Most Popular Fits Blue Ox Base Plates for 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe

I decided to use an antique Blue Ox tow bar to pull my Mini Cooper behind our RV on a trip to Panama City beach last year. Big Mistake! If it looks questionable, don't use it. When we arrived I was extremely thankful that the Mini was still with us. The old Blue Ox bar was coming apart. I looked locally for a replacement and found one at Camping World and was shocked at the price. eTrailer had the exact same unit for hundreds and hundreds less. And they shipped it quickly right to the camp ground. The Roadmaster Falcon 2 tow bar is very easy to us and mated right up to the Blue Ox kit on the Mini. Thanks eTrailer! We will definitely buy from you again!

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.

It was a bit hard to get help with the installation, but after I got it in it's been great. Took a trip from Wisconsin to Washington DC and back and it all went smoothly.

Quick delivery and the tow bar was well packed and configured for my Blue Ox base plate. Thanks

Awesome Design. I love how everything is tucked away. It would've been nice to have some quick-connect points for the safety cables and pigtail when the Tow-Bar is in storage mode. As opposed to just wrapping the loose items and hooking back to themselves (seems tacky compared to the rest of the engineering). Beautiful Product!

very well made, simple to hook up

Looks like a quality tow bar. However, I'm pretty disappointed because the ratings on it were very favorable. I just used it for the first time and it's EXTREMELY tight and difficult to get into or out of the storage position. I'm going to contact etrailer to see if there's something I can do or if it will loosen up over time. I don't want to start loosening bolts. If it stays this tight, my rating would go down to a 1.

While the quality of this units seems excellent, and it is a good price, I was unable to use it in my setup. I Bought it to go with the Blue Ox base plate for a 2014 Chevy Spark. That base plate sets the tow bar connections 23" above the ground. This tow bar requires a 7" rise from the base plate connection to the hitch. Meaning 30" above the ground at the hitch. In my rig, this would require a hitch riser of over 12". I have no complaints about the tow bar, however, it is not a good option with the 2014 Spark Blue Ox base plate.

Everything as advertised. Followed the videos and instructions for installing the base plates and tow bar and all were good. Did a test pull today and it towed great, straight as a dye. I only have 2 suggestions. There was no mention in the video of the space plate, which was included. Figured it out. Second suggestion, Install a 2" ball on your work bench and adjust the receiver to it. The instructions tell you what socket to adjust it with but that could have been done on the bench before shipping. Great product, so excited. We are off on a few hundred mile trip with the Fit behind the motorhome Wednesday. So excited. No more tow dolly.

Great service and crazy quick delivery. Will definitely be using dtrailer again

Very happy with our blue ox system Great service from etrailer tow Bar was sitting on my porch 3 days after I made call and ordered it

You guys where great product broke a few months after purchase tried contacting manufacturer but never heard back from them very poor customer service on their end thank you

It broke already

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.

Works great on our Mini Cooper S Connects with removeable pins, making connections to the RV quick and easy.

There is not a lot of information on the internet about pulling this kind of VW. I did my homework and this works GREAT when pulling a standard transmission with key left in "ON" position. etrailer has a lot of variety to offer for different needs. This is the lower priced, plain Jane, no frills, less moving parts for something to go wrong - exactly what I was looking for tow bar. With little work it folds up for storage easily. Installation on our '98 diesel VW was clean and easy without incident (I do all my own modifications when needed. There is no rattling loose fit in tight corners or straight a ways. We don't even know we are pulling anything behind our '68 Dodge Travco B210 (modified with 5.9 Cummins)

Finally had a chance to use the new tow bar, we traveled 1,800 miles, this was to replace a older Avail Blue Ox). i like the design that it holds the safety cable up off the ground and no coils to mess with, for a lower cost than the rest i seen with at least a 10K rating, this tow bar is easy to work with and due to design and does NOT flop around when connecting it.. there are pros and cons with everything, over all this design is very nice. the bottom bar is lower than the top by design, once i installed this and got it perfect level one arm goes down a inch the other goes up a inch, the big con for me is here is no cover for the shafts as the Avail has, i sure i can find and buy some some where to help protect them, other than that this tow bar is a winner and can pull 10.5K, also the XHD is the same as the name brand just for less cost.. would recommend this to any one who needs and wants a HD tow bar..

Did not arrive despite being listed on shipping label. Danielle learned it would be in stock and shipped Monday and promised to upgrade and have it shipped 2 day so that it would arrive in time for me to leave WA and travel east to pickup our new motor home.

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.

The his is my second one, the first is still fine but after 100,000 miles towing behind three different motorhomes I figured it was time. I towed a GMC 4x4 diesel with a truck camper that weighs about 10,000 pounds and the a Jeep and no a Bronco 4 door.

I have ordered other products before from etrailer, and this order was no different. Very easy to do, Demco Tow Bar came as advertised in a timely manner and setup was quick as directions were precise. This is the second Demco Tow Bar I have had and like the first I am very happy with how it functions, it's simple operation and ability to safely tow my GMC Sierra 1500 Denali.

The tow bar that I purchased has so far been great. I own a concrete mixer truck and I work it in different towns all over the country and in order to bring the Mixer truck and the pick up truck it requires my blue ox tow bar. In 2017 I towed my 2013 ram 2500 behind my 1998 peterbilt Mixer truck from Los Angeles to Las Vegas then from Las Vegas to durango co. Then to Blythe ca. Where my current job is. So it's done me well all year

Overall good product but once the arms are locked out, all you can do if free them to move a little. You cannot retract them and I guess that is due to the 20,000 tow capacity. If you line up the vehicle to tow by yourself, this can take some time to get it right so you can get the Pindle ring and tow bars hooked to the vehicles.

Good design but poorly manufactured. Used on a single, multi-week trip: Bar stayed on the RV. Removed when we got home and the powder-coating has cracked and bar is showing rust inside and out. Chrome on extending arms is pitted and beginning to rust. Emailed etrailer but Cody informed me that I would have to ship it back at my expense without any commitment to replace! Disappointed with etrailer after years of previous purchases

We love our etrailer SD tow bar. Much lighter than our previous Blue Ox. The non binding feature along with the integral safety cables and multiple storage options are great features. We use it in conjunction with a NSA Ready Brake. Great combination. Our current coach is a 2017 Jayco Seneca 37HJ. Toad is a Ford C-Max Hybrid. Easiest to use tow bar we have ever owned.

This tow bar and equipment is Excellent! The products were shipped in 2 days. Bonus was it came with the adapters for my existing Blue Ox baseplate. Instructions were simple to follow to make the change. The built in drop of 4” brings my level almost perfect +/- 4”. I may order the 4” drop/lift receiver hitch. Connecting to the tow car is easier than ever. Carol C was outstanding with her customer service. I’ll be buying more accessories.

Wanted an articulated mount that wouldn't bind when tow vehicle was not level or even with the RV. Works as expected.
