Specs:
This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.
Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.
Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.
There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.
The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

A one-year update on the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit: Since installing the base plate last year, we have towed the Canyon Denali approximately 20k miles. Obviously, we have connected/disconnected the truck many times. There have been absolutely no issues with the setup - very easy connect and easy disconnect. And the truck tows like a dream! I am very pleased with the setup and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting a superior towing system.
The base plate was a fairly easy install especially with all of the information available on my 2021 GMC Canyon Denali. After about 6000 miles of being towed I am very happy with base plate & mostly hidden installation.
Put about 1,500 miles on these towing a 2022 GMC Canyon with no issues. Very easy to hook up the truck.
Easy to install and when not in use, it’s not very noticeable. Suggest the tork settings should be more clearly addressed for the less technical of us. Thank
Every thing was fine with what I purchased thanks Everett
Hitch parts were great, the wiring kit was really cheap. Didn't use much of that light kit it all.
Blue Ox products work well and last a long time!
Great quality built. Easy to install.
Easy to install and there was no drilling. Needed a little help from my son to get the front of vehicle off and back on as my arms aren’t long enough to do both sides.
Great product! Have towed my truck several times with the motorhome and it was great. Easy setup and take down. Would recommend it to all who have to tow a vehicle.
Installed by myself. Instructions were easy to unnderstand the installation went well.
I have use your product on a previous vehicle and have had good results. I am now purchasing a new kit for a new vehicle but have not applied it yet. I ordered the new equipment a month and a half ago and was not charged for it until it was sent to me. I believe your business procedure is excellent and the product is also excellent.
Package was delivered 2 days later than stated but was not a problem. Hopefully I have everything I need. Quick and easy ordering. Employee seems to be well informed about what is needed.
