Hooking up on a sloped driveway or campsite doesn’t have to be a hassle. The etrailer XHD’s self-supporting, telescoping arms hold their own weight so you can connect one side at a time without the bar dropping to the ground. Once you pull forward, the arms automatically lock into towing position. When it’s time to disconnect, non-binding trigger latches release tension with a quick squeeze—even if you’re parked on uneven ground.
With a 10,500-lb weight rating and a solid steel body, this tow bar is built to handle some serious weight. It’s sturdy yet thoughtfully designed, with self-aligning arms that extend from 39-1/4" to 51-3/4" so you can line things up without wrestling. The combination of strength and smart geometry gives you confidence mile after mile, whether you’re towing through mountain passes or down the interstate.
Safe towing depends on a level connection. The built-in 1-1/2" rise/drop and a head that tilts 3" up or down help you keep the bar within the recommended 3" of level—without extra adapters. That means a cleaner setup, less stress on both vehicles, and smoother tracking behind your RV on long trips.
The straight, vinyl-coated safety cables are built right into the bar and rated at 14,000 lbs. They stay up off the ground and out of the way, so there’s no dragging or tangling. A storage rod keeps your coiled electrical cord (sold separately) tidy and elevated. It’s an organized, streamlined setup that’s ready to roll every time.
When you’re done towing, you don’t have to lift the heavy arms straight up. The etrailer XHD stores easily by swinging the arms to either side—left, right, or one each way. They lock in place automatically when lowered, keeping the back of your RV neat and ready for the next trip.
Flat towing can be a much more convenient way to take your car RVing with you than using a trailer or a tow dolly. It'll save you storage space both at home and at the campsite, and it takes less time and hassle to hook up.
To flat tow your vehicle, there are 5 basic components you're going to need: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a flat tow braking system.
| For the RV | Between the RV and Towed Car | For the Towed Car |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch | Tow bar | Base plate |
| Wiring plug | Safety cables | Braking system |
| Wiring adapter cord | Wiring kit/diodes |
The custom-fit base plate installs on the frame of your toad so you can connect the car to your RV with a tow bar. Hook up safety cables between the vehicles to ensure that the toad does not separate from the motorhome if the tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring syncs your vehicle's signal lights with your motorhome's tail lights, as required by law in most states. Finally, the flat tow braking system - also required in most states - activates the brakes in the toad when you hit the brakes in the RV, making for smoother, safer braking, and preventing wear on your motorhome.

Still working perfectly after many miles, hookups and uses. No concerns with this draw bar system.
