Blue Ox BX3616 Tow Bar Base Plate Kit with Removable Arms for Subaru Forester

The Blue Ox BX3616 is a vehicle-specific tow bar base plate kit designed for flat towing the Subaru Forester behind your RV or motorhome. This base plate bolts directly to the vehicle's chassis and integrates with the bumper structure to create a solid, durable connection point for your Blue Ox tow bar — no welding required.

The BX3616 features removable attachment arms (tabs) that twist and lock into place for towing, then quickly pull and twist out when not in use. This keeps the front of the vehicle looking clean and unobtrusive when the Forester is driven on its own. Receiver covers are included to keep dirt and debris out of the base plate openings when the arms are removed.
