When you just need a solid, no-frills tow bar to get a vehicle from one spot to another, this steel tow bar keeps things simple. The adjustable arms spread from 26" to 41", with a preferred spacing of 33", so you can match a wide range of setups without needing vehicle-specific base plates. Universal bumper brackets bolt to a flat metal bumper, and once they’re in place, the tow bar attaches or detaches quickly using two easily accessed pins.
You don’t want your gear taking up space once the drive is over. The arms fold together when removed, making the whole unit compact enough to stash in your garage or slide into a storage bay. At just 31 lbs, it’s easy to handle and move around when you’re setting up or packing away.
Instead of bulky lugs or specialized adapters, this setup uses a coupler-style latch that connects directly to a standard 2" hitch ball. The trigger-style latch makes securing it to your ball mount quick and familiar—just like hooking up a small trailer. With a 1/4" coupler-lock pin hole and a 1/2" mounting-pin diameter, you can add extra security if you want to keep it locked in place.
Made of steel and finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coat, the tow bar is rated for up to 5,000 lbs of towing capacity. It’s tough enough to handle typical flat-towing setups without needing extra hardware. Safety cables and hitch lock are sold separately, so you can choose the ones that best fit your needs.

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.
I purchased this tow bar for my 2002 Chevy S10. I did so thinking that it needed no adapter plate per the website. It will not work without an adapter plate of some sort. Do you know of anything I can purchase to complete this tow bar?
High quality product. Will buy again.
We installed these trailer hitches on some dumpsters that needed to get towed from a sub-floor up to street level for trash days. They were very straight forward and fairly easy to install. They look good on there, nice and clean. These were a great fix for a problem that had me scratching my head for a few weeks. I would definitely recommend these to others that need tow hitch solutions.
Installed easy breezy on my 89 YJ. Had to make a small adjustment on the ball clasp, but other than that everything went as expected.
For the price and what I needed it for, it's been good but I did make a modification because the rails would not stay in a fixed position. Rather than leave it as a "folding" tow bar, I added bolts and locking nuts right next to the bolts that held the arms in the hitch portion so the arms would not move.
I've used it quite a bit, towing a Ford Bronco II behind my motorhome. I've towed several thousand miles already.
My Curt tow bar is works great, easy to install and hook up. I installed it on my 1990 Jeep Comanche pickup to be pulled behind our RV and it does the job. I don’t worry about possible decouple like the more expensive tow bars. When not in use, I can stow it in place on my truck or quickly disconnect and stow it in the truck bed or storage compartment. Great investment!
As always, the merchandise was received promptly and consistent with my order. Curt products have served me very well over the years---fine design, high quality production and excellent customer service.

As expected.
Tow bar arrived on time and in good shape.
Some assembly was required, had helpfull instructions, everything fit together properly and took about forty five minutes to assemble. You will need to figure out the best way to install safety chains, as they are not included and I can understand, because every application would be different. I will be towing my Jeep Wrangler behind my 40 foot Beaver Coach.

Great Tow Bar, it has towed my Jeep Wrangler over 4,000 miles without a hitch...pun.
Delivered as promised!!!Arrived in just a few days and putting it together was a snap. All parts accounted for and easy instructions. Total work time to install was about 1 hour with no adjustments necessary and it allowed my Jeep to flat tow behind my pickup flawlessly. I would definatly purchase the Curt Tow Bar again and recommend it to friends and family.

Had this tow bar a year now and have towed my JK from California to South Dakota and back without a single problem. To bar is easy to use and stow away when not in use. Definitely a good purchase!
Very solid equipment.
I purchased the Curt Tow Bar with Adjustable-Width Arms - Car Mount - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs. initially I was Leary of the product because of its low price compared to other tow bars. I now can say my concerns were needless because after flat towing my Wrangler over 5,000 trouble-free miles I have nothing negative but only positives to report. The best thing I like about the tow At is that it only takes 5 minutes to attach and unhook.

My toe bar is functioning like new! I went from tying down my Harley which took at least 45 minutes to hooking up my Wrangler in 5 minutes. I’ve never had an issue and I never even Cantel my wrangler is behind me. It tracks perfectly with no excessive wear on the wranglers front tires. I give this product a 10 out of 10! And yes, I would certainly buy it again.
Great design and manufacturing quality!

Still love the tow bar for my 1962 Jeep CJ-5 however, one note: make sure the bolts on the slotted location points are torqued to specifications. Recently noticed some movement when towing through the mountains on tight switchbacks.
Product was as advertised. It arrived earlier than expected.

Still working as it should. Going to use it this weekend.
The two bar mounted to the existing brackets and was very easy to install took about 10 minutes!!
Perfect fit
No issues. Works perfectly!
Great tow bar for my 1995 Wrangler, only reason I’m not giving it 5 Stars is bc I couldn’t use the predrilled holes on the bumper....but that’s a minor complaint in my book, I ended up using the 2 inside predrilled holes on my bumper as the outside holes for the brackets.....this made it hard to get the tow bar wide enough to fit, but it did fit. Once I got it together, I tightened everything down. Tows like a champ
Product fit exactly as specified, installation instructions were perfect. No issues and tow bar works perfect. I wish that all DIY projects turned this good, I highly recommend this product
I ordered a towbar from etrailer. You guys never let me down. The towbar is great and the instructions were very complete. I got it all installed very easily and I am now ready to tow my Jeep to Big Bend National Park. If you need to tow a Jeep or any vehicle that weighs less than 5,000lbs you can't go wrong for the price.
Functions by design. I pull a 2003 behind my motorhome. Easy to install, easy to connect to Jeep and hitch of motorhome. Never had an issue pulling, put about 5000 miles on since purchase. I would do it again if needed. Great product
Very nice, i have used it 4 times flat towing my 89 Jeep Wrangler YJ over 1000 miles. Very happy and tows like there is nothing behind me, thanks for a fine product!!

The bumper brackets that come with the tow bar part C19745 attach to a flat, metal section of your vehicles bumper. If a flat metal surface is not available then modification and fabrication maybe required. The coupler on the other end of the tow bar attaches to the 2 inch ball on your motorhome.
