   I have installed base plates on a Nissan Frontier and a GMC pickup,   
   which is what I'm towing now. They both took some time but if you are   
   half way mechanically inclined it's not that difficult. The hardest part   
   way laying on my back while drilling half inch holes. Of course yours   
   may be a straight bolt-on application. I even had my seven year old (at   
   the time)grandson helping me with the second one.
