Expert Reply:

The only Blue Ox base plate we have for the 2008 Toyota Matrix is the item # BX3759. It fits the XR and XRS models. The price of the baseplate can be found on the top right side of the product page.

Here are some other parts you will need to flat tow your Matrix:

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # BLU37TR

High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
