Blue Ox base plates for Mercury vehicles support flat towing of Mariner, Milan, and other Mercury models from before the brand's 2011 discontinuation. If you are still towing a classic Mercury, we have the base plate you need.

Mercury flat tow vehicles

  • Mercury Mariner: Ford Escape twin that was popular for flat towing in its production years.
  • Mercury Milan: Mid-size sedan—verify flat towing procedures for your specific year.
  • Mercury Mountaineer: SUV option from Mercury's final years.

Towing an older vehicle

  • Mercury vehicles share platforms with Ford, so procedures are typically similar.
  • Check your original owner's manual for flat towing procedures and limitations.
  • Older vehicles may have wear that affects towing safety—inspect drivetrain components.

If you need a base plate for a Mercury and do not see your model listed, contact us. We can often source parts for discontinued vehicles or help you find alternatives.
