Hi All, I just finished installing a Demco baseplate on my 2023 Hybrid Lariat, fits great. Also installed the Demco Stay-N-Play supplemental braking system. Went with the Blue Ox Ascent tow bar, Roadmaster diodes and battery charge kit. The Demco braking system is not variable or progressive, the brakes are either pedal to the floor, or off, which is ridiculous. The G-force box adjustment knob does not adjust braking pressure, it just delays the over response, you can either hear the Mav tires skidding 100 feet before a red light, or 20 feet before, but they will skid. At its default of 80 psi, the system is way too much for the Mav as the power brakes are active when the Mav is in neutral tow mode, unlike most towed vehicles which the Stay-N-Play was designed for. After google searching I added a pressure regulator and brought the pressure down to about 30 psi which seems to work better. That said, it is extremely convenient to just flip a switch to activate the Stay-N-Play system rather than hooking up a physical braking system on the floor. I can attach and detach the Mav in just a few minutes. I also installed a Bullet Proof Diesel GMRS antenna for the 50 watt under set radio. 25 pics attached. #demco #bulletproofdiesel

How did you mount the 6-pin connector and breakaway switch? The Demco Baseplates I've seen have no accommodation for this.
