Can The Blue Ox KarGard And Roadmaster Tow Defender Be used Together
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
Do you know if it is possible to have the Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening and the blueox karguard installed at the same time when flat towing? I have a blue ox set up. Driving through Wyoming the front of my truck was disseminated from chip and seal.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Roadmaster Tow Defender Protective Screening # RM-4750 and Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870 both mount to the shoulder bolt of the tow bar baseplate connection so you could technically get both to fit together, but would have to source your own hardware since the bolt won't be long enough to work with both systems in place. Personally, I would just use the Roadmaster Tow Defender since it's much easier to setup and store than the Blue Ox KarGard.
