Simple, Tabless Design
Setting up these tabless base plates for use with your Demco tow bar is fast and easy. Just remove the attachment lugs from the ends of your tow bar arms and replace them with these tabs. Then you can just insert the tow bar arms into the base plate receivers to hook up. There's no need to remove the tabs from your tow bar, so you won't run the risk of misplacing tabs. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle , your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.
Easy Hookup and Disconnect
Using the Demco Tabless base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.
Receiver Covers
Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.
Tow Bar Adapters
If you have a Demco Kwik-Tow tow bar or a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other 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.

Perfect information from your customer service person made installation a breeze. This is what all customer service should be like!

Relatively easy to install, works great, less obtrusive than other brands. Instructions are clear, quality is good. Shown with knuckles removed. As you can see, I had to improvise to mount the coiled cord socket and breakaway switch.

Love it,my bumper wasn't rated for towing so I had to go this route. Pleased it fit fine with the aftermarket bumper.
by: Shawn P06/29/2023
This base plate is of exceptional value and construction. It was fairly easy to install on my 2008 Jeep Wrangler by myself but would have been quicker if I had an extra set of hands. Overall I am extremely happy with how the base plate looks and the customer service was above and beyond expectations. I would recommend the base plate and you don't have to look anywhere else than etrailers for what you need.

I purchased this as part of a package which included; Hitch and wiring for my 2022 Equinox, Base plate, Tow Bar, brake System and connecting air hose, break away cables, LED tow lights with wiring harness, and a trickle charger to keep the Equinox battery from going dead while I was towing it behind my class A RV.
I had etrailer do the install of all the components on my car and RV. All the workmanship was excellent and done in the amount of time they said it would take. Also because they did not have a video of this equipment being put on this year and model vehicle, I gave them permission to make a video(which added a extra day and a half to the install)and the installation was free. Everything has worked perfectly and I couldn't be happier. Etrailer is my go to for anything towing and also RV parts.

I recently completed a DIY installation of the Demco Tabless Base Plate on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Installation is fairly straightforward following the etrailer.com videos. A couple gotchas on the videos.
First, one of the videos suggests removing a sheet metal plate to provide easier access. While it does make for easier access during removal of the bumper, you should reinstall it BEFORE installing the base plate. If you install the baseplate first, there is insufficient clearance for the bolts that hold the sheet metal plate.
Second, the videos show reinstalling the plastic air dam after reinstalling the bumper. At least on my 2021 Wrangler there is NO way you could do that without seriously bending, and possibly breaking the plastic dam. Reattach the dam to the bumper BEFORE reattaching the bumper. Clearances for rebolting the bumper are sufficient. I did it without a lift (thank goodness for the Wrangler’s high ground clearance).
Bottom line is it’s a bit of a project but looks great.

Eady Order, Very Fast delivery. Will update after base plate installation
by: Doty10/06/2023
I can’t say enough good about how great etrailer customer service is! Our trip was nearly a complete disaster after having a tow plate added to my jeep. We had planned to tow the Jeep and drive back to Maryland from Texas. After hours on a Friday night we found that the connectors were missing but we had to get on the road anyway, so my son drove the RV with my granddaughter and I followed, driving the Jeep. We kept trying to reach the installer but it was the weekend so we rented a U-Haul. Once we were able to ride together, we called etrailer. The parts we needed were expedited to my son’s home and now we can proceed to my grandson’s soccer tournament without having to use the U-Haul! THANK YOU ETRAILER FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE and saving the family trip.

I have not installed my base plate yet, but the 5-Stars is for the service I have received from etrailer I was sent the wrong base plate which fit the factory plastic bumper mine is a steel bumper, but etrailer was great about the easy return and repurchase. Hard to find companies with such great customer service.
Will update this review after installation..
by: Michael04/01/2023
So far so good. Packages came intact. Everything unpacked and looks ready to go. I’ll keep you up to date on the installation. Thanks Jessica and team for keeping me up to date on the delivery.
by: Camille07/15/2022
Installation went well! The pictures in instructions are a bit hard to decipher! Using it in a few days. It is a replacement my last CR V 2003 was totalled in an accident had a Blue Ox before seems comparable!
by: Steven07/10/2022
I received the parts from etrailer much sooner than expected. They ship very fast.
Unfortunately some of the hardware was missing. The box arrived a little beat up. The bag the hardware came in was torn open. It seems that a few nuts and bolts were lost in transit. Since my shipment arrived on a Saturday, I did not wait until Monday to call for replacements. I went down to local HW store and bought what I needed. Fitment was excellent and installation went very smooth. I will continue to shop etrailer for all my towing needs.
by: Timmy04/11/2024
I've used this setup for a year towing a 2023 Jeep Wrangler . I 100% recommend it for anyone else. Under normal conditions it is very easy. Under stressful conditions (bad weather, uneven terrain, need to connect/disconnect quickly) it is a life saver.
I am 63 and I can connect/disconnect this in 5 minutes.
by: Mary08/14/2023
The video that etrailer had for the installation of this towbar was awesome. The only hitch was the brackets were mislabled (passenger and driver side were switched), but the video helped show how everything worked and how it should look. Goes very smooth with a helper!
by: Rod10/27/2023
Superb Customer Service and Communication!!!! Fast shipping...item delivered sooner than estimated. The baseplate seems very well constructed (as expected of Demco products).
entailer demonstrated its excellent reputation with this order.
Thank you!
by: Earl 04/05/2024
Works well if you can get your bumper bolts out ;-).
Otherwise, was easy to install and tows perfectly.
by: Ricky 07/18/2023
Very good baseplate and easy to install. You do have to trim the front bumper a bit (1/2” wide by 3/4” deep) on the bottom to put it back on. The only issue I had were the outside factory screws on the skid plate that comes with this base plate. The factory screws are too short and I had to go buy 2 replacement screws to fit.
Took about 2 hours to install. That included gathering needed tools and putting them up.
Have not towed with it yet, but that will happen soon!!
by: Mark02/11/2022
Unfortunately these base plates did not fit up to the front grill near as well as past ones I have purchased from you. A lot more cutting on my vehicle was required that should not have been needed. Also having to convert my towbar to less desirable Demco attachment was disappointing. I purchased Blue Ox for a reason and would have been much happier if Ox style pins were supplied to fit Demco sockets.
by: Matthew12/29/2022
Great product! Mostly easy installation.
by: John09/27/2020
As with all Demco products that I've purchased, this baseplate kit is extremely well engineered, expertly manufactured and work exactly as advertised. The installation instructions are easy to follow and understand. This is one worry free produce that will make our travels much more enjoyable.

It was easy to install, works great on the vehicle, and the hitching is very easy with this bass player.

This base plate kit fits all models of the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I have linked an installation video below. The Demco item # DM9519222 you referenced only fits Jeep Libertys.

view full answer... - Can a 2010 Jeep Liberty Renegade Be Flat-TowedThe 2010 Jeep Liberty could have came in either a four wheel drive or two wheel drive configuration. The four wheel drive models can be flat towed with all four wheels down whereas the two wheel drive models cannot. If you have a Renegade then you have four wheel drive so it can be flat-towed. If you take a look at page 406 of your owner's manual, this is explained for you. In order to flat tow the vehicle you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tail light wiring...

I've linked the installation instructions for you. Have you considered Roadmaster base plates, like # 521433-1? This is a less expensive option that we do have an installation video for that's linked below.

view full answer... - Recommended Base Plate Kit for 2011 Jeep Liberty 4x4 and Roadmaster Falcon II Tow BarFor your 2011 Jeep Liberty, you need base plates to connect to your Falcon II tow bar. For compatible base plates I recommend the Demco Tabless Base Plat Kit # DM9519222. This base plate will work well with your tow bar and will give you the easiest connections to your vehicle. The Blue Ox # BX1976 will fit your Jeep but you would then need adapters like # BX88151 or # RM-031 and not have the better connection. If you need other components to complete your flat towing package, let me know.
view full answer... - 2011 Jeep Liberty Base Plate Kit Recommendation To Fit With Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 Tow BarThe Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 Tow Bar # RM-422 has the quick-disconnects on the arms so I recommend using the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519222 along with the Adapters # e98983 so you can connect the tow bar directly up to the base plate kit. There is a Roadmaster base plate kit but it also requires an adapter for the arms on the BlackHawk 2 but the adapter from Roadmaster is much more bulky. Using the Demco kit with adapters retains that simple connection that the BlackHawk was designed...
view full answer... - How To Prevent Battery Drain on 2008 Jeep Liberty While Flat-TowedIn regards to flat-towing a 2008 Jeep Liberty, the battery must be disconnected to prevent drain per the owner's manual. In order to do this, I recommend using the Roadmaster Battery Disconnect part # RM-766 since it allows for this to be done with the flick of a switch, no tools needed and you can do it from inside the cab. Please note, there are specific steps you'll need to follow for setting up the vehicle to be flat-towed, you can find these starting on page 378 of the owner's manual....
