Specs:
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.
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.
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.
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.

( No ones fault just bad timing). I’ll have the parts installed soon and looking forward to trying them out!! Thanks e-trailer!!
Good fit, works well. Install not hard but requires some skill and automotive repair experience. Biggest fault is the surface prep before powder coating was awful. Coating flaked off allowing rust after 1-2 months. Had to remove, blast/paint and reinstall.
It will be installed in a week but fast shipping as always will continue ordering from e trailers
Excellent customer service! Equipment is always what I expect! And it was delivered right on time
Brittany did a great job. Thanks.

Great, It held up when we lost our road receiver. Kept car in tow
The baseplate has been in use for approximately one year and has operated flawlessly. I found that it was easy to install on my F-150 and I would purchase it again.
Well built, easy to connect & disconnect by myself.
I am glad I spent a little more for a high quality product!
Only reason for not being 5 star was the wait for the part which is common these days. Item shipped fine and all parts were in the box and installed perfectly. Very happy with quality of this base plate.
I ordered several items to rebuild a boat trailer from Etrailer. All items arrived on time or early. The parts were as advertised and in good condition. I was unfamiliat with Etrailer and had no trouble ordering on their very well done intuitive website.
I highly recommend Etrailer to others.
