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.

Installed this baseplate myself with no assistant. 2023 was a complete makeover for the Colorado/Canyon twins. This meant the baseplate was also newly engineered by Blue Ox. As usual the build, fit and finish for this base plate was excelent.
The handfull of difficult areas in install were all related to disasembly of vehicle components, particularly the seperation of the grill assembly from fenders, be carefull to not break any of the 3 clips on each side. Also, if you have large hands, a few fasteners are in very tight spaces. I ended up using electrical tape to attach fastener to socket.
It has been on a year now. still looks great and has well over 4000 miles of flawless performance. Paired with a Blue Ox Avail tow bar, behind a 40 ft diesel pusher.
Has worked perfectly with 5,000+ towing miles on our 2023 GMC Canyon AT4 in the past 12 months. Installation required removal of the front facia which was a little tricky and time consuming but not terribly difficult for the DIY'er.
As always excellent service.
Quick delivery and excellent packaging. Looking forward to installing these, and with all the videos etrailer has available it should be no problem.
