Tab Covers
When you're not towing, the included tab covers provide a clean look for your car by covering the protruding brackets. They also keep dirt and debris out of the base plate tabs, and even act as a shin guard to help cusion the blow if you walk into the base plate tabs. These high-density polyethylene covers easily snap into place over each pull point when your tow bar is not attached.
Tow Bar Adapters
If you have a tow bar from a different manufacturer, an adapter may be available. Demco makes adapters for use with other manufacturer's tow bars so that you don't have to go through the added hassle and expense of replacing your tow bar when outfitting your new towed car with base plates.

I have started installing base plate kit. It appears it will work well on my vehicle.
by: SDBruck05/21/2022
Baseplates work great! Install went ok, instructions sent with the baseplates we’re a little vague and not the easiest to follow. Once installed, work awesome, very solid.
by: Dennis 02/11/2021
Fast response and looks like good quality. Just received but instructions, quality, and timely delivery were the best. I also saved some money over other websites. Thanks so much.

I wish now that I would have went with the Blue Ox system. I have trouble disconnecting and connecting and the brackets have had some give to them. They never seemed to align correctly. Contacted the company who assured me they were installed correct. Will be buying a new Colorado truck soon and will be installing the Blue Ox on it. Tow bar works as promised. Love it.

Heavy duty. low profile look but it took a couple hours to install on my blacked out 2015 Chevy Silverado Z-71. Not quite as easy as the video.

Cudos to etrailer.

The base plates fit nicely but the covers are a poor fit. It would make sense to me that the covers covered the whole base plate.
Thanks, Randy

Received on time and installed as directed. I'm 78 and only had one problem, that of having to bend down a tab on the vehicle frame. Had to go buy a punch. However, the left base plate front holes for the tow bar attaching pin was not in alignment. The pin would not go through. Contacted etrailer and received a replacement in no time. Removed the bad one and reinstalled the new one. Then took the vehicle to my hitch guy for brake wiring. He double checked my work and said everything was in great order and a good fit. With the virus lockdown, I have not towed other than home from getting the brakes set up. But that worked ok.

Etrailer has proven to be the best place to purchase all my towing needs! They sent my first order very quickly. I decided to do a second order for another vehicle and again perfect service and top quality parts! The communication is A++++ and I highly recommend Etrailer.

Received shipment fast. I ordered the wrong adapters and call customer service right after delivery. Got excellent service from Brittany ordered the right adapter, got a return label while on the phone to my email. Installed the demco base plates with a few problems. Fit was tight but nothing a small mallet couldn't handle. They do mention in instructions that you may need to elongate one of the holes. Mine was for a 2016 GMC 2500. Definitely need to make hole bigger on the truck frame. I would do it before inserting the baseplate. Otherwise great product good tight fit.
by: Doug 04/18/2024
It took closer to 5 hours by myself!! Actually fairly simple install. If I had another one to do now it would probably take 3 hours. Some of the bolts were a pain with my large hands. It only pokes out a little. Very happy with this hitch!!
by: Michael W01/27/2023
Very high quality.
Very quick delivery.
Very good customer service.
I will order from etrailer again, I'm sure

easy to install on the truck frame and the removable arms help hide the base plate.

Towed our jeep 3,000 miles and this baseplate fit and worked very well.

Super Service and parts fit perfectly.
Very good quality.
by: Marcus08/28/2019
Great service - ordered Sunday night, delivered Wednesday lunch time, installed Wednesday afternoon. Excellent information, instructions - took about 4 hours, had to file 2 bolt holes a slight bit, but the fit was very good.
I am very happy with the baseplate and would recommend it to anyone.
Before and after pictures attached.

Demco is a great product. This is the third baseplate we have purchased for different vehicles. All have fit perfectly. It took me 1.5 hours to install this one on our Fiat 500.
by: Vincent 07/18/2023
These base plates are AWESOME! They were very easy to install on my 2013 Ram 2500. I just removed the shackles that were there, and the base plates aligned to the existing holes perfectly. Connecting to the tow bar behind my RV was a simple and easy task. Make sure you use the Loc-tite that comes with the base plates on the new bolts. This will ensure you have a good strong tight bond. The plastic covers that come with the base plates are a good fit too. The only come off if you pull them off, plus they protect your knees if you happen to bump into the base plates by accident. This is an awesome product, I highly recommend.

Good service and bang on timely delivery, thanks

After reviewing the top name brands for tow bars I was really exited first with Roadmaster's pin style base plate connectors, but when I realized that it would require cutting and possibly drilling I took a second look and decided to install the Demco base plates and get the tow bar from them as well.
These plates can be installed in a mere 2 hours if you have all the tools ready to go. I have the fortunate luck that my truck is equipped with the air suspension and so lifting it to the highest setting and driving up on 12in ramps gave me ample amount of room to work under the front bumper area.
The installation is seriously easy and requires no special tools, other than a set of metric sockets and a torque wrench. The factory tow hooks are removed and these base plates fit in the exact same space without any cutting, not even the plastic cover behind the pumper needed to be removed (though for some odd reason the instructions did and I followed them on the driver side but when I realized that I could install the plate without this step, I omitted it on the passenger side). Despite my initial worry of wanting a nearly invisible look, these bars are remarkably clean looking.

Received my H3 Hummer baseplates and towing lights diode kit. Haven't installed yet but when it's done I hope to submit pics.
Dealing with etrailer has always been nothing short of outstanding. Always rapid delivery of great parts and excellent prices. Thanks once again etrailer.

- Parts to Tow a 2015 Smart Car and 2011 Chevy Tahoe Behind a MotorhomeWe can help with the parts you need to flat tow your 2015 Smart fourtwo. I'll list the parts I recommend starting with the Demco Commander II tow bar, part # DM9511012-BX. I like Demco's tow bars because of the built in rise or drop and the safety cables. This one in particular includes the adapters to connect to Blue Ox base plates because for your Smart car I recommend part # BX1987. The other parts I recommend are: Braking system part # BLU37TR Wiring kit part # RM-15267 For the braking...

I do recommend checking your copy of the owner's manual to verify this. For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. The base plate kit that I recommend going with is the Demco Classic # DM9518200...

- What Parts are Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Chevy Tahoe Behind a Motor HomeThe first thing you are going to want to do is consult the vehicle owners manual to determine if your 2007 Chevy Tahoe can be flat towed and if there are any specific requirements, restrictions, or recommendations. As long as your Tahoe isn't a hybrid model use base plate kit # DM9518200. I like the Demco kits beause there's nothing to remove when you're not towing and you can barely see them on the vehicle. For a compatible tow bar use the Dominator # DM9511008 which is rated for 7,500...

I recommend installing these base plates using loctite threadlocker # LT37420. These base plates will work well with the Demco Excali-Bar III # DM9511013. This is a very nice tow bar that comes with the safety cables needed for connection. For your tow bar wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 which uses diodes to utilize...

If this is the base plate kit you have installed it is not confirmed to fit the 2018 model year as GM had a generational change to the 1500 Series from 2015 to 2016. You will need the Demco Tabless Base Plate Kit, # DM9519330 the 2018 model year GMC Sierra 1500.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 Behind and RVFor a truck like your 2013 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 I would flat tow it rather than dolly tow if because trucks can be heavy and harder to fit on a tow dolly than a sedan. Plus the overall cost for a decent tow dolly is as much as or more than a flat towing set up. For the flat towing procedures look at section 10-90 of the vehicle owner's manual. To flat tow the truck you will need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking. For base plates you can use Demco...

This includes everything you need to set up your vehicle for towing. For a base plate, you will need the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # DM9518200. This base plate kit is compatible with all Demco tow bars. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

Base plate kit is working great….towed the truck to Florida and back with NO issues. I don’t even know it’s back there the system pulls so smooth.
