Stegoman, you will not be able to use a universal towbar on the car. Universal bars are made to bolt onto steel bumpers with a frame horn behind it. The newer cars usually don't have a sliver of steel anywhere near the bumper.

You will need to buy a baseplate that is made specifically for your make and model and then a towbar. Check out www.Blueox.com

I sell these things daily working for an RV dealer so feel free to ask me any questions.

My credo
If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
depends on the mount you need to but to go with it

hey Jspafford, how much would a towbar and baseplate run on average? I'm just curious, I may get one for my BII so I can flat-tow with my car when I'm going to a farther-away trail ride...

actually almost every newer car that has a plastic bumper has a steel bumper (more of a crossmember really) behind it. without it you would get slaughtered in a front-end collision.
