Custom designed to fit your vehicle so it can be safely towed behind your RV, this base plate has easily removable arms that offer a seamless look when you're not flat towing. Base plate bolts directly to your chassis, so no welding is required.

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.

The etrailer service was great as usual, but like other was very disappointed in the fasteners that were provided. Two of the four main bolts stripped when torqued to the recommended level. $20 trip to the hardware store to get grade 8 bolts solved the issue, but I should not have needed to make this upgrade. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed.
Works great. Very happy with it.

Still happy.
Easy installation. Great product
Base plate bx1119 and wiring kit hm56203 both were very easy to install , just follow the easy directions .I'm 73 and it only took me 4 hours to completely install both. I did it with the jeep sitting flat on garage floor.

Very good have no problems
The only thing negative would be the bolt holes on the base plate were not exact to my 2004 Jeep liberty not real bad so I was able to make it work just fine. Overall good product. Can't wait to hook up to the RV and go.

I took a 4000 mile trip last year with zero problems. Very happy with it
I love it when things line up and go together. This item is one of those things. Very easy installation and instructions. Very good fit and finish.
I purchased Item # BX1119 mounting bracket for my jeep liberty so i could attach tow bar to the jeep for towing it behind my motor home. I talked to AHREN and she was very good at helping me with my purchase, And it was shipped the same day.I received the Items the very next day. Great shipping on these items. I can't thank her enough for the great service. I give a thumbs up for this company, And its service.Thanks again AHREN.
The product was easy to install and solid built. The bumper removal was a pain though.

1 year follow up. The blue ox baseplate has seen a lot of use and has performed flawlessly. My only complaint is that the paint has flaked off some of the parts and they are starting to rust.
