Specs:
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.

We towed our Cherokee the very next day to Arizona from California. Everything worked perfect.
Great product. Easy install. Going to use to tow Jeep behind our RV.
I just got home from work, I opened up the packing and gave it a quick look. I’ll get more info tomorrow or Sunday thanks

The base plate has preformed flawlessly, we towed our Jeep Cherokee about 11,500 miles during a 5 month trip we experienced one Emergency Stop without a problem.
Received the tow bar and base plate 2 days prior to the estimated arrival date! The products look great! Michelle was amazing and walked me through the process answering all my question accurately! Will definitely be doing business with these folks for my next purchase.
Thanks, Jim
Well built and easy to install
Received order on schedule and heavy tow bar base plate was very well packaged.
The base plate delivery came quick & looks good. Installed it myself it was not to hard to install, took good portion of the day.
2001 Jeep Cherokee. Product arrived quickly, fit and install were good and easy. Has seen many miles of excellent service.

As with all Blue Ox product I have purchased over the last 12 years this is a quality piece of equipment. Also, etrailer.com provided great service.

Products from etrailer are always great. I’m about to purchase another Base Plate.
Works well. Fits good. A little fiddle to put on due to disassembly needed and chance of rusted bolts on midwestern vehicle. Need to cut holes in front lower facia area.
Fit perfectly. Very stout unit, very happy with it.
received in timely fashion
All good
The size of the box terrified me but I had to do this one myself.
This project is not for the faint of heart. When you think about what could go wrong you could wet yourself. I went with my gut and just opened the box. Hmmm, packaged very well with everything you need for the install. No going to the hardware store for this or that. Sat there with a cold sarsaparilla and read the very detailed instructions, went back to the etrailer web site and checked out some vids and pics. Hmm, it didn’t seem that daunting of a job. On my 04 Lexus GX470 most of the holes were drilled. Before I knew it 5 hours had past and I owned a toad! I took it to my local Rv service center for an inspection and it was deemed safe to use.
This thing is awesome, tracs straight as an arrow.
Now, I have to figure out this diode lighting kit. Camping is fun! Yah!!! :) Noah and etrailer made this a tolerable project. I urge everyone to take advantage of the resources that are on this sight. I always learn something when I’m there. See y’all on the trail….Rod
Well, I'm glad I'm good with tools, grinders, drills, and such. It was not just bolt-on dal. The car grill was able to be used any longer as it was too tight of a fit. Some of the lower fascia had to be trimmed and also removed OEM nuts from the front, the angle wouldn't allow the stock nuts to work. But in the end, I got to work out. So prepare to spend around 4-6 hours playing with it to get it to work. I am positive it's going to work as intended.
