Features to know about
Built for a Clean Front End: Hidden Main Body with Removable Arms
This setup keeps things looking tidy when you’re not towing. The main body stays concealed for an OE-style appearance, and the removable arms twist out easily so there’s nothing sticking out from the bumper. It’s a clean, unobtrusive design that protects the front end from knee bumps while keeping the vehicle’s look intact.
Quick Hookups Every Time: Twist-Lock Tabs for Easy Connection
The twist-lock attachment makes it simple to connect or remove the arms whenever you need to. Each arm slides in, twists to lock, and secures with a pin—no tools or extra alignment hassle required. When paired with a compatible tow bar, it keeps setup quick and smooth whether you’re in your driveway or at camp.
Solid and Dependable: Welded Steel Construction with Rust-Resistant Finish
This base plate kit is built from welded steel for dependable strength and even load distribution across the chassis. It’s physically tested to gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) standards for safe towing performance. The co-cured rust-resistant liquid Bonderite coating and high-gloss black powder coat finish add long-term durability against road wear and weather.
Straightforward Install: Bolt-On Design with Included Hardware
There’s no welding required—everything bolts directly to the chassis using the supplied hardware. The precise welds ensure a solid fit, and the design spreads towing forces evenly to minimize stress on the suspension. With installation hardware included, it’s ready to mount up and go.
Ready for Trusted Pairings: Compatible with Curt and Blue Ox Tow Bars
If you already run Curt or Blue Ox towing gear, this base plate kit connects right up. It includes two attachment tabs for connecting the tow bar and comes with safety cables for securing to the vehicle frame. The setup gives you a solid foundation for confident towing on every trip.

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!

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.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Tow Bar Base Plate
- Tow Bar Recommendation for 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 Curt Base Plate KitThe Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C97BR is compatible with both Curt and Blue Ox tow bars, so since your 2009 Dodge Ram 3500 is a heavier truck I recommend going with the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e67ZR. This tow bar has a 10,500 lb weight rating and has adapters so it will fit with your Curt base plate kit directly, plus it comes with same-rated safety cables and an adjustable head to minimize the need for a high-low adapter. Attached is a review video for you to reference.
