Not dissing the OP here, but some of his 'issues' could have been avoided if he'd bought directly from BlueOx. From the web page of his distributor... "We are an independent authorized dealer for Blue Ox products, not affiliated with Automatic Equipment Manufacturing."

I've installed three Blue Ox base plates and found their instructions to be easy to read. The wires on the nuts are the only way to get them in place and get them secured. Blue Ox personnel are always easy to reach and very informative. I find them to be an above average company....Dennis

Not true! I bought from Blue Ox.com who is the distributer for Blue Ox - they have no idea how the baseplates are installed. They were nice but could not help. Blue Ox was not available to help.

The base plate for the 2019 Ford Ranger is next to impossible to install.

Well, my friend, you posted you purchased and dealt with the folks at BlueOxTowBars.com which simply sells BlueOx products. They are NOT affiliated with Automatic Equipment Manufacturing (AKA Blue Ox) as per their disclaimer. I've dealt with the manufacturer and found them to be excellent. I'm sure most, if not all of the positive posts here are from people who have done likewise. IMO, you simply got a bad distributor not a bad product....Dennis
