We offer both Blue Ox and Roadmaster brands of base plates for your 2014 Nissan Versa that can be seen on the linked page. Both feature removable arms which lets your car keep more of its normal appearance when you're not flat towing it. It is always a good idea to check your owner's manual for guidance related to flat towing; some cars can require special preparation steps or even modifications to allow them to be flat towed.

The linked article on flat towing may be of value to you as this details each of the different components required for safe and legal flat towing. These items include the base plates, safety cables, tow bar, lighting/wiring solution and supplementary braking system.

For base plates I recommend Blue Ox # BX1846. A popular tow bar for use with your car is the
Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 which includes safety cables. For a lighting solution you can use Roadmaster Bulb Kit # RM-155 and for a braking system the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.
