Tow Bar Base Plate Specs:
Base Plate Features:
Designed for full size pickups and SUVs. Heavy duty frames of those vehicles eliminate the need for a crossbar, making installation of the tow bar easier. Removable drawbars make the baseplates virtually invisible when you're not towing the vehicle. MX base plates only work with tow bars that slide into a 2" trailer hitch.
Tech Tip:
Must measure holes on bottom and side of frame for correct bracket. This bracket requires 3" between holes. See diagram on bracket product page for locations of holes to be used.
