Expert Answers about Ford Base Plates


  • Base Plate & Tow Bar For 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • I checked with our manufacturers and there is one base plate that fits a 2018 Toyota 4Runner, the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # 1185-1. Your 4Runner must have tow hooks, and the base plate won't fit Limited or Nightshade Special Edition models, or models with Kinetic Dynamic Suspension. An accompanying tow bar that will work with these base plates is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plates # e44ZR.

  • Base Plate Kit Recommendation for 2020 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara to be Used with ReadyBrute
  • Hey David, the only base plate brand we offer that can be used with a ReadyBrute Elite tow bar is Blue Ox and it requires the adapter part # BX88297. So for a base plate kit that fits your 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara you would want the part # BX1139. Blue Ox base plate kits are my favorite as we have found they are the easiest to use and extremely high quality. I wouldn't say this affects ground clearance any more than a Roadmaster setup.

  • How to Fit 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata Roadmaster Base Plate Kit with Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • Hey Glenn, thanks for reaching out! The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit # 52728-1 that fits your 2010 Mazda MX-5 Miata won't be compatible with the Blue Ox Base Plate tab you have. Since it sounds like you already have a Blue Ox tow bar, I recommend picking up the Roadmaster Base Plate Adapter Bracket # RM-032 so you can then use your existing tow bar with the Roadmaster base plate kit.

  • Is There a Winch Plate Compatible With The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5?
  • Roadmaster does not offer any type of winch plate compatible with their Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5. Your best option may be to switch to the factory style winch bumper so you can have the winch mounted on the bumper as front receivers use the same mounting points as the base plate so they will not fit together.

  • Base Plate Kit Fitment for a 2024 Chev Trailblazer
  • Hey Gene, thanks for reaching out! Currently there is only one base plate kit that fits your 2024 Chev Trailblazer: - Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM49YV If you're needing to pair this with a Blue Ox tow bar then you can do so with the Adapter Kit # DM9523127. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just...

  • Is there a flat towing base plate that will work with this grille guard installed on a 2019 Jeep Wra
  • No, I am sorry as there isn't a base plate that I can guarantee would also fit with this grille guard. Often they will be using the same space or attach in the same places. What type of bumper does your Jeep have? I am happy to recommend a base plate for you.

  • Do All 2023 Jeep Wrangler Base Plate Kits Come with Plugs for When Pins Are Removed
  • I definitely think that all base plate kits should come with plugs for when the vehicle isn't being flat towed, but this looks to be a hit and miss kind of thing, and the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521453-5 you were looking at for your 2023 Jeep Wrangler doesn't come with the plugs. You'll have to get them separately in the Kit # RM-210. We do have our kit, the etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948, that fits your 2023 Wrangler and it comes with plugs but if you...

  • Is there a Base Plate for a 1962 Chevy Pickup?
  • No, there are no custom fit base plates for a truck that old. The only thing I can offer you is the Blue Ox Heavy-Duty Universal Bolt-On Adapter Tabs item # BX88266. These are compatible with Blue Ox tow bars and are a universal part. They bolt directly into the bumper which will likely require additional support to be added as well.

  • Thanks for reaching out, Dan! The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e86YR will fit perfectly fine with the Tremor skid plate on your 2022 Ford F-150. The base plate will take the place of your tow hooks and while the Tremor package looks a little different, the tow hook locations are the same so you're good to go!

  • Looking for winch bumper for 2018 jeep wrangler unlimited jk sport with base plate installed.
  • David, I was not sure if you are looking for a front or rear winch bumper for your Jeep. Since you have the base plate installed, it would be difficult to add a bumper to work with both the base plate and winch. For a rear application there are more options. If the Jeep does not have a hitch installed you can add part # 42-3015 the Westin Trailblazer Rear Bumper w/ 2" Hitch Receiver for Jeep. And then use a winch mounting plate like part # BDW20011 the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch...

  • Comparing Blue Ox And etrailer Baseplates For A 2023 Jeep Gladiator
  • Hi Dave, The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 and Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU53FR are designed slightly different, but both are compatible fits for your 2023 Jeep Gladiator. The # e98948 is going to be an easier installation since you won't have to cut into the frame rails and shows as a compatible fit with Blue Ox tow bars without the need for an adapter.

  • Is Roadmaster BasePlates Stronger Than Etrailer Baseplates For 2023 Gladiator?
  • You are not overthinking this at all. The etrailer Invisible Base Plate Kit # e98948 actually has a built-in crossmember bar that strengthens it, while the Roadmaster one does not, which is why it needs more bolts to connect it to the vehicle's frame. Both baseplates are confirmed to fit your 2023 Gladiator and you won't need to worry about either one not being strong enough.

  • What Base Plates Are Going to Fit a 2021 Chevrolet Equinox With Active Shutters?
  • While we do have some kits like the Curt # C28FR, Demco # DM9519332 and our etrailer # e98965 base plates that say they fit with the active shutters on your 2021 Chevrolet Equinox. You must remove the shutter for them to fit.

  • Can Demco Base Plate Kit Act As Recovery Point for 2023 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
  • Even if it could act as a recovery point, the Demco # DM9519338 does not fit the Trailhawk. I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-521451-5 instead assuming you don't have active air shutters. None of the base plate kits that fit can be used as a recovery point. All of them require removing the front tow hooks. I do not have information on where you could relocate a hook for recovery so I recommend talking to the Jeep dealer or a mechanic to find a solution to mount...

  • Base Plate Kit Fitment for a 1994 Chevy 1500 Blazer
  • Hey Fred, thanks for reaching out! The correct base plate kit for your 1994 Chevy 1500 Blazer depends on the distance between the mounting holes on the bottom and side of your frame. I'm attaching a photo showing what I'm talking about, and you can use that to determine which of these is the correct fit: - 1-1/4" # 131-3 - 3" # 131-8 For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly...

  • Will The Demco Base Plate Fit a 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2?
  • I verified with Demco their Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM27YV will fit on the 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2. They did say the particular one they fit it on did not have the chassis camera option but I do not see how the cameras would affect the fit as the camera sits near the center of the chassis and the base plates are spread out.
