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.924978

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.1487696

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.1754914

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!!1768966

I will order from etrailer again, I'm sure1508701

easy to install on the truck frame and the removable arms help hide the base plate.1705487

Towed our jeep 3,000 miles and this baseplate fit and worked very well.1389363

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.

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.1625873

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 500.1318398

Good service and bang on timely delivery, thanks1774116

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. 643824

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.1632809

Fast delivery and great price. Replaced an old Roadmaster baseplate (which was a shin-getter) for my Saturn Vue, with a Demco baseplate. Fits perfect! New baseplate is barely exposed to my shins. Directions were very clear, and I installed it in about 2 hours. It even came with the thread lock required. etrailer communicated every step of my shipment, even following up after delivery.1172659

I installed this base plate on my 2006 z71 crew cab 1500. It works perfectly to flat tow our truck anywhere we want to go.1621857

One year follow up....

The Demco unit is a solid base plate overall. Basemount mounting holes are slightly off compared to the frame which made installation slightly difficult, however, not too difficult to rectify. Unit works well with just over 3000 miles in the past year.1461982

I am very pleased with this base plate , it installed with very little effort . The only issue I had was that it was delivered to the wrong address . The shipping label was for another address and with much effort we found it .
But with that I will still purchase from etrailer in the future .1262189

Played "It is in stock but backordered" inventory games with my local RV shop till I finally gave up and ordered from etrailer. Got my shipping information immediately, no games. Love etrailer.1623064
