Blue Ox BX2520 Tow Bar Base Plate for Mazda 3

The Blue Ox BX2520 is a vehicle-specific tow bar base plate engineered for flat towing the 2003–2006 Mazda 3 behind an RV or motorhome. Designed to integrate directly into the vehicle's bumper frame and unibody structure, this base plate provides a solid, reliable connection point for your Blue Ox tow bar without compromising the vehicle's structural integrity.

Key Features:

• Shock-Absorbing Design: Engineered to flex and torsion during towing — similar to a receiver hitch — absorbing road forces rather than rigidly transferring them to the vehicle's frame
• Removable Attachment Tabs: Tabs twist on and lock for towing, then pull and twist off when not in use, leaving a clean, virtually invisible appearance
• No Welding Required: Bolts directly to the chassis using existing holes and hardware where possible, with all mounting hardware included
• Powder-Coated Steel Construction: Durable powder coat finish resists rust and corrosion for long-lasting performance
• Integrated Electrical Connector Mounting: Built-in mounting points allow easy attachment of an electrical connector plug and bracket (sold separately)
• Includes Hardware and Instructions: Everything needed for a complete installation is included in the box
• Approximately 4-Hour Installation: Straightforward DIY-friendly installation for those with basic mechanical skills
• Hidden Beneath the Bumper: Base plate mounts behind the fascia for a factory-integrated look

The BX2520 is compatible with 2003–2006 Mazda 3 models and is backed by Blue Ox's limited warranty. For a complete flat towing setup, pair this base plate with a Blue Ox tow bar, safety cables, and a supplemental braking system (all sold separately).
