Recommended Baseplate For A 2018 Chevy Colorado With A Blue Ox Patriot

Question

Question:

I have the patriot system I move from vehicle to vehicle. I am now looking for a base plate for my 2018 Chevy Colorado 4 x 4. I’m interested in buying that Kurt 7107. Would that adept easy to my patriot hook up? I’ll wait for your reply. Thank you

The Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR is a universal fit, only requiring an powered outlet # RM-9332 to function so it wouldn't have any compatibility issues with the baseplate. Since you already have some towing equipment I would want to recommend a compatible baseplate to the tow bar you already have so that you aren't having to purchase an adapter as well.

If you have a Roadmaster tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-523182-5. For a Blue Ox tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU93FR. For a Demco tow bar I recommend the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit # DM9519319. The Curt Curt Custom Base Plate Kit # C88FR you referenced would also work and would be compatible with a Blue Ox tow bar.

if you don't have a tow bar yet then you can choose whichever baseplate you want and then a compatible tow bar. If you need help picking out any other components for your Colorado then please let me know and I'd be happy to help.
