I wish we had a base plate kit that fit a 2005 Ford Ranger Edge without tow hooks but the only option we would have for you would be a tow dolly like the part # RM-2050-1.
Tow dollies have the advantage of being easily transferred to a different vehicle if needed, there's only a fraction of the install time needed with base plate kits and braking systems. The costs are pretty close too since the price of all the flat towing components adds up pretty quick.
