Base plate kit installs like the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX1690 that you referenced that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Cadillac SRX usually take about four hours to install. We typically tell people to set aside an afternoon as that is about how long it takes our installers. We charge 4 hours of shop time for a base plate install.

For more info on the install check out the install video and instructions link I attached.
