When you’re logging serious miles, you want a setup that can handle it. The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms is built from durable steel with a sturdy, dependable design that spreads towing forces evenly to minimize stress on your suspension. The brackets bolt securely to the chassis—no welding required—so you know your connection stays tight mile after mile.
If you like a clean, factory look when you’re not towing, this setup keeps things tidy. There’s no external crossbar or big brackets sticking out—just the base plate tabs remain visible. When you unhook, snap on the included tab covers to block out dirt and debris and protect your shins from bumps. Each cover is high-density polyethylene and pops easily into place for a neat finish.
This base plate kit takes the headache out of installation. Everything bolts up directly with the included hardware—no welding needed—and instructions guide you through each step. The hidden reinforcement design means less visible metal once it’s installed, giving you a solid mount without cluttering the front end.
You don’t have to start over if you already own a tow bar. The kit works with all Demco tow bars right out of the box and can be adapted for use with other brands using Demco’s adapter lineup (sold separately). It even includes an electrical bracket so you can mount a round connector plug right on the front, keeping your wiring organized and easy to reach.
Planning out your flat-towing setup is easier with real measurements in hand. The distance between brackets is 31" center to center, and bracket height is 18-1/2". With those specs, you can dial in the rest of your gear with confidence before hitting the road.

I wish now that I would have went with the Blue Ox system. I have trouble disconnecting and connecting and the brackets have had some give to them. They never seemed to align correctly. Contacted the company who assured me they were installed correct. Will be buying a new Colorado truck soon and will be installing the Blue Ox on it. Tow bar works as promised. Love it.

After one year, the base plate kit is still going strong as ever. Nothing has broken or come loose.

After a year, baseplate works great. Changed tow bar to a non-ball type. No baseplate connection issues.
