Tab Covers
When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.
Tow Bar Adapters
If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's 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.

Demco is a great product. This is the third baseplate we have purchased for different vehicles. All have fit perfectly. It took me 1.5 hours to install this one on our Fiat 500.

Great fit and easy install. The only problems I encountered were the doggone Fiat fit and finish ... took longer to reinstall the pieces I had to remove to install the baseplate.
Have Roadmaster installed on both cars, and both track well behind the motorhomes. Always recommend.

Quick on shipping. Thank You!
Installed on a 2013 Fiat Sport. Everything was smooth till I tried to put it back together. I just couldn't get the bottom to line up. After troubleshooting.....found out the edge of the Fog light assembly was preventing the front from seating properly on the bottom. Had to cut some of the fog light assembly. Seems like a design flaw. So it took me a bit longer to complete.
Also...concerned about the covers for the connections to the tow bar. I know sometime they are going to fall off.

Would have given a 5 star but had to remove my fog lights to put front cowl. Back on, would not fit with fog lights in place

I recommend trimming the fog light mounts on each side of the of the lower grill opening before attaching the front fascia back into place.

Well made product. Nice fit after minor bumper trim. Installation went well. Instructions were easy to follow. Looks good on the car

The base plates fit nicely but the covers are a poor fit. It would make sense to me that the covers covered the whole base plate.
Thanks, Randy

Unit works well on my 2001 Nissan frontier, have towed the truck a few times with no problems, good investment.
by: Smitty12/19/2020
Received on time and installed as directed. I'm 78 and only had one problem, that of having to bend down a tab on the vehicle frame. Had to go buy a punch. However, the left base plate front holes for the tow bar attaching pin was not in alignment. The pin would not go through. Contacted etrailer and received a replacement in no time. Removed the bad one and reinstalled the new one. Then took the vehicle to my hitch guy for brake wiring. He double checked my work and said everything was in great order and a good fit. With the virus lockdown, I have not towed other than home from getting the brakes set up. But that worked ok.

The quality of this base plate is very good. On my 1990 Cherokee the spacing of the 1/2" bolt holes required me to enlarge the holes for proper fit. The instructions are shamefully poor quality as are the installation photos in the instructions. Demco needs to improve.

Etrailer has proven to be the best place to purchase all my towing needs! They sent my first order very quickly. I decided to do a second order for another vehicle and again perfect service and top quality parts! The communication is A++++ and I highly recommend Etrailer.

Received shipment fast. I ordered the wrong adapters and call customer service right after delivery. Got excellent service from Brittany ordered the right adapter, got a return label while on the phone to my email. Installed the demco base plates with a few problems. Fit was tight but nothing a small mallet couldn't handle. They do mention in instructions that you may need to elongate one of the holes. Mine was for a 2016 GMC 2500. Definitely need to make hole bigger on the truck frame. I would do it before inserting the baseplate. Otherwise great product good tight fit.
by: Doug 04/18/2024
It took closer to 5 hours by myself!! Actually fairly simple install. If I had another one to do now it would probably take 3 hours. Some of the bolts were a pain with my large hands. It only pokes out a little. Very happy with this hitch!!
by: Michael W01/27/2023
Very high quality.
Very quick delivery.
Very good customer service.
I will order from etrailer again, I'm sure

Towed our jeep 3,000 miles and this baseplate fit and worked very well.
by: Marcus08/28/2019
Great service - ordered Sunday night, delivered Wednesday lunch time, installed Wednesday afternoon. Excellent information, instructions - took about 4 hours, had to file 2 bolt holes a slight bit, but the fit was very good.
I am very happy with the baseplate and would recommend it to anyone.
Before and after pictures attached.

easy to install on the truck frame and the removable arms help hide the base plate.

Super Service and parts fit perfectly.
Very good quality.
by: Vincent 07/18/2023
These base plates are AWESOME! They were very easy to install on my 2013 Ram 2500. I just removed the shackles that were there, and the base plates aligned to the existing holes perfectly. Connecting to the tow bar behind my RV was a simple and easy task. Make sure you use the Loc-tite that comes with the base plates on the new bolts. This will ensure you have a good strong tight bond. The plastic covers that come with the base plates are a good fit too. The only come off if you pull them off, plus they protect your knees if you happen to bump into the base plates by accident. This is an awesome product, I highly recommend.

After reviewing the top name brands for tow bars I was really exited first with Roadmaster's pin style base plate connectors, but when I realized that it would require cutting and possibly drilling I took a second look and decided to install the Demco base plates and get the tow bar from them as well.
These plates can be installed in a mere 2 hours if you have all the tools ready to go. I have the fortunate luck that my truck is equipped with the air suspension and so lifting it to the highest setting and driving up on 12in ramps gave me ample amount of room to work under the front bumper area.
The installation is seriously easy and requires no special tools, other than a set of metric sockets and a torque wrench. The factory tow hooks are removed and these base plates fit in the exact same space without any cutting, not even the plastic cover behind the pumper needed to be removed (though for some odd reason the instructions did and I followed them on the driver side but when I realized that I could install the plate without this step, I omitted it on the passenger side). Despite my initial worry of wanting a nearly invisible look, these bars are remarkably clean looking.

Good service and bang on timely delivery, thanks

Received my H3 Hummer baseplates and towing lights diode kit. Haven't installed yet but when it's done I hope to submit pics.
Dealing with etrailer has always been nothing short of outstanding. Always rapid delivery of great parts and excellent prices. Thanks once again etrailer.

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Fiat 500To flat tow your 2013 Fiat 500 you need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. Please note that the online manual for your Fiat 500 states that you can only flat tow your vehicle if it has a manual transmission. I recommend checking this and any additional instructions in your copy of the owner's manual. The safety cables that I recommend using with the EZ2 Base Plate kit # 522013-1A and Falcon 2...

If you have a Pop or Sport model you would instead use # DM9518298. All of the compatible tow bars come with safety cables so you can use them or the ones you have; either way will be fine as long as you are using something. The most cost effective is the coupler style Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar # BX7322. You'll also need safety cables like # RM-643. But if you are going to be doing a lot of towing I strongly...
