Compatible Blue Ox Base Plate For A 2017 Toyota Corolla iM
Question:
The pic you have are for a 2017 Scion, do you have any with Toyota, as the grills and front end are different. What is the shipping weight for this base plate? Thanks for your time.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3796 is a confirmed fit for a 2017 Toyota Corolla iM. Most base plates end up fitting multiple cars so that's why you see a picture of this one on a Scion. If you have this kit installed and would like to leave a review with a picture of them on your 2017 Toyota Corolla iM we'll add it to the available photos for others to view. The shipping weight of this base plate is 56lbs.
To flat tow you'll also need a tow bar, tow bar wiring kit, braking system, and safety cables. I have the following recommendations for you below.
Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,500lbs # BX7380. This tow bar has non-binding latches that make it easy to unhook the tow bar on any terrain and swivel function that makes it easy to connect, even on unlevel ground.
Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154. This kit splices into your vehicle's wiring to signal using the tail lights instead of having to run magnetic lights every time you need to tow.
Braking System: Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional # HM39524. This system offers intense, emergency braking or steady, smooth braking in a single portable system. Easily switch between proportional or full braking from your RV using the remote. The included charge line kit will keep your vehicle's battery charged while towing.
Safety Cables: The tow bar I recommended comes with safety cables so you won't need to purchase any separately but if you decide to purchase a different tow bar that doesn't have any you can use the RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000lbs Item # RM-643.
