Simple, Invisible Design

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.


Easy Hookup and Disconnect

Demco Base Plate Tabless Hookup

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.


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

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.

Excellent service on a timely delivery. The box was torn apart but all the parts were inside. I’m sure it didn’t get shipped that way but damaged by the carrier.

Super simple install and stealthy look once installed. This looks way better than any other baseplate on the market. A+



by:

Only bad thing was cutting the plastic underneath to fit.

Everything fit perfectly

Very easy to hook up and excellent towi ng.



by:

Had to have it drop shiped at our campground. Lucky i had the tools with me to install. For the most part it was pretty straightforward,but the passenger side bracket had about a half inch gap so i had to leave the lockwasher out so that i had enough threads to get the bolt to start. Once it was started it pulled up tight. I give it 4 stars due to the two tab nuts not being long enough. If the tabs were an inch longer you could actually hold it in place and it would install much easier. Cant thank etrailer enough for doing everything they could to help me get back on the road 1100 miles from home.



by:

Nice product. Not as heavy duty as my previous road master baseplate but I’m sure it will hold up just fine. Fitment a little off. Took a little effort to get two bolt holes aligned but they went in. The backer nuts that go inside the frame are a little tricky to hold. Especially on passenger side. Again just have to be patient. I used a step drill for 1/2” holes through the frame. Worked great. From start to finish. 2.5 hours I have all the proper tools. If you are not a decent mechanic, it could take you much longer. Watch the video. Take your time



by:

Easy installation, quick unhook and hookup. A much cleaner installation.

Easy quick connect and disconnect, easy to install



by:
2015 Jeep Wrangler

The installation information is seriously lacking! It does not identify the Manufacture's name, the instructions are so bad...the only possible way to get a full understanding was to watch an on line video...not the easiest way when the jeep is outside , not in my house! Other than that little [hiccup], it's great.



by:

A bit of wrestling to install, but easily accomplished with hand tools. Worth the half day to install it over to 1000 dollars labor to have it installed. Fits up nice and tight under bumper, minimal impact on approach angle. A good balance of good for towing and still off-road friendly.



by:

We tow the Wrangler behind our 36' Monaco. Easy setup, confident towing, and easy disconnect. Highly recommend.



by:

Took some manufacturing as I had a custom bumper but the company who installed it was able to figure it out and it pulls perfectly behind my class A on my jeep



by:

As ordered. Easy instructions. Fast del ivery



by:

Made to last and easy to install. Just follow the instructions
