Most Popular Non-Binding for 2009 Chevrolet Equinox

Seems to work pretty good. Only been able to use it twice. It came with two locks but no information on where to use the locks. Contacted the company about the locks. Their explanation wasn't very clear and they could provide no images of where the locks were to be used. Guess you have to guess!

Just arrived here. Opened the box and liked the obvious quality and substantial materials used. Plan to install next weekend.

Great tow bar very easy to connect to car.

I put the road master on my 2020 Chevy equinox. The install went very nice. The roadmaster video and the paper instructions were very helpful. The base plate was better designed than others I looked at. The bolt pattern made for a very strong connection. It fit perfectly. This is a very well thought out product. Thanks John

AWESOME PART, FAST SHIPPING. THANK YOU GUYS!

not installed yet, be two weeks

I regret not getting an aluminum tow bar. The bx7420 blue ox is covered when not in use and one year later it is rusted and looks like its 10 years old. I am beginning to question the safety of the tow bar. Not sure what to do. I have always had blue ox but will consider other brands very soon.

I’ve used an early model Sterling Allterrain for four years. It had had a hard life possibly backed up with. Bought it used towed a Chevy Equinox. I upgraded to tow a 2018 Chevy Colorado. Wow no comparison, it’s very smooth, heavier construction, 2000 lb more on the max weight. I plan on using it without the cross bar with the EZ5 tow plate system.

Easy to hook up our toad ( Jeep ). I can connect or disconnect in about 2 minutes all while standing. Stays right behind our RV and you only know its back there when you look in the rear view mirror. I would buy this again.

I have been using this to tow my 1997 F250. It tows great and no question, it is beefy enough. I left four stars because you have to spray it with a lubricant almost every time you use it to keep it from binding when you want to disconnect it. It works great as long as it’s lubricated. This is the only tow bar I have used so I am not sure if binding is normal or if this is works better than others. It seems like it it an issue with all tow bars. I am happy with this bar but there is always room for improvement.

Great tow system, does exactly what I needed. The flexibility of how the tow bar folds for use and storage allows me easy access to my bike rack. The tow bars can be stored on either side and fold away easily. I use this on my class C and set it up to pull my Jeep or my Equinox with Roadmaster base plate.

I ordered this tow bar and D ring adapters specifically for my Bronco and it’s way to sloppy and I can’t use this to tow my Bronco

Great Base plate kit! Very easy to follow instructions even with my aftermarket bumper with winch. It fit perfect. The only issue I have is where the safety cables attach to the base plate….the cable connectors are too big to fit through the holes because the Jeep’s frame blocks part of the hole. See photo with red circle. I will have to get a smaller connector.

I've used this setup for a year towing a 2023 Jeep Wrangler . I 100% recommend it for anyone else. Under normal conditions it is very easy. Under stressful conditions (bad weather, uneven terrain, need to connect/disconnect quickly) it is a life saver. I am 63 and I can connect/disconnect this in 5 minutes.

The customer service has been outstanding, helping me to understand all the parts I needed, telling me about the videos with step by step instructions, and the unbelievable fast delivery of the product.

I just got a chance to install on my Motorhome but haven't had a chance to hook the car up and take it for a spin. Not sure when that will happen.

Ordering from etrailer is a breeze,there tracking of your order is also great. You can follow your shipment all the way to your door. Would highly recommend.

This tow bar is incredibly easy to use and our Grand Cherokee tracks very well even up to 70+ MPH. We are towing with our new Dynamax and are looking forward to our first long drive to Texas in December. Would highly recommend to anyone!!

Joshua K, was Great, just like all the support Staff at etrailer. They know not only etrailer products but all the other non etrailer products. I hope they are getting paid for what they are worth, because few companies today such well trained staff as etrailer has. I tell all me RV club members at Pacific Trailer RV Club how great they are

1st tow bar I had to send back, due to chip powder coating. 2nd two bar came a week later Great job etrailer. It was easy to do a return and get a replacement. etrailers whole team was great getting me what I wanted. I replaced a 10-year-old tow bar and wanted to replace it with their new XHD you can tell its LBS is higher than my old tow bar.

The tow package has been working very well and makes hauling my F150 a breeze.

First, this bar is extremely heavy, which makes transporting and maneuvering cumbersome and difficult. Secondly, I had issues with this unit from the get-go. I did not receive the correct bolts to attach the Roadmaster clevis to the arm ends. The instructions clearly state that a clevis bolt was to be installed with the XHD unit, but it was not in the hardware bag. I had to call customer service (which was so/so, almost like the person didn't believe me) and had the bolts sent to me. I received the bolts but long story short, they were too short. They did not come out of the bottom of the locknut and any attempt to torque them to the point they did protrude, caused the forks of the clevis to bend, which is too much stress on such an important piece. I did not feel it was safe to either have the bolts not protrude, or force them to protrude. Then came the days-long process of trying to rectify the situation. I called customer service and attempted to explain the problem to the rep. She didn't really want to hear my problem and I was quickly rushed off the phone and directed to call Roadmaster for support, which I did. Roadmaster, of course, has nothing to do with this bar, or problem (pictures were sent to RM) and I was directed to call eTrailer back. I spoke to another person and she was a little more helpful. However, during our "conversation," I could hardly get a word in (I was spoken over and interrupted constantly.) I was told that #1.) the first person I talked to had no idea what she was talking about #2.) Demco manufactures these parts, not Roadmaster, #3.) Essentially the correct length bolts don't exist in the parts catalog. At this point I am starting to get upset with my experience and just wanted a tow bar that worked. I was convinced to but a Roadmaster branded tow bar to avoid any more issues (Blackhawk All Terrain) which I found to be strange, I figured the margin on the eTrailer branded products would be higher, but I digress. Since there is no exchange program with eTrailer, I had to purchase the Blackhawk outright. I was given a UPS label to send the XHD back, but I had to wait to receive the Blackhawk to reuse the box, which is not a huge deal, a minor inconvenience at this point. As of today (4/26/24) I am still waiting for a refund on this unit which I was assured it would be on it's way once the tracking number showed that it was picked up by UPS, but this is not the case. In conclusion, the XHD seemed like it would be a decent product if they can get the hardware right (at least for the Roadmaster system) it's just heavier than most tow bars I have had experience with. eTrailer.com customer service can also use some work, I was not happy with the service after the sale I received. Oh, and the final kick in the tail, the Blackhawk does not come with safety cables. If this were my company, I would have thrown those in for the inconvenience, but I was offered nothing for the trouble this has caused, no discount on the Blackhawk, cables or anything. I will do all I can to avoid buying from etrailer again and will direct others to the same.

Painted parts have peeled away, and the polished shafts have rusted and corroded superficially.

I had a Blueox before and the Demco seems higher quality. The real test comes in few weeks when we use it for the first time. I know it will go well. Great tow bar and fast delivery. Thanks!

Used dolly before. The whole tow setup is awesome. Easy to connect and disconnect including lights and brakes. Would highly recommend.
