If you like a setup that doesn’t change the look of your vehicle when parked, this base plate delivers. The main body stays concealed for an OE-style finish, and the removable draw bars come off when you’re not towing. Nothing bulky hangs below the bumper, so you get a clean, unobtrusive appearance whether you’re on the road or at the campsite.
When it’s time to tow, the twist-lock attachment system makes connecting fast and secure. Each arm locks into place with a simple turn—no complex tools or alignment struggles needed. It’s a straightforward system that works smoothly every time you hook up or detach your tow bar.
This kit is constructed of welded steel and physically tested to gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) standards for safe towing. The sturdy design spreads towing force evenly to reduce stress on your suspension and connection points. A high-gloss black powder coat and rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating protect the metal from corrosion, so it stays solid after miles of use.
No welding required here—this base plate bolts directly to the chassis using the included installation hardware. The design and hardware make for a reliable fit without extra fabrication work. The brackets are spaced 18" apart with a bracket height of 19.5", so you can plan your setup confidently before installing.
If you already have a Curt or Blue Ox tow bar, you’re set. The Curt Custom Base Plate Kit #C83ZJ connects directly with either brand’s setup, including compatibility with the Blue Ox BX7335 tow bar. It’s an easy way to keep using your existing gear while getting a secure, properly matched base plate system.

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!

Nothing an extra set of hands can't do! I am glad you were able to get it installed. Where are you headed first with your new setup?
