Question:

I have the patriot system I move from vehicle to vehicle. I am now looking for a base plate for my 2018 Chevy Colorado 4 x 4. I’ll wait for your reply. Thank you

Expert Reply:

The Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR is a universal fit, only requiring an powered outlet # RM-9332 to function so it wouldn't have any compatibility issues with the baseplate. Since you already have some towing equipment I would want to recommend a compatible baseplate to the tow bar you already have so that you aren't having to purchase an adapter as well.

If you have a Roadmaster tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523182-5. For a Blue Ox tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU93FR. For a Demco tow bar I recommend the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519319. .

if you don't have a tow bar yet then you can choose whichever baseplate you want and then a compatible tow bar. If you need help picking out any other components for your Colorado then please let me know and I'd be happy to help.
