Demco Tow Bar - DM9511008-BX
Highlights
- 7,500-lb Capacity: Handles heavy vehicles with aluminum arms that lock automatically as you drive forward.
- Easy Hookup: Self-supporting arms hold their own weight and pivot to line up quickly with base plates.
- Non-Binding Release: Trigger latches free the arms fast so you can disconnect even on uneven ground.
- Integrated Safety Cables: 14,000-lb-rated vinyl cables stay organized and prevent dragging or tangling.
- Built-In Rise/Drop: 1-1/2" rise/drop plus 3" head tilt help keep your tow bar level without extra adapters.
Features to know about
Smooth Hookups and Releases: Built for Real-World Terrain
Hooking up on uneven ground can turn into a wrestling match with most tow bars, but this one takes the fight out of it. The self-supporting, telescoping arms hold their own weight so you can line up and connect one side at a time. Each arm extends from 39-1/4" to 51-3/4", automatically locking in place as you pull forward. When it’s time to unhook, non-binding trigger releases let the tension go with a squeeze, even when things aren’t perfectly level.
Confident Turns and Level Towing: Long Arms with Built-In Rise/Drop
Sharp campground corners and tight gas station exits are easier to handle thanks to the extra-long arms that give more clearance and a wider turning radius. A built-in 1-1/2" rise/drop and a head that tilts up or down by 3" help keep the bar level so you stay within that safe 3" difference between hitch and base plate. That means you’re less likely to need an extra adapter to stay balanced and smooth while towing.
Lightweight but Tough: Aluminum Build with 7,500-lb Capacity
At just 30 lbs, this tow bar is easy to handle but still rated for 7,500 lbs. The aluminum construction resists rust and corrosion while the internal steel components add strength where it counts. It’s a solid setup that’s easy to manage every time you hitch up.
Cables and Storage Already Sorted: Integrated Safety System
Straight, vinyl-coated safety cables are built right into the tow bar, so there’s nothing dragging or tangled on the ground. Each one is rated at 14,000 lbs—well above the tow bar’s own capacity—for peace of mind if the unexpected ever happens. There’s also a storage rod to hold your electrical cord (sold separately) off the ground, keeping everything neat and organized.
Quick Storage on the RV: Swing-Away Arms
When it’s time to park, the arms swing to either side and lock in place without needing to lift them all the way up. You can stow both arms to one side or split them—whatever works best for your setup. It keeps the back of your RV tidy and ready for the next trip.

What You Need to Flat Tow
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.

I had a Blueox before and the Demco seems higher quality. The real test comes in few weeks when we use it for the first time. I know it will go well. Great tow bar and fast delivery.
Thanks!

This is an excellent product, but not my first time owning it as I have had the product since the 90s.
My biggest problem was with the shipping. It was in a part of the warehouse rarely accessed and with the shortage of labor, I had to wait several weeks and was not home when it arrived.

With Andy's help, and help from Michael at Demco, I was able to upgrade to this Dominator from an old Commander without changing my vehicle's baseplate! Lighter, newer tow bar. Simply swapped out the pins! Thank you!

This tow bar is incredibly easy to use and our Grand Cherokee tracks very well even up to 70+ MPH. We are towing with our new Dynamax and are looking forward to our first long drive to Texas in December. Would highly recommend to anyone!!

We are still very happy our Demco tow bar and base plate. We have made several trips now and have not had any problems. I get lots of questions from other campers about our tow package and have only great things to say.

Use this to tow an F150, really does the job. Looks way heavier duty than a blue ox, yet it weighs about 30lbs. I really like it.

Was on the road when my 25 year old tow bar finally gave out. One call to Sheila at etrailer and I had my replacement on the way to fit my same base plates. And I got it the very next day in Ouray, Colorado where regular mail is always late. Etrailer has been consistently spot on every time I have needed anything for RVing and customer service is superb!

One year later and I'm loving this tow bar. The base plate install on my 2019 Jeep went perfectly without any grinding or cutting. I really liked the fact it fit inside the shroud preserving my ground clearance. The tow bar is very simple to install/adjust and maintain. Hookups are easy even on unlevel surfaces. I've towed about 11,000 miles so far. One time, I made a mistake which damaged one of the tow arms. All I can say is the level of service I received from Demco was awesome. They went out of their way to ship parts to me at my campsite and talked me through the repair. I would buy again and you should buy one too!!

Really good tow bar. It has pulled my Jeep Cherokee for over 7,000 miles this year with no issues. Only problem was when I had to do a u-turn with minimal turning room and one of the storage pins on top of the tow bar got bent.

Joshua K, was Great, just like all the support Staff at etrailer. They know not only etrailer products but all the other non etrailer products. I hope they are getting paid for what they are worth, because few companies today such well trained staff as etrailer has. I tell all me RV club members at Pacific Trailer RV Club how great they are

For my 97 4RUNNER behind my 2012 Thor Astoria. 4RUNNER 3,600 lbs. +/- . Could have gone with the 5,000 pound, but went with the 7,500 pound model. It's really beefy and easy to attach and performs well. I'd buy it again. I have completely set up the 4runner through etrailer and have been pleased with their help and quick delivery. Karl

- Recommended Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2023 Chevrolet Traverse W/ Lower Active Shutters Hey Marty, you can't go wrong with either and they basically do the exact same thing, so if it were up to me I'd go with the Demco Air Force One # SM99243. They (Demco) have a pretty good track record with this system, and a lot of people have used this and been very satisfied with it. Alright with that out of the way, you're still going to need: -A base plate kit ; Since you have active shutters your only option is the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU63CR, not a bad choice by any means and...

view full answer... - Recommended Flat Towing Components For A 2024 Ford Expedition Hey Rick, I'd be happy to help you pick out everything you need to tow the 2024 Ford Expedition behind your motorhome, but you'll first want to doublecheck that your Expedition is capable of being flat towed. Only 4 Wheel Drive with a 4L mode can be flat towed so if you have a 2WD model you will not be able to tow with all four wheels down and would instead need to tow it on a trailer with all wheels off of the ground. I have the following recommendations: Baseplate: etrailer Invisible...

I reached out to Blue Ox and my contact said that the newer Alpha tow bar (currently not available on their site either as of November 2019) uses a latching system similar to the Avail Tow Bar # BX7420 so there is a significant difference in the design. I have attached pictures of both latch styles for your reference. If you are...

- Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2007 Ford Mustang with Automatic TransmissionIf your 2007 Ford Mustang is an automatic then you would need to use a drive shaft coupling (disconnect) to flat tow it. Typically vehicle manufacturers don't recommend doing this so while I can't say that it is "safe" for your vehicle and recommend that you install one, I can give you a list of parts to use IF you were to install a disconnect. The tow bar I recommend using with the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2186 (which fits all models but the Shelby GT) is the Demco Dominator Non-Binding...

view full answer... - Recommended Blue Ox Tow Bar For A 2020 Jeep Gladiator With Maximus-3 Tow Loops The closest Blue Ox tow bar option to your 7,500lb capacity requirement is going to be the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420, which has a 10,000lb capacity. There are other branded compatible options with 7,500lb capacity, like the Demco Dominator # DM9511008-BX, but I'd just stick with the higher capacity Avail incase you ever trade in the Gladiator for something heavier or for just peace of mind knowing you're well under the capacity even if you load up the bed of the Gladiator.

So long as your 2008 Chevrolet Cobalt isn't the SS or Sport model, then the Demco item # DM9518187 will indeed fit!

The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit item # DM9518187 is compatible with your 9511007 Demco Aluminator tow bar.

One more even lighter option is the Demco Dominator, part # DM9511008-BX. It's only 30 pounds but is only rated for 7,500 pounds. It does connect to Blue Ox base plates as well though.
