What Base Plate Do You Recommend for My 2005 Pontiac Vibe?
Question:
It seems I seen looking through different information, I seen excluding vibe GT models? Possibly this was with some other model base plates.

For a great quality base plate for your 2005 Pontiac Vibe, I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX3224. The Blue Ox plate comes with a custom-fitting that will be able to attach to the front of your vehicle. It also includes a straightforward installation with no welding necessary.
If you need a tow bar to go along with the base plate, I recommend the Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2" # BX4330. The Acclaim will fit with the Blue Ox Base Plates without the need of any adapter, and the Acclaim also comes with 5,000-pound rated safety cables. These cables will provide you with the safety you need when towing your 2005 Pontiac Vibe. For security of installation, the Acclaim includes triple-lug brackets that provide a reinforced connection point for base plates. It also comes with a 3-year warranty.
If you need a ball mount for your towing vehicle, I recommend the Curt Class III Ball Mount with 2" Ball - 4" Drop - 2" Rise # C45056. In addition to the ball mount, you will also need a vehicle-specific wiring harness on your towing vehicle as well as a hitch. For these particular parts, I would be happy to assist you if you provide the year/make/model of vehicle you are using as the towing vehicle.
