Simple, Invisible Design

Setting up these invisible base plates for use with your etrailer tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle , your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.


Easy Hookup and Disconnect

Demco Base Plate Tabless Hookup

Using the etrailer invisible base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.


Receiver Covers

Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.


Tow Bar Adapters

If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. etrailer offers adapters for use with other tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

Great product perfect fit no cutting of bumper required. Everything is in the black part of bumper so hardly noticeable.
I wound up putting the wire plug for the lights and charger in the engine compartment. Only had to drill one hole . It’s easy open hood plug it in and cord fits nicely.

  • Can a 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss with a Plow Frame be Flat Towed
    Hey James, thanks for reaching out! According to my research, your 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss meets the requirements to be flat towed (it has a two-speed transfer case), but if the plow frame you're talking about is something you had installed for a plow, then you'll need to move your truck with a trailer because the plow mounts will be in the same location as the bracket for a base plate kit like the etrailer # e97FV. The only other alternative would be to have the plow mounts removed...
