The baseplate bolts to the frame and is custom designed for each specific towed vehicle. Different baseplate's will show significantly more than others will and a few require cutting of the bumper for installation. Many of the newer vehicle models under 5,000 lbs. have removable attachment tabs, which allows you to remove the exposed parts from the front of the vehicle. Standard Tab baseplate's have welded tabs which are not removable and are generally used on vehicles over 5,000 lbs & older vehicle models. Baseplate's come with all the necessary hardware to install them and will bolt to a secure place on the towed vehicle. On occasion you will need to drill holes in the frame to attach the baseplate, but no special tools are needed.
Please Note:Not ever vehicle can be towed 4 wheels down without modification, please verify this with your vehicles manufacturer.
