Tow bar Baseplates

Baseplates provide the secure mounting point that connects your tow bar to your vehicle. At The Outdoor Warehouse, we carry vehicle-specific baseplates from Blue Ox, Roadmaster, and Demco for perfect fit and safety.

Choose hidden-tab baseplates for a factory look or heavy-duty brackets for trucks and SUVs. Pair your baseplate with a tow bar, safety cables, and braking system.

Expert Tips:

  • Confirm fit for your exact vehicle year, make, and model.
  • Hidden/removable tabs keep your vehicle’s look clean.
  • Always install with safety cables and braking systems to meet regulations.
