t say enough good things. Great experience getting my Silverado ready to flat tow from NY to AZ.
by:
2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
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.

fit and function are perfect. GMC made installation a pain due to installing the bolts on inboard of frame had to cut bolts off with hacksaw to get the factory tow hooks out

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.

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

Custom fit, everything went together smoothly. I'm ready to haul my Ford ranger behind my motor home.

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.

  • Recommended Baseplate for a 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 w/a 3.0 Diesel Engine
    It sure does Bob and congrats on the new truck. The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit item # C66JR will indeed fit the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 with a 3.0 diesel engine. The only models it doesn't fit for that year are the AT4X models with the AEV bumper. Here are the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2026 GMC Sierra 1500: Tow Bar and Safety Chains - etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates item # e67ZR Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring...

  • Will Blue Ox Tow Bars Work With Curt Base Plate Kit C66JR?
    Yes, The Curt Base Plate # C66JR will work with Blue Ox Tow bars. You didn't mention which Year/Make/Model your vehicle is but the above baseplate fits select Silverado/Sierra 1500's so I recommend going with the Blue Ox # BX7420 which is rated to 10,000lbs so you know even with your truck loaded with gear you won't be overloading the tow bar. If you can send me the Year/Make/Model of your specific truck I'd be happy to recommend the remaining parts needed to flat tow your vehicle.

  • Is There Base Plate Kit that Fits 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Turbo Engine
    Hey Noel, the Curt base plate kit part # C66JR that you referenced will not work for you since it does not fit the turbo models like what you have but we do have the Roadmaster Direct Connect kit part # RM86MR that will work for you. Do you have a tow bar already?

    Yes, the Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C66JR will connect to a Blue Ox Tow Bar Like the Avail # BX7420. Be sure that your tow bars are rated for the weight of your 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500LTD plus any additional cargo that may be carried in inside the truck or bed. Since the battery is required to be disconnected when towing a 12 Volt Outlet Kit # RM-9332 will be needed to power the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR.
