Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.


Guide to Flat Towing

Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.


There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.


Towing Basics

The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

  • Will the Blue Ox Base Plate # BLU99FR Fit My 2023 Ram 1500 Rebel Diesel?
    Hello Pat, You were definitely look at the correct one. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU99FR (Blue Ox part number BX2417) will be a great fit for your 2023 Ram 1500 Rebel Diesel. We have to change the part number for our site as we carry for so many different manufacturers, we still include their part number on the product page under specs. Our wording on the page where it says "confirmed to fit" is a little confusing as well, I included an image of what it fits, this...

  • Can A Blue Ox Baseplate And Curt Front-Mounted Trailer Hitch Both Be Installed On A 2022 Ram 1500
    Hey Mike, Both the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU99FR and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C87FR would be fighting for the same space on the frame rail where the tow hooks sit so they would not be compatible together. There isn't another custom-fit hitch but you could go with a weld-on adjustable-fit trailer hitch and work with a local fabricator shop to get it sitting right and welded to the frame rails. We offer a few different drop lengths that you can use as a rise or drop...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Parts for a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn
    The correct Blue Ox base plate for your 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn is going to be determined by which truck you have. 2019 was a split model year for the Ram 1500 where they produced two very different models. The 1500 Classic which is mechanically identical to the 2018 model and the 1500 Ram which is the all new model and the first model year of the 5th generation. I checked with Blue Ox, if you have the 1500 Classic you will want the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BLU74FR. If your...
