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.

  • 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...

  • Recommended Flat Towing Set Up for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500
    Congrats on the new truck! I can help you with the rest of the parts you would need to flat tow your Silverado but I have no information on whether you can flat tow with an AEV front bumper or what you would even use. Their website doesn't even have the bumpers or any technical information listed for your truck. You'll need to contact them directly. I do agree nothing we have is going to be compatible with it and that's all I can confidently tell you. Here are the rest of the parts you...
