Best Pontiac Vibe Tow Bars

Couldn’t believe etrailer sent this 2nd day deliver for free but they did. Only reason I didn’t give it five stars is whoever pounded the two Hex nut, top lock flange, 1/2”-13, grade 5 nuts to make them into lock nuts pounded them to hard makin them impossible to tighten even half way, even with impact wrench. Barely got one back off and had to cut the other off. Replaced with a couple of nylocks, washers and blue locktite and all is good now. Not faulting etrailer any at all. This was on Curt. etrailer is excellent. Second time I’ve purchased from them and I’m sure it won’t be the last. Great people to do business with.

The tow bar is useful - but the installation bolts all had to be machined to fit the nuts. All bolts as in 10 total (already had the mounting plate attached to the bumper of the vehicle so the extra 4 weren't needed) Reworked 6 of them to attach the bar.

The adjustable arms make this tow bar simple to hook up and disconnect. I can pull up behind our RV and hook up in about 3 minuets (including the wiring for our break buddy and putting the transfer in neutral). Disconnecting and stowing the bar is even faster. Although is tow bar is locked to the baseplate and folds flat it is so easy to remove I end up taking it off and putting it in the back when we will not be towing.

I was slightly nervous that this would be difficult to take on and off if I wasn't on flat ground. So for I have not had any issues and I really like that it hooks up to a 2 inch ball. My jeep has a lift on it and getting things level was easy with and adjustable height mount.

This towbar has been very disappointing. When it was time for a new towbar, I decided to downgrade from the Sterling to this Falcon, and that was a big mistake. This towbar cannot be described as "non-binding". Unless your tow vehicle is perfectly aligned with the motorhome and level, there is no chance of releasing the latches - they bind and will not release. If I get stuck in a stopped position where the car is misaligned from the coach by more than about 10 degrees, or higher or lower than the hitch by more than a few inches, I have a major project to release the towbar from the car, even sometimes having to use a punch and hammer to forcibly remove the hitch pins. Further, after just a few months of use, one of the release mechanisms quit working altogether, so I my partner has to start the car and jiggle back and forth in order to find a spot where I can remove the hitch pins. Once the towbar is unhooked, I have to use a screwdriver to dig around under the failed release lever in order to push the cam in manually so I can push the outer arm back in. The guides along the arms for the cables are not useful and dangerous. I initially used straight power and safety cables running through the guides, and they go chewed up in a short period of time. I had to buy new coiled cables that do not run through the guides, and have had no further problem. As a towbar, this device works fine. But it is NOT non-binding, and I highly recommend upgrading to one of the higher-end towbars. This device is too problematic to recommend, and I would never buy it again.

It took me awhile to decide if this would work with the Rough Country bumper I wanted to put on my 2010 Jeep Wrangler. After looking at numerous photos of the bumper I decided to pull the trigger and it worked. The mount cleared the bumper and I’m very pleased with how easy it was to mount and use the tow bar. I did everything myself except wiring the plug on my Jeep.

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.

Towed a 4 door Rubicon with Dodge 2500 truck. The tow bar did great on the 2000+ mile trip. The bar is very easy to couple and uncouple.

Excellent product. Towing 4 door Jeep Wrangler Sport.

I have towed our Honda Accord Sport over 7000 miles now with this tow bar and have been very happy with it. I didn't spend the extra $'s to upgrade to a non-binding bar and while I have had a couple of problems in getting the bars to release it was infrequent. I would suggest you read the owners literature and be sure to clean and lubricate the towbar regularly. It makes a difference

Tow bar is great. Installation was difficult due to Tracker frame. I got stuck doing install and needed a mechanic friend to help finish the job and even he had trouble with getting nut onto bolt inside the frame tube. Product & company are excellent. Just difficult due to Tracker frame.

I purchased both the parts of the tow system. I just purchase a Jeep Grand Cherokee (99) to pull behind our motorhome for week end trips. We just returned from the first week-end with access to a vehicle to move around the area, and short trips to town. It adds a wonderful dimension to the experience. This system allowed us to pull this vehicle with our motorhome, and I can say it pulled as if there was nothing behind me. It was quick to hook up, and easy to un-hook. My labor time to install was about 2 1/2 Hours, and went smoothly. This is a wonderful product, and works as desired. I have attached photos of the After installation, and the camp-site we stayed at, (proving we made it)

I keep this covered in the Blue Ox cover when not in use but it the paint is still flaking and rusting out. It still works but cannot believe it's so cheaply painted that it did that.

Adam provided excellent service and made the purchase easy. Long time Blue Ox customer. This is my fourth tow bar.

I spent five months flat towing my Silverado using this tow bar. I estimate I towed 4,000 miles with it and hooked up and disconnected around 20 times. It has held up very well with no rust or finish issues, which is notable as most of the time my spots were either right on the ocean (within 20 feet of the saltwater) or close to the water. I did rinse frequently and kept the Roadmaster cover on when not in use. Hook ups and disconnects are quick and easy, I suggest using gloves as one time when I raised it up to 90 degrees to snap in to the retainer after unhooking one of the bars was still extended and slid down and pinched my finger pretty good. (This was simply my stupidity, not the fault of the design, but gloves would have helped:) The LED lights on the sides also help make the rig more visible from the side. In my opinion this is the highest quality tow bar currently on the market. eTrailer also did an outstanding job on the entire flat tow installation.

We traveled 7,200 miles last winter pulling your 2023 2 door Jeep Wrangler and it performed Excellent. I did buy the optional cover which I think this is a wise investment to protect it when parked.
