Fitment of Base Plate Kit on a 2012 VW Turbo Beetle
Question:
Trying to find a tow bar baseplate for my 2012 vw Beetle NON turbo. Does Blue Ox make one for the NON turbo? Or is Roadmaster my only choice? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
According to Blue Ox there isn't a baseplate kit that will work on non-turbo. We do offer a Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-521237-1 that will be compatible with the 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.
If you currently have a Blue Ox Tow Bar you could use adapters # RM-032. If you don't already have a tow bar, I recommend the # RM-522, it will be compatible with this style of baseplate kit. If you need any of the other flat towing components I recommend the following.
Stay-IN-Play DUO: # SM99251
Tail Light Wiring: # RM-152
Wiring Umbilical: # RM-146-7
and
Safety Cables: # RM-643
I have linked a few Help Articles for your convenience.
