Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing the Roadmaster Baseplate for towed vehicles on a 2016 Chevrolet Suburban.

So it retains a nice OEM look and since you are taking off your tow hook you still have your safety chain loop here it can act as a tow hook when normally driving your vehicle. Now overall I really like the clean look of the baseplate and it's a relatively easy installation. Now one thing you will have to keep in mind is mounting up the rest of your flat tow components including this one has an air brake system for its RV, your diode wiring as well as your braking system.

So a base plate is just one of the many things that we need in order to successfully flat tow our F-150. In addition to this, we're gonna need a tow bar along with some safety cables an electrical harness as well as a breaking system. So one thing you wanna keep in mind when you're selecting a base plate kit is tow bar compatibility because not every base plate and every tow bar is gonna work with one another. Chances are you need to stay within the same brand. Therefore, if you have a Blue Ox base plate kit on the vehicle, you're gonna wanna use a Blue Ox tow bar. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at installing the Blue Ox Base Plate on a 2022 Jeep Cherokee. Now, this is what it's gonna look like when it's installed. And to be completely honest, it's really clean looking. In fact, it takes away the factory red tow hooks here on this trailhawk, which is unfortunate but it's nice that it uses the same spot because you're not gonna have to cut any of the fascia in order for the base plate to go on. Now, some of your other components may require that but overall using those factory locations is really nice. more
