Custom designed to fit your Chevrolet Suburban so it can be safely towed behind your RV, this base plate has easily removable arms that offer a seamless look when you're not flat towing. Base plate bolts directly to your chassis, so no welding is required.
Features:
Specs:
This base plate's hidden design creates a clean and seamless look. The bracket arms are easily removable, creating a slick appearance when you're not flat towing. Because the arms can be removed, you also won't have to worry about banging your leg into any protruding arms when you walk by.
Attaching and removing the bracket arms is a breeze. To attach the arms to the base plate, simply insert them into the receivers and rotate them until they lock into place. Once you're finished towing and want to remove the arms, pull the pin to disengage the lock, rotate the arms, and remove them from the receivers. Finally, plug up the now empty receivers with the included receiver covers to help keep dirt and debris out of the base plate and provide a finished look.
Flat towing your vehicle is much more convenient than using a trailer or a tow dolly. These other options take up much more storage space, leaving you less room both at home and at the campsite. In addition, securing your vehicle to a trailer or tow dolly can be a hassle and more time consuming than hooking up with a tow bar.
There are 5 basic components needed when flat towing a vehicle: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a supplemental braking system.
The tow bar links your towed car to your motorhome. It attaches to the custom-fit base plates that install on the frame of your towed car. Safety cables ensure that your towed car does not separate from your motorhome in the event that your tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring allows your towed vehicle's signal lights to sync up with your motorhome's tail lights, which is required by law in most states. Finally, the supplemental braking system - also required in most states - brakes your towed car when the brakes in your motorhome are activated, preventing wear on the motorhome and decreasing braking distance for your entire setup.

Installation was easy to follow. will recommend it to anybody who asks for a good base plate,
i havent installed the base plate yet but the ordering process was easy and the delivery time was great. thanks for the good service.
Easy install good directions looked at a couple of [online] videos from earlier model Chevy Silverados. Great company to do business with fast shipping. If your not sure what baseplate fits your vehicle take a picture of the front and send it to them. They send me a link to all the parts I needed
Great product. I received the BX1731 base plate and followed the directions given to install on my 2018 Chevy High Country. Install went smoothly and took about 3 hours and that was taking my time.

Great quality product and fairly easy to install.
Well the deliver was excellent but I haven’t open the boxes yet. I plan to do the install next week.
Thanks
Kimberly was the best. Pleasant to talk to and very knowledgeable
Thanks
Easy to install, super strong, this is a great set up for towing a full size truck...plan on at least 4 to 6 hours to install brackets, light kit and air brake set up...i would also recommend the roadmaster brakemaster air set up as well, simple to install, I prefer this setup over the SMI air force one, it is a much simpler setup, less likely to fail and no worries of vacuum leaks...
Went well except for instructions installing baseplate for my 2017 Silverado. After grille removal was not close to the instructions. I [looked for installation videos for] 2018 model and instructions for grill and bumper removal was right. Nice project and saved a lot on install. etrailer is great at putting together the equipment you need. Love website to research products. Have not pulled truck any where yet. [(Covid)]
Love the way they fit !

It worked we are very pleased
The order arrived very quickly and is all intact. The (base plate) picture quality is a little poor from Blue Ox, but I talked to Angela B. and she is emailing the instructions to me for better viewing.
I might add that Blue Ox would have charged for shipping.
Now it is time for the installation.
This is the third base plate I’ve ordered and installed from etrailer and I’ve lost count of how many other orders I’ve placed for other items. I keep coming back because of the high quality and great service these folks provide. Always an easy, painless, enjoyable experience.
This is the second or third time I have ordered products from etrailer. They are the best, Fast shipping, best prices. Last order was Blue OX base plates for my GMC truck, they priced and shipped at what other company;s wanted for just the base plates Great Company to do busines.with. Buck Burnette.
It was easy to install with great instructions. Overpriced for what it is but hey it works great! I’ve ordered from you guys before (business) and have always been pleased.
Extremely helpful staff, arrived ahead of schedule and installation went smoothly.
Directions could be a little more detail. Thank goodness for google. Great service and product. Thanks
