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.
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.
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.
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.

Very happy with this base plate. I did 100% of the install by myself in about 3 to 4 hours. Their video and others found on YouTube made it easy. They walk you through every step. I do wish the bolt holes were slotted or a little bigger. Any 3 bolts lined up easy but not the forth. No big deal and dealt with a file.
Works very well, no complaints. Like all base plates, it is a project to install, but once it's installed, it just works. The etrailer videos on the install process were invaluable in sequencing the work and understanding exactly what had to be removed to get the base plate correctly installed.
Installed on a 2016 Grand Cherokee. It is definitely an intermediate level DIY requiring extensive disassembly of front grill. The clips that hold the fascia to the front bumpers need some more detail in the otherwise excellent video because it is difficult to figure out which direction to pull/pry without breaking clips.
The towbar was also about 1/8" too narrow for my car's frame and required some jacking and modifying of the hole.
Great product if your handy easy to install, just take your time. Plastic hole covers were missing in box, but company was excellent in sending replacement. Definitely recommend buying from them
Overall a good product but it took some matching to get it to fit. They need to get on top of there quality control!
I installed this in my Jeep Grand Cherokee with no help, although a buddy would have made it go about 1/3 faster. Have towed it thousands of miles behind my motorhome with zero issues. This was my first time ever doing this type of work; it wasn’t rocket science. If you are handy you can figure it out - save yourself a grand or two and install yourself! Great product.
It has been great. Great quality, easy to install and easy to maintain.
Great towbar, easy to install and easy to hook up to the rv.
It is so easy to work with eTrailer!! A couple of phone calls and all your questions are answered. Their videos are also spot on and helped me tremendously when the place that installed the base plate said that they wouldn't install the BRK2505 brake breakaway kit. A simple view of their video and i was confident I would be able to tackle this portion of the install. thanks eTrailer, GREAT JOB!!
Easy install on my 2018 Grand Cherokee and it works great with my Blue Ox for towing.
I had to make a slight adjustment to the mounting bolt holes on one side of the base plate. I understand the variations that can happen during the manufacturing of a vehicle. The base plate was find and I have used it twice since purchased.
The baseplate is well made and has a nice finish. However, it was about 1/8” too wide to I had to do some trimming near the core support/frame to get it to slide in. Then the rear bolt holes were equally too wide so I had to team them out a bit to be able to get the bolts in.
This is the part that I needed. It arrived on-time and in good condition. (The card board shipping box was damaged, and had been repaired with clear tape, but nothing was missing and all of the contents were in good shape.)
Installed this on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK (older style). Jeep made both models this year. Easy install, tows great.
Quick shipping and the hitch looks well made. I will install it soon after I get my braking system!!
Very speedy delivery, Thanks
