• Custom-engineered design bolts directly to the F-150 chassis using multiple mounting points for maximum strength
• Removable attachment tabs provide a clean, low-profile appearance when not towing
• Hidden installation beneath the front bumper maintains the truck's factory appearance
• No welding or permanent modifications required
• Includes all necessary mounting hardware, brackets, and installation instructions
• Two-piece construction (driver side and passenger side plates) for precise fit
• Compatible with Blue Ox tow bars and safety cable systems

Installation Details:

The BX2686 requires removal and reinstallation of the front bumper during installation. Some drilling and trimming are required for proper fitment. The baseplate is designed to use existing factory mounting locations while adding reinforced connection points. Professional installation is recommended, though experienced DIYers can complete the installation following the included instructions. The recommended tail light wiring kit for this application is Blue Ox BX8848 (sold separately).

This baseplate is backed by Blue Ox's limited one-year warranty and must be replaced if involved in any accident or towing incident. Always consult your vehicle owner's manual to verify flat-towing capability and proper procedures for your specific F-150 configuration.
