Simple, Tabless Design
Setting up these tabless base plates for use with your Demco tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. 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
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.

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!

I really like the way this base plate installed. Everything fit perfect and I like the look once it was completed. It's a snap to hook up with room for error. Our Jeep pulls like it's not even there.

Thanks for the great tow setup! with the videos it was a great install for my wife and I. Went on just as it should and looks super! Most people do not even see it on the Jeep.
Hookup to the motor home is super easy, with the demco tow bar, and hookups. Would recommend to anyone looking to tow, look to Demco!

2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee
The product itself is great. It fit fine and seems to be designed and built well.
Parts of the installation instructions are not correct for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit. The front fascia has a couple of additional connection points at the bottom and it also connects to the front fender "flares" differently than the instructions show. If you do not realize the differences, then you can definitely damage your front fascia.
by: Ray07/01/2020
Once we got thru the installation this Tow plate system has worked great. I like that it is fully hidden when not in use.

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.
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.

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.
by: Jerry J01/23/2021
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.

- Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2018 Jeep Grand CherokeeThe Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit item # DM9519291 you were looking at comes with everything you need to connect Demco, etrailer, and Blue Ox tow bars to. It is custom fit for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It fits all models including the Trackhawk and SRT-8. I am not sure what you mean by combo kits but there is no one option fits all for flat towing. You'll need to purchase multiple parts. I have listed the rest of the parts you will need to flat tow your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee below...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee OverlanderMost people have an opinion about which tow components are the best. In the case of your 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Outlander, I think that the Demco # DM9519291 Tabless Base Plate Kit would be best as it does not require drilling, and it can be matched to a Demco Tow Bar System with extras. If you have the SRT-8 option you will need to instead use the Demco # DM9519291. A Powerbuilt # ALL648544 trim popper will help get the fascia off during installation without tearing up the push pins. For...
view full answer... - Roadmaster Guardian Rock GuardThe # RM521440-5 Base Plate Kit is not recommended for the 2021 JGC Trailhawk model. You can use the Demco # DM9519291 kit or the Blue Ox # BX1128 to fit a Trailhawk, however these are not designed to work with the tow bar mounted rock guard. A good alternative would be the Rock Tamers # ERT00108 Adjustable Flap System. This fits over the 2" receiver that your tow bars connect to in the gap between the ball mount and the reciever.

I recommend whichever is more cost effective at the time. They are both directly compatible with most Blue Ox, etrailer, Demco, and Curt tow bars. In order to complete your setup you'll still need a few other items which I have attached for you below. Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring...

view full answer... - Parts to Flat Tow 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee That Cannot be Dolly TowedI took a look at the owner's manual for a 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it specified that the 4-wheel drive models cannot be dolly towed at all, and only 2-wheel drive models can be dolly towed if the rear wheels are off the ground. So your best option is definitely going to be flat towing your '13 Grand Cherokee, which is going to require a few parts, which I'll recommend for you: - Base Plate Kit: Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519291 - Tow Bar: Demco Commander II Non-Binding Tow Bar...

Then you can use the Demco Commander Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs # DM9511012 which has the included safety chains as well as the integrated adjustable head for proper fit. For your tow bar wiring I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 as well as the charge line kit # RM-156-25. This kit will allow you to utilize...
view full answer... - Can Blue Ox Tow Bar Connect to Demco Base Plate KitYes, there are adapters that will allow a Blue Ox tow bar to connect to a Demco base plate kit. For that you'd need the part # DM9523034 for if the base plate was a classic or a part # DM9523127 for if it's a tabless like the part # DM9519291 that you referenced.

If you are looking to accessorize your '19 Grand Cherokee the Aries Bull Bar # AAB35-1003 is a great option with its multiple functions.

This also works with the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar part # RM-676 directly so it would be a great solution as this is one of the nicest tow bars out there. This comes with safety cables and the Roadmaster lighting kit part # RM-15267 would be a really great option as well....

view full answer... - Does 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Need Base Plate to be Flat TowedYour 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee does require a base plate in order for you to flat tow it; the reason for this is because it gives you the most secure and stable connection to your motorhome and that the tow hooks are for recovery purposes and not intended to tow the vehicle. Most importantly this increases the safety of flat towing but it is also the best thing to do for your Jeep in terms of its chassis and suspension. I recommend checking out the "Recreational Towing" section of your owner's...
