tow plate/tow bar interchangeable between manufacturers?

I'm shopping for used tow bar and base plate for a Vitara. I may end up having to buy the base plate new. How interchangeable are the tow bars and base plates between manufacturers? Thanks Bill

I think it depends on the auto being installed on.Go on the base plate mfg and download the instructions.I like blue ox they look cleaner when not towing.The big difference, blue ox and demco have the cross bar behind the grill road master has crossbar in front of car.
