Hi there Focus owners today on your 2017 Ford Focus we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Blue Ox base plates. And this is what our baseplate looks like when it's installed. We do currently have the arms in place where you would attach your tow bar to but if you're going to drive the vehicle around town you can pull the pin and twist these and they can be removed, so you can have a cleaner look here at the front. When you are ready to flat tow you can then just insert these in place push and twist until they click in, and now we've got our attachment points for our tow bar just to the inside of that, we've got our attachment for our safety cables. And just below on the driver's side where the safety cable attaches, you've got a mounting point for your breakaway switch. Towards the center of our baseplate, we've got two bars that come out and that's going to give us an attachment point for our electrical connector, so you can put a six pole connector up here really easily, and it bolts right up to it. more

Rob here at etrailer.com, and today we're going to be taking a look at the Roadmaster direct-connect base plate kit, our 2019 Ford F150. Now the reason why you're going to want a base plate is because you want to flat tow your F150 because let's face it, when we go on a trip with our motorhome, it's a lot nicer to drive our truck around so we can go out to eat, run to the gas station, run a few errands, and not have to take our motor home with us.And our base plate is going to give us that solid connection point so we can hook our tow bar up to. But it's also going to alleviate a lot of that strain and stress that's put on the front suspension, because it's going to spread out that towing force across the front of our truck. And then since our base plate is going to be hooked directly to the frame, it's going to have a really solid point so we can safely tow our F150 down the road.The way they're basically sitting now is we don't have our removable arms in. So you can see, it just has a really clean appearance whenever we're not towing. But when we do want to tow, We'll grab the removable arm, we'll see it's got a pull pin on it. more

We have a easy attachment point for the safety cables that'll go between our Edge and our motor home. Using our safety cable here, you can see we have plenty of clearance, and it won't contact any of our painted surfaces at all.We have these prongs in the front of our baseplate, which serve as an attachment point for any of our electrical needs for doing a flat tow setup, for our towed vehicle lighting systems. We also have a mounting location to put your breakaway switch for your supplemental braking system.Now, one thing that I really like about this baseplate compared to others on the market is that with removable arms having a small diameter, it really gives us a clean look. more

Our base plate's also going to have a bracket right here. more
