Hi Craig; when I reached out to Blue Ox they said the trim and frame doesn't allow their # BX3780 to fit on the S. I have my doubts about the frame difference but it is pretty standard for the trim to be the issue. More than likely if you tried to install it you would have to cut up the front fascia in a way that would look terrible.

Sticking with the Demco # DM9517213 is your best option. I'm assuming you're using a Blue Ox tow bar so you will also need the Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter Brackets for Demco Classic Base Plates # DM9523034.

Do you have the rest of the parts picked out already for your setup?
