GRP--Group numbers refer to relative price categories. "I" being the least expensive and "V" being the most expensive for the Blue Ox baseplates. "A" being the least expensive and "C" being the most expensive for the speedometer disconnects.
Note: Group numbers do not refer to Duncan brackets. (They are all the same price)

N--An "N" appearing in the "RNK" column signifies that the baseplate or bracket is new and may be increasing in popularity.
