Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar w/ LED Lights - RV Mount - 8K
I am very pleased with the operation and performance of this tow bar. It is easy enough to handle, the tension release levels work great, and the built in cable holders really make for a clean operating set up. For our set up (2018 F-53 chassis pulling a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Sport), we needed a 2" drop hitch receiver. For our configuration, the Nighthawk needed to be modified because it was pulling a vehicle with the Stealth Brakebuddy: The standard 6 pin connector does not work with Brakebuddy's proprietary connector - it must use the 7-pin to custom plug cable included with the Brake buddy. To provide power to the LED array on the tow bar, I replaced the coiled cable with a simple heavy duty 4-pin trailer wire plug and cable, and connected that to the 4/5-pin connector on the RV, and plugged the Brakebuddy cable into the RV's 7-pin connection.
The Roadmaster Base Plate and All Terrain Direct Connect Tow Bar worked perfect for my 6-Speed Subaru CrossTrek. Looking forward to exploring and traveling later this spring.

Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs
Very happy with my Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain tow bar, baseplate and high low hitch. Great service from etrailer, great company! Going on my first trip in a couple weeks! Took about 4 or 5 hours to install. Great instructions, the videos were very helpful!
This tow bar works well for the most part. It is not all that "non-binding" and I carry a hammer and a heavy punch to hammer out the hitch pins when they are "bound" which happens about 40% of the time. I have towed my Jeep Wrangler for two thousand miles over some rough terrain in Baja Mexico without any problems. This is a heavy piece and awkward to slide into place in your hitch. If you have a bad back look elsewhere.

Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs
Great product
Overall very happy with this product. It fits snug in my receiver without alot of play. It did come with a cross bar, which surprised me since none of the pictures showed it. Initially i was concerned this wouldn't work with work with direct connect base plate, the directions weren't real clear. After a bunch of research it will indeed work with the direct connect base plate. I've yet to tow since I am still installing the base plate. Will update at a later date

etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs
After gaining some experience and knowledge about flat towing, I found that Danielle at etrailer helped me select the perfect towbar for my purposes. Thank you Danielle and etrailer.
Upon close inspection, the tow bar appears to be extremely well made. The powder coating is evenly applied without any thick, thin, or bare spots and the baseplate adapter hardware seems to be of comparable high quality. As soon as I work out a couple of fascia clearance issues with my Blue Ox baseplate installation, I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Demco Excali-Bar III Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,500 lbs
Due to Covid, we haven't used it yet so just assuming it will be excellent
Perfectly
Glenn - 02/01/2022I 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.

Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 8K
The towbar arrived in an old box whith holes covered by tape. The towbar was ok. The unit was not what I thought I had ordered and the process to return it was quick and efficient. No hassle except waiting 27 minutes on the phone for support is a little rude.
Received in a damaged box . Box had been patched and taped up at etrailer before shipping. Parts missing.

Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2" - 5,000 lbs
This tow bar works great after the year I've had it and still is as easy to put on and off my vehicle as when I first got it. Now that I'm practiced with it, I can have it on the car and hooked up and ready to go within 10 minutes. The parts hold up and the only ones I had to order were those I misplaced in my previous RV.
I can only speak for myself but this model Tow Bar came along just at the right time. Recently I had some minor hand surgery that went bad and left my right hand total useless and unable to lift or hold anything in it. I had been using a regular Blue Ox tow bar, which work great but was very difficult for me to handle and hold up while connecting to toad and motor home. The Acclaim stays hooked up to the toad all the time so I only have to disconnect the one arm and swing it around to the other side and connect the one pin. With it staying connected I don't have to support all the weight of the tow bar and hooking it to the motor home with the ball hitch is a piece of cake. Before I had to support the bars with my leg and I ruined countless pairs of pants with grease spots from the ends of the tow arms. So if you are handicapped in any way this bar makes it much easier to hook up.

Roadmaster Tracker Tow Bar - 2" Ball - 5,000 lbs
I HAD A FOLD AWAY SOLD IT.. I HAVE TWO LOCKS TO GO WHERE THE PINS ARE..I WILL PUT THE PINS WHERE IT WILL HOLD IT UP.. THIS WILL STAY ON MY CAR.. I WILL GET A LOT OF USE OUT OF THIS..
I purchased both the parts of the tow system. I just purchase a Jeep Grand Cherokee (99) to pull behind our motorhome for week end trips. We just returned from the first week-end with access to a vehicle to move around the area, and short trips to town. It adds a wonderful dimension to the experience. This system allowed us to pull this vehicle with our motorhome, and I can say it pulled as if there was nothing behind me. It was quick to hook up, and easy to un-hook. My labor time to install was about 2 1/2 Hours, and went smoothly. This is a wonderful product, and works as desired. I have attached photos of the After installation, and the camp-site we stayed at, (proving we made it)

Blue Ox Ascent Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 7,500 lbs
Although I haven’t used tow bar yet I know it will just be great. Having had 2 others which I sold with motorhomes which preformed well. I am anxious to see how easy to disconnect with no binding.
We haven't tried it yet, but it's a lot lighter than our old blue ox tow bar. Hope to us it this spring.

Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs
Replaced an older Blue Ox with this one. This one is a big improvement and it never gets gets jammed up such that the hitch pin is difficult to remove. Highly recommended! One note: you may need to use a drop hitch receiver to get the tow bar arms as close to parallel to the ground as they are supposed to be. Read the instructions and do some measuring to stay safe!
Still working perfectly! Much easier to use than the old style tow bar we had. This thing is very sturdy and very easy to use. Highly recommended!
WALTER B - 12/27/2021worked as advertised, installation is the same labor as other tow bars. The Avail tow bar is sturdy and able to tow my 7K lbs vehicle.

Blue Ox Allure Non-Binding Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2-1/2" Lunette Ring - 10,000 lbs
I needed a 10k tow bar to tow my 2003 Dodge 3500 4x4 on occasion. I purchased to bracket, tow bar and 2 5/16" coupler. So I've got about $1600 invested in a hitch that bent in half on its second use. After several phone calls with Blue Ox we were able to have replacement parts sent for me to make repairs if I sent the damaged parts back. Well I haven't used it since the incident and will probably never use it again. So in short I wouldn't recommend a Blue Ox hitch to do any type of towing. I have been using Roadmaster products on my cars for the last 3 years with absolutely no problem. I guess I should have just broke down and used the motorhome mount 10k hitch they offer.
I upgraded to the Allure tow bar from a Blue Ox Acclaim. I'm very satisfied with the performance of the Allure. I tow commercially and was going through an Acclaim tow bar every 15 months or so. Upgrading to the Allure should give me greater longevity and provides me with greater distance between my tow vehicle and the vehicle I'm driving. My one comment that I have is that I have to disassemble, clean, lubricate and adjust the tow bar every time I come home from towing. the extendible arms are will develop heavy rust in short order if you don't lubricate often. I use marine grade waterproof grease. Live any device proper maintenance preserves it's lifespan.

etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate - 2" RV Mount - 10.5K
The product is great. It was delivered in a timely manner. Thanks so much. I have also bought some other products from etrailer and service has been great.
I think that you still owe me for some of the parts that I returned. I still need the cover for the hitch when it is not being used. I like my tow bar it works well and would recommend you and your product to others.

Curt Rambler Steel Tow Bar for Curt and Blue Ox Base Plates - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 7,500 lbs
We were new to owning a clase and towing a vehicle. And when we read reviews on a number of the other competitors to include blue ox, The curt Tobar did absolutely great. We’ve been towing now for over a year. If I had to say one thing about it that I didn’t like which is kind of nitpicking is that the identification sticker, Curt Tobar started to peel off relatively soon after we had taken it on a number of trips. Of course this did not affect the towing bar at all. But I’m kind of a stickler for things like that. Other Nat always great.
This tow bar is perfect for my Motorhome and vehicle set up. It's a bit expensive, but it is a well made product.

Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 6,000 lbs
Great product
I purchased a 2019 Chevy Traverse because it was towable. To my dismay, roadmaster did not have a baseplate designed for this vehicle. I waited for some time and then found that blue ox had a baseplate. I loved my previous roadmaster towbar, and was pleased to find that this towbar came with the blue ox connectors. I have been very pleased with how easy it is to hook up and un hook the toad. This is much better than my previous car mount towbar. I would highly recommend this towbar.
The towbar still functions flawlessly. The connector arms still slide in and out very easily. The unit just works, and works well. I will still highly recommend this towbar.

Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 10K
If you are looking for a great tow bar, the BlackHawk 2 for you. I have an older Roadmaster (10) years old and it was still working great but we got a larger tow close to 6k so the 10k looked good. EZ to hook and EZ to unhook plus I like the Non-Binding.
After a year on the road, this has worked well. The Non-Binding has never failed to get me unhooked. Before I unhook I wipe the rods down with cleaner and lube, hope to have this one 10 years.
Floyd H - 02/02/2018Towing a Wrangler 4 door behind my motorhome, have gone 20K miles now and no issues, i am not using the cross bar as my vehicle mount does not require that. Due to the road dust and everything it gets quite dirty of course. It has been working well along, easy enough to connect. If you have to disconnect on a hill it gets a bit tricky to unlatch and such, but just takes practice.
A year later it is still all good, getting dirty is all. Mechanism and joints still function well.

Now in the 2018 Ford Edge, when it's being flat-towed, it requires the key to be in the on position.

Blue Ox Tow Bar Installation - 2014 Ford Edge
Today on our 2014 Ford Edge, we're going to be installing the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar with a motor home mount and rated for 6500 pounds. Part number BX7365. We're here at the back of our motor home. We're going to need to insert the tow bar into our receiver hitch here. Go ahead and line up the hole, slide the pin through, and put the clip on it as well. You may notice that this particular motor home already has a rise. It's about a four inch rise receiver that's added to it.
Works well. Took a 45 daytrip out west without any problem. I love the fact that I can hook up my jeep to my RV without assistance.
