If you want your setup to look clean when you’re not towing, this base plate kit does exactly that. The invisible design hides everything behind the fascia with no obtrusive crossbar or brackets left showing. The removable arms stay attached to your tow bar instead of sticking out from the bumper, so the front end keeps its factory look. Each receiver also includes a snap-on polyethylene cover that keeps out dirt and debris so the arms slide in and out smoothly every time you hook up.
Connecting is simple thanks to the twist-lock design. Just insert each tab into the receiver, give it a quick turn to lock, and secure it with the included safety pin. To disconnect, pull the pin, twist, and remove the arm—it’s that easy. The locking design makes it reliable for solo hookups in a driveway or at a campsite. For planning your setup, the distance between brackets is 36-1/2" and bracket height is 19".
This base plate bolts directly to the chassis with no welding required. The sturdy steel construction spreads towing forces evenly across the frame to reduce stress on your suspension during long trips. It’s designed for dependable performance mile after mile, keeping your setup solid even through extended towing runs.
If you already have a tow bar you like, there’s a good chance this will work with it. The base plate is compatible with all Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars without an adapter. For Roadmaster tow bars, just pick up the matching adapter—e98983, e98984, e98979, or e98981 (sold separately). A built-in electrical bracket lets you mount a round connector plug up front to keep your wiring neat and accessible.
This setup is designed for straightforward installation at home using basic tools. It bolts securely to the vehicle’s chassis—no welding required—and all necessary hardware and instructions are included in the box. Many do-it-yourselfers complete the job in an afternoon after removing the front fascia for access. Once installed, it’s a clean, dependable setup that’s ready for years of use.
