  If your Chevrolet Equinox has a Curt # C28FR (70108) base plate kit you can install a Blue Ox tow bar without an adapter as they are compatible. Blue Ox does not recommend using their tow bars beyond 10 years for full-timers. You should probably get it in to an authorized service center for inspection.
