Setting up these invisible base plates for use with your etrailer tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle , your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.
Using the etrailer invisible base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.
Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.
If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. etrailer offers adapters for use with other tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

Get a clean, factory look for your car when it's not being towed by using these invisible base plates. Tabs remain on tow bar arms and easily secure to base plate receivers with a quick turn. Simple, bolt-on installation with included hardware.Trailer invisible base plate was very easy to install even for a 72 year old man great product works as it should
The finished product looks great, it took a lot longer to install than the video but I am happy with the result. The instructions for cutting the holes didn't work well and I had to increase the holes and move them over as they didn't fully line up. I also had to make a relief cut to help the part that the bracket hit. Also make sure you put on the metal plate that holds the plastic shield on prior to putting the bumper on and tightening the tow bar down. Aligning the holes is "fun".... after 4 times taking the bumper off it all worked. Getting the plastic rivets on the underside back on requires the use of many "Special" words.... But it looks great after, and I am looking forward to using it.
Looks great and very sturdy! Assembly was a we bit more difficult that the guy in the video showed it would be... The stud holes in the base plate didn't quite line-up with the holes in the bumper support. About 45 minutes of dremmel and round file remedied that. The package included a mount for a wiring mount, but no mention in the instructions of how to assemble it...
Was in a car accident and this peduct was the only thing that still looked in tact on the front of our jeep, purchased a new jeep and also purchased the same base plate!
Perfect fitment, easy installation.
Looks great!
Took me less than 2hrs complete, hardest part was getting the wire connector for the fog lamps to disconnect.
Easy to install and looks good. Very functional and easy to use. It is a welcome transition from using a tow dolly.
Nice solidly built baseplate. Installation went very easy, took a couple hours. No modifications, other than cutting the plastic air dam. Highly recommend watching the etrailer installation video that with the instructions hard to follow.
I just got delivery on 8/21 and I finished installation 0n 8/22. Delivery of the base plate was way late and I had to change plans because of UPS. etrailer was very good about the problem and did all they could to rectify the problems that I had with the UPS delivery.
The base plate fit perfectly and was fairly easy to install. The instruction sheet could be better but the videos available explained a lot that the instructions did not.
Had looked at other ones So glad we went through E trailer Much easier to install. My advice would be don't follow the temp plates in the directions. Your better off measuring it yourself.
Worked out great. Just took a little pa geant
Works great. Easy install, did it myself in the driveway with detailed instructions supplied.
This was to be delivered on Dec 12. When it didn't arrive this company immediately sent another one out. Very professional!!!
Instructions not good. I am able to do anything!! But not with these insturctions. Will fininsh tomorrow maybe. Ask again then.
Even though the box was damaged in transport, all parts were there and none were damaged due to the good packing that was done!
Everything about this transaction has been excellent. Package was very well executed. Base plate looks amazing and very well built. Thanks Justin for your assistance.
This base plate went on without any modifications. Very pleased with the outcome.
Pretty easy install will see how it works this weekend
Nice product
Good instructions
Looked great when installed
Best products. Best customer service. Best prices.
I tell people all the time on Facebook how awesome etrailer is, your go to place looking for base plates, trailer items wiring you name it and they came through again and this time in a very timely manner, my second base plate to be installed on my new to me Jeep thank you etrailer
I did self-installation and when completed it works perfectly.
Easy install. Works great.
Something very important to me is communication. etrailer hands down is the best company I've ever delt with that communicates with their customers during the entire process. I continue to use them over numerous other companies due to this, their fast shipping, and resources (e.g. how to install, customers pictures, etc.). etrailer is my first choice for anything relating to RV's, trailers, etc.
Great base plate, well made, easy to in stall.
Looks great after installed professionally about six months ago. Jeep was delivered late so I actually had the base plate prior to owning this vehicle.
