This CURT Tow-Bar Base Plate for the Ford Explorer offers a custom, vehicle-specific fit. The main body is hidden to help maintain an OEM look and feel on the vehicle. It integrates with the vehicle frame, securely bolting into place and providing a solid attachment point for dinghy towing. It is physically tested to a gross vehicle weight rating to ensure safety.
