  • Can 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Curt Base Plate Kit be Towed with Other Brand Tow Bar
  • In general you have to match the brand of the tow bar with the brand of the base plate kit but there are adapters that allow some flexibility between brands but in your situation where you have a Curt base plate kit installed on your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with # C58FR you can use a Blue Ox base plate kit like the # BX7420 since Blue Ox and Curt are made the same company.

  • Base Plates for 1996 Suzuki Sidekick 2-Door 4X4 SUV
  • For the U.S. model Sidekick we offer base plates from Roadmaster and Blue Ox that you can view by clicking on the link provided.

This avoids the cost and complexity of added adapters that are needed to join one brand of tow bar to another brand of base plate. The Roadmaster XL Base Plate kit # 1422-1 fits versions of the Jeep Liberty for model years 2002 through 2005. It does not fit any other Jeep vehicles...

  • Availability of Base Plates to Flat Tow a Buick LaCrosse CXL Front Drive
  • I do have a solution for you, however, I would not recommend the Blue Ox Bolt-On Base Plate, # BX88230. Although the this Blue Ox base plate is an universal fit and more cost efficient than the vehicle specific base plates, the labor time and cost that will be associated with installation will in the end not save you as much as you may think.

  • What Base Plates Will Fit a 2004 Saturn Vue Redline Edition
  • We do have a set of base plates for the 2004 Saturn Vue Redline but the Roadmaster base plates will not fit a 2004 model. You can use the Blue Ox base plates, # BX3321.

  • Availability of Base Plates to Flat Tow 2000 GMC Jimmy 4WD
  • If your Jimmy is not the Xtreme or Black Diamond model, we offer two Roadmaster base plate kits that are compatible with 4WD Jimmy models. From all the information I could find online, your Jimmy is capable of being flat towed if it has the NP-236 transfer case, but I would recommend you confirm this for yourself by checking your owner's manual and with your GMC dealer.
