The crossbar-style hidden brackets attach to your vehicle's frame to provide attachment points for your tow bar. The visible portions of the brackets can be removed when you are not towing.
Features:
The square drawbars, or front arms, on the crossbar-style base plate kit are simple to mount and remove, easily securing with hitch pins. Once the drawbars have been removed, the remaining brackets are virtually invisible. On most automobiles, the brackets are mounted within the grille, where they remain not only unseen, but protected from scrapes and scuffs as well.

Very rugged kit with excellent instructions. A DIYer with medium mechanical skills can install. Involved removing the front bumper which was not difficult. Value for the price is very good. As always, etrailer support was also very good.
Easy to install and has worked great since installing. Would recommend to anyone with a Colorado or any other vehicle.
Thank you All at etrailer.
Once again you All have out done yourselves, which is big job. Due to the fact you always do a great job.
Well there was one time, when an item was shipped from the manf. But even then you sent a reimbursement for a portion of the labor cost it took to make the hitch fit a Classic 1981 El Camino.
Even in this difficult time of covid, your still doing your best.

Just fine
I ordered a Falcon II tow bar, Base plate for a GMC Canyon, Demco Stay-n-play braking system and safety cables. worked exactly as it should, directions were easy to follow. All hardware was included. This system allowed us to tow our Canyon 10K miles around the country. super easy to use and I was able to connect and disconnect in less than 5 min. I liked the system enough that I bought the same setup for our new vehicle.
Adam was awesome to talk with on the phone , went through step by step on what I needed and what I didn't for what I was wanting to do.
Our items were promptly shipped and received with no problem, other than the UPS gal struggled with the weight of the base plate. Thanks!
i was surprisingly impressed with how easy and simple the installation of the base plate and wiring was. i installed this on a customers vehicle and will use your products again.
Towing adapter for Chev Colorado And trailer hitch Both videos EX !!! :-)
Excellant service all the way around. I was informed as to what I needed, they checked what was in stock and had my order to me in 2 business days. Their care and commitment to seeing the process thru was outstanding. I would highly recommend etrailer.com.

Ok not had 1 problem great product
Awesome service. Installing it this wee kend.....
Excellent support and service.
etrailer service is and has always been stellar. My order was correct and was delivered very quickly. The only reason I made this a four instead of a five was that the rear bolt position of both base plate brackets where welded on crooked. Each small plate was at a different angle from each other. In my opinion whoever welded them wasn’t paying attention to quality control. Because I was on a time crunch for my departure on a trip and could not wait for replacements (and I needed the vehicle for local driving) I made the brackets work. Other than that the installation went smoothly and I was able to test tow my 2004 CRV a couple of times without incident.
Very impressed that they're the exact fabbed fit, and easy to install! These tow base plates are super sturdy!
Item arrived earlier than predicted after viewing a very complete tracking system. The information was very clear and precise. Good job! I am 75 years of age and installed the baseplate myself. Only a couple of minor issues. One pin would not insert. Welding blob in the way. Filed it smooth and problem solved. The video was excellent but was a bit different in that it showed a different method o rear bolt installation, however the instructions on paper showed the correct way. Reinstalling the front clip had presented some difficulty. I suggest really watching the inner fender position relative to the front clip before removal. All said all went well. The finished look is great, (see pictures). Great product!
Just completed a 6600 mile rod trip, towing the Subaru behind a motor home.
Worked great.
I've towed with it many times and Zero problems. I did find that moving the car slightly forward after stopping helps relax tension amd.make.disconnect much easier. Overall... I'd say SUPER..!!
