Features to know about

Simple, Tabless Design

Setting up these tabless base plates for use with your Demco 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 Demco Tabless 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

Demco makes 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.

  • Can Demco Base Plate Be Used With NSA Ready Brute Tow Bar On 2025 Ford Maverick?
    Hello Jeremiah, thanks for reaching out. We do have the Demco base plate and flat tow wire harness for your 2025 Ford Maverick. For that I recommend the following: - Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # DM38CV - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles - 7-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter Cord # RM-15267 - Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-156-25 As far as your Ready Brute tow bar, it can be adapted to the Demco base plate, but we do...

  • Is the Curt RVi Series or Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo Better for a 2025 Ford Maverick?
    Hey Rich, welcome back! If you plan on keeping your 2025 Ford Maverick Hybrid for a few years and/or flat tow it often, I recommend using the Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo item # SM99251. It's a permanently installed system and all you have to do is flip a switch when you're ready to head out. The initial install is elaborate but the components are going to be completely out of the way for daily driving. I've linked an installation video below we did on a 2025 Maverick so you can see how to get...

  • Is Base Plate Kit Install for 2024 Ford Maverick and 2025 Maverick the Exact Same
    Hey John, since 2024 and 2025 Ford Mavericks are different generations the base plate kits are different which means the install is different too. For example the etrailer base plate kit part # e96GV that you referenced fits 2025 and 2026 Mavericks (so far) and does not fit a 24'. I did attach a set of install instructions for the # e96GV for you to check out as well which will walk you through the entire process. We also have the Demco part # DM38CV that fits the 25' models and based...

  • Will Demco Base Plate Fit 2026 For Maverick Hybrid Lariat
    Hey Bob! We are ahead of manufacturer fitment pretty often, and have confirmed that the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM38CV will fit the 2026 Maverick Hybrid. Our own etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e96GV shares the same design so you can use that as well. It will work with a Demco tow bar if you already have one, and etrailer tow bars like the SD # e34ZR and XHD # e94ZR. If you would prefer manufacturer confirmation, then I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit...

  • Is Demco Base Plate Kit # DM38CV Correct for 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat
    Hey Charles, yes our Demco base plate kit part # DM38CV is the same as the Demco base plate kit part number 9519366. The product pictures are probably an older version of what we used to carry that fit Mavericks.

  • Demco Flat Tow Setup for 2026 Ford Maverick Hybrid With Demco Dominator Tow Bar
    Hey Adam, congratulations on the new truck! Since you already have your tow bar you need a base plate kit, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. I recommend the following: -Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM38CV (compatible with your Demco Dominator # DM9511008) -Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles # RM-15267 -Curt RVi Series Shadow 2 Flat Tow Brake System # RVI94FR (includes a charge line) Since the Dominator has a built-in rise/drop you won't need a high-low...
