As others have said the base plate bolts on. You will also need lighting for the rear of your Toed (brake and turn lights)and an auxiliary braking system. The braking system usually needs some holes to be drilled into various places on the Toed. You can get a Ready Brute tow bar with a Ready Brake installed on it instead. The ready brake is a surge brake that does not require being mounted inside the car. You won't be able to get around some holes drilled on the outside but they would all be hidden under the car. The lights can be mounted to the Toed with magnets. Good luck.
