Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit Installation - 2014 Ford Edge- Video
Shane: Hi, I'm Shane with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'm gonna show you how to install, Demco's Tabless and Base Plate Kit on our 2014 Ford Edge.There are five main components to a flat tow setup: your base plate, your wiring, your tow bar, your safety cables, and your braking system.What our base plate is gonna do for us is it's gonna be a solid connection point between our tow bar and our towed vehicle. You can see with our fascia removed, our base plate is going to attach directly to the chasse of the vehicle to give us that solid anchor point for our tow bar.You can see when not in use it maintains a nice, clean look on the front of the vehicle. We're gonna have our safety chain looped here, which they're not gonna stick out too far. Again, maintains that nice, clean look. We don't have a lot of protruding items or anything like that sticking out of the front of the vehicle. more

Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Installation - 2014 Ford Edge- Video
Today on our 2014 Ford Edge, we're going to show you how to install the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with the Removable Arms, part number BX2628. Here's what the base plate looks like once it's installed on the vehicle and the removable arms are in place. As you can see, they use a pushpin style fastener. Just beside that you're going to have your safety chain connection points, that's going to be on both sides. Right here in the middle, slightly offset to the right or to the driver's side you're going to have your connection points for your wiring. Now we didn't set wiring up on this base place setup yet, so we don't have anything in place but you could notch out back behind there just like we did for the base plate and that's going to allow you to get your plug in there, no problem. The arms themselves, simply by pulling and rotating, we're going to be able to take those off and it really gives us a nice, clean look. Not nearly as big as a lot of the things you see out here on the front of the vehicle. more
