Highlights
- 10,500-lb Capacity: Handles heavy trucks and SUVs with arms that automatically lock as you pull forward.

- Quick Disconnect: Non-binding triggers release pressure fast, letting you unhook easily on uneven ground.
- Built-In Rise/Drop: 1-1/2" offset and tilting head keep the tow bar level without needing a separate adapter.
- Integrated Safety Cables: 14,000-lb-rated straight cables stay organized and off the ground for a clean, secure setup.
Features to know about
Smooth Hookups Every Time: Self-Supporting, Telescoping Arms
Connecting your setup shouldn’t feel like a workout. The Demco Excali-Bar III tow bar has self-supporting arms that hold themselves up so you can attach one side at a time without struggling to balance the weight. Each arm telescopes from 39-1/4" to 51-3/4" and locks automatically once you pull forward. The arms also pivot and tilt to line up smoothly, so even if your ground isn’t level, hookup stays simple and quick.
No More Wrestling on Uneven Ground: Non-Binding Release Triggers
After a long drive, the last thing you want is to fight your tow bar just to unhook it. The non-binding design of the Excali-Bar III releases with an easy squeeze of the side-mounted trigger. It frees the internal latch and lets the arms move without forcing or kicking. Whether you’re parked on a slope or at an angle, you can disconnect without strain.
Built-In Rise/Drop Keeps Things Level and Safe
Keeping the bar level is key for stable towing, and this one makes that easy. A 1-1/2" built-in rise/drop plus a 3" tilting head helps you match your setup without needing a separate high-low adapter. Fewer extra parts mean a cleaner, stronger connection and less stress on both vehicles.
Handles Big Loads with Confidence: 10,500 lb Capacity
Flat towing heavy rides calls for a tow bar you can trust. The Excali-Bar III is built from steel with an E-coat finish and rated for 10,500 lbs. Reviewers have put thousands of miles on earlier models towing full-size trucks, and this updated version carries the same heavy-duty confidence in a 46 lb package that’s easy to handle and store.
Tidy and Ready to Roll: Integrated Safety Cables and Storage Rod
You don’t have to deal with loose, messy cables anymore. 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 connect with spring-latch S-hooks for secure attachment. A built-in storage rod also keeps your electrical cord (sold separately) neat and out of the dirt. When you’re done towing, the arms swing to either side and lock in place for quick storage right on the RV.
Compatible and Convenient: Works with Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates
If you already have Blue Ox or Curt base plates, this tow bar comes ready to connect with the included adapters and hardware. You can easily switch out the brackets to match your setup, keeping your system versatile without extra purchases.

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.

Demco has made MANY improvements over the original Excalibar I purchased 18 years ago. Some of the changes have been with the safety cables being better organized; the main 'towing' bolt being perpendicular to the towing pull tension; being able to adjust the assembly to accommodate a more level alignment between the powered and towed vehicles by 'flipping' or turning over the yoke. Also, it is much easier to store the assembly with the newer pin and plate arrangement, instead of the previous pin system which required getting on the ground and attempting to pin the shaft to secure the tow arms. In addition, the tow arms now have the ability to hold themselves up while you are in the process of disconnecting the tow bar from the powered vehicle. I have not towed my truck behind my motorhome as of yet, so I can't say how it will disengage and be non-binding on the arms for storage. One of the issues I had with the old Excalibar was being somewhat difficult to release and disengage after a trip. Hopefully, that issue has been resolved.

I think this brand of tow bar is the best out there, because the wire is supported and the safety cables are attached and it all stores on the motor home. I had a lighter weight Demco bar for eight years and really liked it. I bought this heavy tow bar because we will be towing a Ford F250 and needed the heavy rated tow bar. After owning a Demco for eight years, I would recommend this bar for a heavy super duty truck.

I have ordered other products before from etrailer, and this order was no different. Very easy to do, Demco Tow Bar came as advertised in a timely manner and setup was quick as directions were precise. This is the second Demco Tow Bar I have had and like the first I am very happy with how it functions, it's simple operation and ability to safely tow my GMC Sierra 1500 Denali.

The his is my second one, the first is still fine but after 100,000 miles towing behind three different motorhomes I figured it was time. I towed a GMC 4x4 diesel with a truck camper that weighs about 10,000 pounds and the a Jeep and no a Bronco 4 door.

After owning another name brand tow bar and experiencing a. complete and catastrophic failure of one of the arms resulting in extensive damage and costly repair to both TOAD and the rear of the motorhome I discarded the remains and purchased a Demco Excali-bar. I couldn't have been happier. Being ever mindful of what happened in the past, I can now tow with complete confidence. It is easier to hook-up, is reliable and I have had no worry about any failure, My go to tow bar.

Oh wow, glad that everyone is okay, Curtis. That sounds to have to go through. I'm Happy that the Demco Excalibur came with peace of mind when towing.

Great price, great product. Wish Demco would put a locking hitch pin with their product. Pay the company that much money and you get a standard pin. I think Demco should send a locking hitch pin standard with all of their tow bars and a normal hitch pin with the cotter pin clip optional. Or, just include both, but definitely a locking pin standard with all tow bars.

- Recommended Base Plate for 2024 Ford Maverick With a Blue Ox Base Plate That's Too WideOkay Bob, so I did a bit of digging around and apparently this is a known issue that Blue Ox is aware of. The 41" distance between the mounting points is too wide and non-standard which is why your tow bars are being stretched too far. Unfortunately there is no solution from Blue Ox which is a bit disappointing but with that said you'd be better off getting rid of those base plates and use something else instead. That much stress on your tow bar/base plates is going to only end up bad...
view full answer... - Does Demco Make the etrailer XHD Tow BarHey David, you've got a good eye! Yes Demco does make the etrailer brand tow bar which is based on their previous generation Excali-Bar so going with the part # e67ZR is a great way to get essentially the same thing as the part # DM9511013-BX at a better price! Do you have a Blue Ox base plate already?

The only way Ford recommends flat-towing your truck is if you have the 4x4 model that has an automatic or manual transmission with the manual-shift transfer case. However, Ford says not to flat-tow if you have the 4x4 model that has a manual or automatic transmission with the electronic-shift transfer case. If you have this second model, Ford says that the vehicle should not...
