Features to know about

Seamless Vehicle Appearance: Invisible Base Plate Design

Imagine enjoying a clean, unobtrusive look on your vehicle's front end when it's not being towed. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit features a design that keeps bulky crossbars and brackets out of sight. This means you maintain your vehicle's sleek appearance while ensuring it's always ready for the road.

Hassle-Free Towing Experience: Quick Twist Lock Attachment

Demco Base Plate Tabless Hookup

Let's talk about convenience when hooking up and disconnecting your tow bar. With this base plate kit, you simply twist the insertion tabs to lock them in place securely. Thanks to this feature, attaching and removing your tow bar becomes an effortless process, even if you're handling it solo.

Adaptability for Your Tow Bar: Compatibility with Multiple Brands

Whether you're using an etrailer, Demco, or Blue Ox tow bar, this base plate kit has you covered without needing additional adapters. It integrates seamlessly with these brands, offering versatile compatibility that saves you from purchasing extra components. Part numbers like e98983 for Roadmaster tow bars (if needed) keep your options open without added expense.

Protection from Elements: Receiver Covers

There's nothing worse than fighting corrosion when it's time to tow. This kit includes high-density polyethylene covers to protect the receivers from dirt and debris. These receiver covers snap easily into place, preventing seizing and ensuring your setup remains operational over the long haul.

Flexibility for Various Tow Bars: Optional Adapters Available

If you have a tow bar from a different make, etrailer ensures that you have options with adaptable solutions. While most setups don't require an adapter, specific Roadmaster models might, and etrailer provides part numbers like e98987 so you can easily get what you need.

Trailer hitch accessory installation step-by-step with directional arrows

This feature may include visual guides or step-by-step illustrations that show how to install your base plate kit using directional arrows, ensuring a smooth and intuitive install experience.

See what our Experts say about this etrailer Tow Bar Base Plate

  • 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 There Trimming Required to Install etrailer Base Plate Kit # e96GV on 2025 Ford Maverick
    Hey Michael, the correct picture of the etrailer base plate kit part # e96GV is the first picture which closely resembles the Demco. I would agree this install requires the least amount of vehicle modification but there is some trimming required. Some of the air cooler wings do get trimmed which you can see in step 10 of the attached instructions.

  • Do You Have an Installation Video of etrailer or Demco Baseplates on a 2025 Maverick?
    Hey Gary. We have not made an installation video for either the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e96GV or Demco item # DM38CV. We do offer free installation on these parts if you let us install them and make a video that other RV owners can benefit from. If you're interested just let me know in the box that says Reply to Jerred H.

  • 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...

  • Does etrailer Base Plate Kit for 2025 Ford Maverick Lariat Require ACC Sensor
    Hey Michael, the install of the etrailer base plate kit part # e96GV does require moving the adaptive cruise control bracket in most situations. That is still true so it would be likely you'd need to move yours on a 25 Maverick Lariat.

  • Recommended Baseplate and Install Time for a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    Hey Bryan, welcome back. For a professional install the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e66GV takes right at 3 hours. For a DIY install closer to 6 hours depending on experience level and access to a lift. Most of the front end and some of the side trim has to be completely removed and reinstalled so it takes awhile to get all of those fasteners removed. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit item # e66GV is confirmed to fit the 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I attached a picture below...
