The roadmaster tab sits higher than the blue ox thats why I went with it cutting wasnt that bad its only plastic blueox needs more drilling

Should be a Blue Ox BX2639 base plate. Should fit 2013 to current C-max hybrid and Energi.

thanks to both of you! i have watched the videos on trailer.com showing both installs... currently i have the roadmaster falcon all terrain tow bars. looks like using roadmaster baseplates makes more sense...

Blue Ox. Install was not that bad...it's just a REALLY tight fit in a few places. Instructions were excellent.
