• Recommended Flat Towing Base Plates for 2004 Ford F250 and 2005 Scion xB
  The Blue Ox Alexus tow bar has been discontinued for several years, but it would still be compatible with their currently available tow bar base plate kits. The tow bar has a 10,000 lb capacity, so it would work fine with either vehicle. To flat tow either vehicle, you will need a tow bar, base plates, safety cables, a lighting solution so the lights on the two vehicle operate along with those of the tow vehicle and a supplementary braking system. Also, please keep in mind that some vehicles...

• Equipment Needed to Flat Tow 2001 Chevy Tracker Manual Transmission 2WD
  According to my research, the 2001 Chevy Tracker RWD w/ manual transmission is capable of being flat towed without modification, however it's not recommended to tow the vehicle above 55 mph. Your motorhome would need a hitch and a trailer connector at the rear. For the vehicle, you'll need a tow bar, base plates, wiring so the vehicle taillights work along with those on the motorhome and a supplemental braking system. The Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, part # BX7380 is an excellent choice for...

• Base Plate for 2004 Jeep Liberty Thats Compatible with Reese Tow Bar
  As long as your Liberty doesn't have a brush guard on it, the Roadmaster # RM-521423-5 base plate kit would be a good choice. If you DO have a brush guard, use # 521426-1. In order to be compatible with your Reese tow bar, you'd also need an adapter like part # RM-025. I'm not sure which Reese tow bar you have, but keep in mind that some of the Reese towbars have a limited speed rating of 45 mph. The # 40602 bracket you referenced is more suited to something that would have a completely...

• Can a 2015 VW Jetta 1.8 CL Be Flat towed
  While many vehicles will have base plates and other components available, only some trim levels are able to be safely flat towed. The OEM is final word on what conditions are needed and what trim levels can be safely towed. We always recommend that you review your vehicle specific owners manual for this information as the OEM is the authority on if a vehicle they manufactured can be safely towed and how.

  As long as your 1996 Toyota 4Runner is the 5 speed manual 4 cylinder, then yes, you can flat tow it.

• Tow Bar Cover for RoadMaster StowMaster and Parts Needed for Flat Towing a 2017 Chevrolet Spark

• Can Anything Else be Plugged in when Using Custer Wireless LEDTow Light # LIW-LDTL
  The 7-Way connector would be occupied by the transmitter for Custer Wireless LED Tow Light # LIW-LDTL. Any supplemental braking system you use that requires 12 volt power should get that power from the vehicle it is installed in and not from the RV. The reason is because if the vehicle gets disconnected from the RV the braking system will still have power allowing it to apply the vehicle brakes and avoid a runaway vehicle. If you can tell me the braking system you have I can look into how...

• How to Use Custer Wireless Tow Bar with RV that has 6-Way Round
  The 4-way round connector is very rare and the 6-way round is somewhat common but more rare than 4-way flats and 7-ways so what that means is that we don't have an adapter for your configuration but I have a similar solution. We have a version of the Custer Wireless Tow Bar Light that uses a 7-way blade with the part # LIW-LDTL-7B which we do have adapters for like with the # 337TC1067P which plugs into your 6-way and converts to same connector as the tow bar.

• Tow Bar, Base Plates and Flat Towing Accessories for 1996 Geo Metro
  To flat tow your 1996 Geo Metro, you'll need a towbar, base plates, safety cables, a method of wiring the vehicle so the taillights of the tow vehicle operate those of the Metro and a supplemental braking system. The Blue Ox Adventurer you referenced, part # BX7322 would work fine. For a base plate that bolts to the front of the vehicle frame and provides an attachment point for the tow bar, you could use the Blue Ox # BX3507 (as long as your vehicle isn't a GTI model.)

• How Would 2001 TJ Wrangler Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL Fit Wrangler
  The Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL that you referenced is designed to attach with the powerful magnets on the bottom of it either to the top of a vehicle or to the rear bumper. Looking at the rear of your 2001 Jeep TJ the best shot it's going to have at fitting properly is if you have a metal rear bumper you can set it on top of since the top is not metal. If you have other ideas let me know and maybe we can work out a better solution. I attached a review video for this...

• Recommended Wireless Magnetic LED Tow Light
  We carry the CusterWireless tow light system # LIW-LDTL that do not splice into the vehicle wiring as you said you wanted. We do not carry the Pilot lights you mentioned. The great feature about the # LIW-LDTL is that it is a magnetic light and you only have to be concerned with one area to attach it to. This system has a charging cord for the light, where the Pilot system uses 6 AA batteries that can be a hassle when the batteries go dead.

  You're fortunate that the 2012 CR-V has some good options available for wiring. I prefer an option that doesn't require the vehicle wiring to be cut into.

• Installing Roadmaster 6-Diode Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles on 2014 Ford Taurus
  Because wiring colors aren't always consistent even among models produced during the same model year, we always recommend wiring by function, not by wiring color. You can use a voltmeter or a simple circuit tester like part # PTW2992. There should be close to 12 volts being delivered to the taillights. Activate the left turn signal and probe the wires until you find the circuit that makes the tester blink along with the turn signal. Do the same for the right turn, the brake light and the...

• Installing a Wireless LED Light Bar for Towed Vehicle Lighting
  I might have a solution for you. You will need to replace the current 7-way trailer connector on the RV with # HM48470 that has both a 7-way and 4-way connector. Then you can use the wireless LED light bar # LIW-LDTL plugged into the 7-way with your dolly plugged into the 4-way. You'll also need a 12-volt socket in the cargo area of the vehicle if there isn't already one. You can use # RM-9332. You'll then need to figure out a way to mount the light in your vehicle's window, like you said.

• Can Front Mount Trailer Hitch and Base Plates be Installed on 2001 Jeep Cherokee at the Same Time
  With base plates installed on your 2001 Jeep Cherokee, # 1418-3 or # 1418-1, you will not be able to also install front mount trailer hitch # 65009. The issue is that both the base plates and the hitch install in the same place and occupy much of the same space so both cannot be installed at the same time. The same goes for Curt hitch # 31084. Neither the base plates nor front hitches are designed for or rated for being stacked or sandwiched. They are all meant to be in direct contact...

  In order to create a male-ended plug for the female 4-way round connector on your Custer Wireless LED Tow Bar Light # LIW-LDTL, you need to use the Pollak 4-Pole Round Wiring Socket # PK11404. Once you have the plug, you then need to route 16-gauge wire # 16-4B-1 to those pins into your current wiring.
