I got the bolts & nuts from Blue Ox, & finally removed the grill cover & the bumper cover.
The left side(drivers side) of the base plate is bent down.
I tied to push it up & get the holes to line up.
No luck with that.
A new base plate is $430.
Ya gotta be kidding me. It's bent and they actually have their hand out for $430, when they should be giving you the #430, so you can buy something worth having. Am I just imagining things or is it actually true of most all tow bar and base plate failures, I've read about, involve Blue Ox?
And then, I keep hearing that they are such a good company, because they stand by their product and will readily replace defective items. HELLO!.....and having a bullet proof product is what one should be looking for, not one that repeatedly fails and gets replaced with the exact same part.
