Simple, Hidden Design

Blue Ox Base Plate With Arms AttachedBlue Ox Base Plate Arms Removed

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.


Blue Ox Base Plate Removable Arms

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.


Guide to Flat Towing

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.


Towing Basics

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.

  • Is The TowDaddy Confirmed To Work With A 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500
    The TowDaddy Custom Tail Light Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles TD3002 unfortunately isn't confirmed to work with a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500, but I do have another solution for you. To transfer your motorhome's traffic signals to the Silverado you can use the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267. If you haven't gotten the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU24TR. Tow Bar: etrailer...

  • Comparing Blue Ox and etrailer Tow Bars for Flat Towing a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Duramax
    I'll pick the etrailer branded tow bars over the Blue Ox alternative any day because of some key features that set them above Blue Ox: - Triggers for easier disconnection of the arms - Integrated safety cables so you it's one less thing to remember to grab - Head adjustment to minimize the need for a high-low adapter (although you still may need one for a truck - see attached article) - Integrated rod to help keep coiled wiring off the ground - Stacked arms that provide a wider range...

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate Kit Fit on 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss Z71 Trail Boss
    Your list looks really good for your 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 Trail Boss Z71, but the Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 actually connects directly to your battery for power and it has a battery charger included with it as well so you should be able to ditch the charge line kit and the 12V outlet kit unless you were planning on using them for something else. This means your list of parts required should be the following: - Brake Buddy Classic 3 # HM39494 - Roadmaster Battery Disconnect...

  • What Is Needed To Safely Flat Tow A 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500
    A 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 will need to have 4WD and a two-speed transfer case, which will need to be placed in neutral, in order to safely flat tow. Your owner's manual will have a list of instructions to follow to switch your transfer case into neutral under the "recreational vehicle towing" section. If you don't already have your setup complete then I have the following recommendations: Baseplate: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU24TR. The arms of these baseplates are removable to provide...
