Specs:
Setting up these invisible base plates for use with your etrailer tow bar is fast and easy. They easily bolt onto the ends of your tow bar. And because the tabs remain on your tow bar at all times instead of protruding from your vehicle , your car maintains a clean look when it's not being towed.
Using the etrailer invisible base plates to attach and remove your tow bar couldn't be easier. With the base plate tabs attached to your tow bar arms, simply insert the tabs into the receivers on your vehicle and twist to lock them in place. Insert the included pull pins to add an extra layer of security, ensuring the tabs stay put. To remove each arm, simply tug the pull pin to disengage the lock, twist the tow bar arm, and pull the tab out of the bracket.
Keep dirt and debris out of the base plate receivers with the included covers. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached. Limiting internal corrosion makes it easier to slide the tabs in and out and helps to prevent seizing so that the tabs don't get stuck.
If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. etrailer offers adapters for use with other 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.

Get a clean, factory look for your car when it's not being towed by using these invisible base plates. Tabs remain on tow bar arms and easily secure to base plate receivers with a quick turn. Simple, bolt-on installation with included hardware.Easy to install and works as advertised. Two pieces were missing from the package but the etrailer rep got them sent out expedited the following day and I received them in two days.
Very heavy duty, looks well made. Coating is chipping off in a couple places but everything else looks great.
Works great! Hooking up is so much easier than the dolly and mini van!!
Products were as described and easy to install!
It fits and has work great through some rough roads. My one disappointment is that the ends of the safety cable has begun to show rust already.
The base plate and hardware arrived yesterday and I am in the process of installing. Looks great and looks like it will fit. Only issue is there are 4 nuts and washers missing. I can get them from local hardware and I should bein good shape.

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
This item worked out perfect. I used it to flat tow my jeep behind my RV this summer on a 9000 mile family road trip.
I ordered the invisible bass plate because I have a smittie built after market rock bumper. It is not approved for using for towing. So I hoped I could do modifications on the bumper to make this work. To My surprise it worked without any changes. I towed My 2005 Jeep with it and it works great with my blue ox towbar. Thanks etrailer.
Great product. Towed my Jeep behind the motorhome and have had no problems.
Looks good so far. A bit of confusion with the instructions. I had to loosen the first two bolts going into the bumper quite a bit before the holes on the radiator attachment piece would line up to the bar. Eventually it all worked out.
One of the easiest installations I have ever done. Product was true to description arrived on time.
Installation was smooth!
Rodney said it and executed it. Everything was on time and works as expected.
All went very good, have dealt with etrailer many times and are very pleased
Easy install, works and looks good

I flat towed my 2015 Jeep behind my Class C with absolutely no problems. I installed the system myself and the braking system is spot on with great response when breaking and especially hard breaking. Awesome purchase and well worth the money

Still working well after a year on my 2001 Sahara. Only issue is that I have a M.O.R.E Rock Proof bumper and it mounts butt up against the front round section of the steering box. Had to grind away some of the metal to make sure it wouldnt interfere. Slotting the mounting holes was not enough. Its the same with OEM or the RedHead gearbox.
Super easy to mount. Works great!
