Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2015 Lincoln MKX Behind a Motorhome
    You can flat tow your 2015 Lincoln MKX with all 4 wheels on the ground. This information is located in the recreational towing section of the vehicle owner's manual, page 221. There are 5 major components needed to flat tow a vehicle: base plates, tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use # 4408-1 if your MKX does NOT have adaptive cruise control. Or you can use # 4408-5 if it does have adaptive cruise control. For a compatible tow bar I...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Lincoln MKX AWD
    I took a look at the owner's manual for the 2017 Lincoln MKX and found out yes, it can be flat towed (you will want to refer to the page on "Recreational Towing" in the manual to ensure you follow the necessary procedures). There are a number of parts you're going to need in order to do this, starting with compatible base plates. I recommend the Blue Ox # BX2673. For a tow bar I recommend going with the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 because of how easy the tow bar is to connect to the base plates...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2017 Lincoln MKX
    Baseplate installs typically take the better part of a day to complete as you're typically pulling the entire fascia/bumper off and most of the time doing quite a bit of drilling or trimming to get a baseplate like the # BX2673 installed. We typically schedule a full day for baseplates because things don't always want to run smoothly. Your motorhome should have a 7-way on the back of it, if not then you'll need part # ETBC7 and some additional wire # 10-2-1 to run up to the front of the...

  • Flat Towing Parts Needed for 2018 Lincoln MKX with Adaptive Cruise Control
    I am happy to help you with the flat towing components needed to complete the setup for your 2018 Lincoln MKX. I linked an overview article on flat towing that covers everything from A to Z. Starting with base plates the item from Blue Ox that you referenced, # BX2673, is an excellent choice and what I would have recommended. This base plate will work well with your Aventa LX tow bar. If you need replacement safety cables you can use kit # RM-643. For a wiring/lighting kit you have many...

  • Which Base Plate Kit Fits 2020 Lincoln Nautilus
    For the 2020 Lincoln Nautilus the Blue Ox base plate kit you need is the part # BX2680. The # BX2673 while similar in appearance would not fit your vehicle and there's no amount of modification we could guarantee would be safe. I attached an install video for this kit on a similar Nautilus for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2017 Lincoln MKX EcoBoost with Adaptive Cruise Control
    The Blue Ox base plate kit that you will need to use is part # BX2673 for your 2017 Lincoln MKX EcoBoost with Adaptive Cruise Control. If you don't already have a tow bar and safety cables then I highly recommend the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380which comes with safety cables rated for 6,500 lbs. For a supplemental braking system the Air Force One # SM99243 is the best for you since your 2013 Tiffin Phaeton has air brakes. You will also need to use the Relay # RM-88400 unless you plan...

  • Base Plate Kit and Flat Tow 2018 Ford Edge Sport with Adaptive Cruise Control & Shutters
    Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with removable arms, # BX2673 is a confirmed fit for the 2018 Ford Edge Sport equipped with adaptive cruise control and shutters, but not the 2.0L EcoBoost. To flat tow your 2018 Ford Edge Sport in addition to the base plate kit # BX2673, you will need some wiring items. I suggest the Blue Ox Tow Bar Wiring Kit with 4 Diodes, # BX8848. This connects your RV's tail, brake and turn signal lights to Ford Edge lighting system. The diodes prevent electrical...

  • Compatibility of Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar with Blue Ox Base Plates on 2016 Lincoln MKX
    The Blue Ox base plate kit, part # BX2673 is a fit for a 2016 Lincoln MKX with or without the EcoBoost engine. If you use the Roadmaster to Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter, part # RM-031, you could indeed use your Falcon 2 tow bar with the Blue Ox # BX2673 base plates. If you don't already have them, you'll also need safety cables like # RM-643, a lighting solution like the Roadmaster Magnetic Mount Towing Lights, part # RM-2120 and a supplemental braking system like the Stay-IN-Play DUO #...
