Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Installation - 2014 Chevrolet Sonic- Video
Today on our 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Blue Ox base plate kit with removable arms, part number BX1703. Here's what this base plate is going to look like once it's installed on the vehicle. As you can see, it gives us a pretty clean look overall because nothing really juts out very far from the front fascia here. The most noticeable part is going to be the safety chain connection points which just come out a little bit past the front of this license plate here. It has these 2 mounting rods that you can mount electrical brackets to for connectors such as your 4 round or 6 round so that it can connect to your motor home. It does come with an L-bracket to mount up a breakaway switch. The breakaway switch itself does not come with it because that would come with your supplemental braking system, but it comes with the bracket in order to help you mount that up. You've got the 2 safety chain connection points that are right here at the bottom corners of the license plate frame and then you've got your mounting tabs here coming out of the fascia of either side of the license plate. What's really nice about this base plate is how easy it is to use. When you're getting ready to hit the road, in order to get ready to hook up your tow bar, you can just slide your arms in, push them down so that pin collapses, turn it until it locks into place. Then that's not going to go anywhere and you're ready to pull once you've got all of your other things connected. more
