Hey Greg, since you have a Blue Ox tow bar the correct base plate kit would be the Blue Ox part #BLU53FR. Since you said you wanted an EZ wiring lighting kit the Curt wiring harness part #C96JR would be what you want as this does not require any…
Hi George! The Demco Stay-IN-Play Duo #SM99251 will absolutely work on your 2026 Chevy Trax. Since it does not have a vacuum booster and you need to disconnect the battery when flat towing, you will need to leave the vacuum line and check valve open…
Hi Joseph, the 3,500 pound rating on part #C80136 is for each individual safety cable, not the pair. That said, the ratings are not added together, so the maximum weight of the vehicle or trailer being towed still cannot exceed 3,500 pounds. The…
I sure can Blake! I just heard back from Dexter and both of your axles are 3,500 lbs capacity. That's all the information they were able to provide. Here are the replacement parts you've requested: Hub/Drums - 5 on 4-1/2 Lug Nut Pattern item…
In addition to the base plates like the Blue Ox set you have for your 2022 Chevy Spark, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. One of the most popular compatible tow bars…
Hi Arthur, I took a look at your list of parts to flat tow your 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and it looks like you have almost everything you need! For the Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System part #BLU37TR, it plugs directly into a 12V outlet…
Hey Sharon, sounds like the 2015 Jeep Wrangler you have has a Roadmaster base plate kit installed on it currently. So that would mean you would need a Roadmaster tow bar like the Falcon 3HD part #RM27NQ that you referenced. Is there any evidence of a…
Hey Mark, great question but the current Blue Ox Patriot #BLU37TR has a hybrid mode that you would need to put it in for your 2024 Ford Maverick hybrid. This will take care of most of the initial setting issues you are concerned about but aside from…
Gladly! The difference between the Blue Ox Patriot 3 Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System BRK2019 and the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System #BLU37TR is that the Blue Ox Patriot 3 RBRK2019 is older, no longer available, and…
Hello L; to flat tow your 2026 Chevy Trax you will need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, wiring, and a supplemental brake system. I recommend the following: -Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit #RM25EQ -Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar…
The Battery Disconnect part #RM-766 installs on the positive battery wire so that when activated all power is cut for the vehicle. See attached chart. What you would need to do is install the #RM-766 after the connection you have for your Brake Buddy…
GM states in the owner's manual that to recreationally tow the vehicle, the negative battery cable must be disconnected. The owner's manual doesn't list a specific reason, it only states that failure to do so could damage the vehicle. The…
WOW! I am impressed! I called to place my order and real person answered, spoke perfect English, albeit a slight southern accent, and my order was sent within a day, shipped quickly and I had it a few days later. I saved over a hundred dollars over local and installed it my self. I cant imagine how that they could do any better. THANKS!

Safety Cables with 40 Inch Long reach
The 40 inch long size gives the slack you need for sharp turns while staying manageable. Coiled cables sit up out of the way and help prevent dragging. For best results, cross them under the coupler and check your tow vehicle's safety chain loop spacing, since wider loops can require more slack.
Yes, if they leave adequate slack in your setup. Hitch loop spacing affects how much slack you need. Hook up, back into a near jack-knife, and use a rope from trailer points to vehicle loops to confirm length. Cross the cables under the coupler and keep a little slack even at full turn to help catch the coupler if it pops loose.
Yes, they work well as replacements and can be easier to manage than chains. Confirm the combined capacity of both cables exceeds your loaded trailer weight. Make sure the hooks fit your hitch loops; if they don't, add short looped connectors at the hitch to clip the cables to.
Yes, coiled safety cables help stay up out of the way and reduce ground drag. Check that the coils retract cleanly on your trailer so they don't hang. Verify you still have enough slack for sharp turns while keeping them high.
Hooks may be described as slip or grab, and as clevis or eye. Slip vs grab refers to how the hook engages; clevis or eye describes the attachment end. An eye hook has a closed circle and is not a clevis. Check that the hook and latch fully engage your hitch loops; if not, use compatible intermediates.
