This custom-fit base plate kit lets you hook up your tow bar to your vehicle. No external crossbar means that only the base plate tabs are visible. Simple bolt-on installation with included hardware.
Features:
Specs:
When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.
If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

This custom-fit base plate kit lets you hook up your tow bar to your vehicle. No external crossbar means that only the base plate tabs are visible. Simple bolt-on installation with included hardware.The base plates fit nicely but the covers are a poor fit. It would make sense to me that the covers covered the whole base plate.
Thanks, Randy
Received my H3 Hummer baseplates and towing lights diode kit. Haven't installed yet but when it's done I hope to submit pics.
Dealing with etrailer has always been nothing short of outstanding. Always rapid delivery of great parts and excellent prices. Thanks once again etrailer.
This is the easiest setup I've ever seen. For reference, I had a Smart car I was towing behind a class C prior to this. That was and experience! You literally have to remove the front end of the car to install it. When we bought a class A we switched to a Hummer H3 because of its towability. Four bolts! Thats it! Four bolts! You remove the stock tow hooks and bolt these in their place. I used loctite on the bolts, but other than that, it was just that simple!
Product is very good and is a great solution for towing a Hummer H3 because of the simple installation, no fascia removal nor cutting, etc. Just remove the existing tow rings and bolt on the base plates. The only slight downside is that they surface rust just slightly in a few areas. Nonetheless, they function as advertised and as desired.
Brackets great , covers could be better
Simple! Arrived on time.
Have uses these to tow our Hummer H3 for about three thousand miles and both of them have spread apart while driving.

I saw that you had contacted our customer service team about the base plate spreading while driving. I wanted to see if you could explain in more detail what you meant and if Demco has been able to assist you.

Yes.. Demco identified the problem as being with the Ready Brute clevises bring too short... However instead of kicking the can down the road... They stepped up and are taking care of the problem by sending me new clevises that are correctly designed to take care of the problem. I feel they definitely went above and beyond to remedy the problem... Instead of passing the buck...

Perfect I’ve towed my Hummer behind a 35 foot motorhome four times from California to New York. No problems.
I love the product. It’s easy to use and simple to
just what I wanted, will add photo later
Received on time and installed as directed. I'm 78 and only had one problem, that of having to bend down a tab on the vehicle frame. Had to go buy a punch. However, the left base plate front holes for the tow bar attaching pin was not in alignment. The pin would not go through. Contacted etrailer and received a replacement in no time. Removed the bad one and reinstalled the new one. Then took the vehicle to my hitch guy for brake wiring. He double checked my work and said everything was in great order and a good fit. With the virus lockdown, I have not towed other than home from getting the brakes set up. But that worked ok.
Etrailer has proven to be the best place to purchase all my towing needs! They sent my first order very quickly. I decided to do a second order for another vehicle and again perfect service and top quality parts! The communication is A++++ and I highly recommend Etrailer.
Received shipment fast. I ordered the wrong adapters and call customer service right after delivery. Got excellent service from Brittany ordered the right adapter, got a return label while on the phone to my email. Installed the demco base plates with a few problems. Fit was tight but nothing a small mallet couldn't handle. They do mention in instructions that you may need to elongate one of the holes. Mine was for a 2016 GMC 2500. Definitely need to make hole bigger on the truck frame. I would do it before inserting the baseplate. Otherwise great product good tight fit.
It took closer to 5 hours by myself!! Actually fairly simple install. If I had another one to do now it would probably take 3 hours. Some of the bolts were a pain with my large hands. It only pokes out a little. Very happy with this hitch!!
Very high quality.
Very quick delivery.
Very good customer service.
I will order from etrailer again, I'm sure
easy to install on the truck frame and the removable arms help hide the base plate.
Towed our jeep 3,000 miles and this baseplate fit and worked very well.

These continue to be a practical and inexpensive solution for towing a Hummer H3 a year later. They have surface rusted quite a bit more and the paint has flaked off quite a bit, so they are not very attractive, but they still serve the primary purpose of towing the H3 very well.
