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.

After conferring with the eTrailer customer support folks we received the correct parts the first time in just two days. Parts are already installed and everything is absolutely perfect. Thank you eTrailer for taking such good care of us!
This worked well for towing our Jeep Cherokee across the country and back this spring and summer, over 7500 miles total. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is that the connection for the safety cable is quite close to the main pin connection for the towbar arm, making hooking up a bit awkward. Only an inch of additional separation would greatly improve it. Nevertheless, it worked well for us. I’d buy it again, and install it myself again. Thanks, eTrailer!
etrailer always gets it right.
I think you techs should know that the not to over tighten bolts on the knuckle type connections so they may move freely. I called your firm regarding the tightness that made the vehicle extremely difficult to hook up. no one I spoke with had any solution. I called the manufacture direct and was told the connection bolts were self locking bolts and had no torque values. Was told to loosen bolts just enough to allow free movement of the parts. After adjustment hookup is now less than 5 minutes. Other than the 1 issue I am well pleased with product and instal

Not my first choice but the Roadmaster was out of stock so after speaking with Alex I decided on the etrailer baseplate for my 2019 Equinox instead of waiting 3 weeks. I am happy that I did. The etrailer baseplate is well built and easy to install. The directions include are vague and at time confusing but the etrailer video was excellent. I was concerned about removing the fascia of the car but following the video made it easy. My only complaint is that I wished the video showed the clips holding the fascia on, see attached photo, once I knew what I was dealing with it made the other side easier to remove.
The box had holes in it and I was missing some of the hardware, so I’am having to wait on replacement hardware to be shipped. So now instead of waiting 4 or 5 days now I have to wait 8 to 10 days before I can mount it on my vehicle. If those parts make it.
I was able to mount the base plate according to the Video with a few kinks... The base plate kit had a weld support on the passenger side that was welded wrong and had to be ground down, also the safety cable quick links do not fit in the base plate hole as listed in the video.
Works very well, no complaints. Like all base plates, it is a project to install, but once it's installed, it just works. The etrailer videos on the install process were invaluable in sequencing the work and understanding exactly what had to be removed to get the base plate correctly installed.
Installed on a 2016 Grand Cherokee. It is definitely an intermediate level DIY requiring extensive disassembly of front grill. The clips that hold the fascia to the front bumpers need some more detail in the otherwise excellent video because it is difficult to figure out which direction to pull/pry without breaking clips.
The towbar was also about 1/8" too narrow for my car's frame and required some jacking and modifying of the hole.
Installed on 2014 Honda CRV to be towed by Class C motorhome. First time towing a car and the base plate worked great for our 2000+ trip. Everyone at at eTrailer is super to work with!
Trailer invisible base plate was very easy to install even for a 72 year old man great product works as it should
the installation went pretty smooth, the complaint I have is the welded bolt plates the nuts weren't aligned properly before welded. I do like it and it does look and fit good.
