Ford/Lincoln Hybrid baseplate

Question

Currently have Roadmaster system on 06 Grand Vatari. Sterling Tow Bar.
Going to a late model ford/Lincoln hybrid.
Need advice from rv'ers who have these model cars. What base plate did you use and why?
Last summer met a poster "Duner" who had a broken blue ox base plate and his wife had to drive hundreds of miles following him until they arrived at factory. I have a good opinion of blue ox but this gave me pause. He had, I think, a 2012 Lincoln hybrid.
Thanks,

Kerry

We are using a Blue Ox baseplate on a 2014 Fusion Hybrid. We have only towed this car about 2000 miles ... But so far so good. The baseplate looked well constructed and it didn't "ugly up" the front of the car too bad.
