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.

I think it sucks that you wouldn't honor the $xxx price drop 1 day after l received my order.
The item itself was very very good.
1 star for your company; 5 stars for product
This model worked perfectly for my 21 equinox. Timely shipped and was able to have a local truck accessory shop install it a very reasonable price.
Good product Installation instructions and the video greatly helped with the installation. Working by myself I blocked the base plate as close to the position as possible and then installed ratchet straps to both sides and raised the base plate into position. Wiring kit was everything needed and worked great. Base plate and wiring kit was on a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox
Well informed, talk me through what was needed. Shipped and received timely.
Always a good experience dealing with etrailer, product fit good and the video showing installation was excellent and a big help.
Fit well no issues
I got the part I ordered and it was as advertised. The personel were knowledgeable and courteous.
This baseplate was easy to install on my 2019 Chevy Equinox and has provided excellent towing service during the full year since installed. I’m quite happy with the product and the installation instructions and videos provided by etrailer!

Product working out well
I like my base plant good proutduck
What I like about the tow package is how well it hides itself in front of the toad Equinox and connection to the towbar of the motor home easy and quick. I did the installation myself and found it to be pretty straight forward with only a couple of bad photos that had bad angles and vague descriptions that should be made better. The mount also came with a couple of safety cables that seemed unnecessary but better to have and not need security. I was looking for the best concealed and secure product available at a fair price and found it here at etrailer.com
This unit is the second vehicle I installed a Blue Ox Base Plate. Easy instructions and video helped with the installation. Connection to the motor home Blue Ox tow bar is quick and easy. Removable arms are a must-keeping me from hitting legs when walking in front of vehicle. Would recommend this unit.
Works well
Well satisfied with the base plate, it fit perfectly and towed the car 2200 miles. There was more work taking the front of the caroff than mounting the face plate. Good Product.
Fit well and works well. We have been towing our Equinox all over the country.
All parts of the assembly came as promised and the instructions for installation were clear and the installation, with two people, was easy for someone with experience working with tools on cars.
The baseplate fit perfectly and was fairly easy to install. What really helps are the videos that this company provides. I wouldn't even attempt an install without them. Saved a bunch of money and I know it is done right.
QUICK, FAST AND EASY TO DEAL WITH!!
Product was received as ordered. The total process was very easy and user friendly. I will be placing the baseplate on a 2020 Chevrolet Equinox. Have not installed yet. Thanks
Fairly easy installation and appreciate the easy to follow instructions . After one year, no problems and we’ve used it often until Covid-19 it, but we are comfortable using it for a long time in the future.
This was exactly the part I needed to prep a customer's 2022 Equinox for towing with a Blue Ox Hitch. erailer provided the consultation and support we needed to get the job done.
towed my car 2000 miles last year had no problems great base plate.
I Installed it with the help of a friend. Also the video that you provided was great help in making an easy installation.
Easy to install and the installation videos were spot on

Yeah, I think it's a bummer as well. But we no longer support price matches after the initial purchase.
