Custom designed to fit your vehicle so it can be safely towed behind your RV, this base plate has low-profile reinforcements, providing your vehicle with a streamlined look when you're not flat towing. Base plate bolts directly to your chassis.

Specs:
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.

Custom designed to fit your vehicle so it can be safely towed behind your RV, this base plate has low-profile reinforcements, providing your vehicle with a streamlined look when you're not flat towing. Base plate bolts directly to your chassis.This fit pretty well and was fairly easy to install. One of the nuts with the wire welded to it for feeding through the Jeep frame had issues with its threads, maybe from when the wire was welded to the nut. I had to use a tap to fix the threads. Also, I don't like the look of where the electrical plug is to attach. The base plate wouldn't be too noticeable if the two prongs were sticking out in the middle. I plan to just run a pigtail out from my hood and don't need the mounting prongs, so they will look goofy sticking out. Otherwise it is a nice product.
Box was damaged on delivery. Unit was bent in various places. There was no hardware in the box. Powder coat finish was damaged and scraped off from being tossed around during delivery Called Anna at etrailer to report damage on 10/15 at 3:45pm west coast time. Sent her 8 photos of damage. Really poor packaging of the unit
Received the base plate pretty quickly.
Install was also very straight forward.
Great product easy to put on. I have a 2000 Jeep Sahara. Plate went on real easy. I didn't have to remove my bumper. My jeep has a 4 inch lift plate took about 21/2 hours I was by myself and took my time.
Base plate kit is what I wanted and it fits my jeep wrangler really good
and was easy to put on one man job.
Thank you

Have never done business with eTrailer before so i did my homework and was not disappointed. They were very helpful and I got the materials within 3 days
Very professional and I highly recommend using them
The installation on my 97 Jeep TJ was easy, the fit to the frame was exact - really designed to fit perfectly. Component and extras were all inclusive with detailed instruction sheets.
I received my order a day earlier than expected. Customer Service was great and they have fast shipping. The part fit just as described. I will update with pictures when I have the RV and Jeep hooked up and ready to tow.
Perfect fit for my 02 Wrangler. A bit tricky getting the nuts into the frame after drilling the holes in the frame..More detailed instruction would be helpful.

Installation went ok. Had to bend tow bar connection tabs for proper pin fit but was minor detail.
For our purposes it works fine.

Just as advertised. Quick shipping for free. I'll be a repeat customer.
