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…

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…

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…
Extra reach makes hookups cleaner on rigs that need a bit more slack. At 84 inch long, you can route the cables to avoid sharp bends and reduce the chance of dragging. Choose coiled to help stay off the pavement or go straight for simple routing, and remember the weight capacity is listed for the pair so you can match the set rating to your load.
The capacity is for the pair. For example, a 7,500 lbs set equals 3,750 lbs per cable. Pick a set whose listed rating covers your load when used together. If you're mixing components, verify each piece meets your needed capacity.
Yes. For an 8000 lb setup, a 10,000 lbs safety cable set was confirmed fine. Match the set rating to your trailer weight. Verify your application allows cables in place of chains, and route them so they don't drag.
Coiled cables help keep slack up and reduce dragging, but if they do drag they can be ruined, where a chain may only chafe. Plan your routing and attachment points to keep them off the ground. If contact is likely, a chain may suit that use better.
They can, but a thick hitch plate can keep a spring-loaded keeper from closing. A 15,000 lbs set had a larger hook that allowed the keeper to spring closed on a thick baseplate. Check hook size and opening against your hitch slots before choosing.
