Hey Thomas, the Blue Ox Avail tow bar part #BX7420 would be a really great option. It's very easy to use and has longer arms which allows the towed vehicle to track a little better behind the tow vehicle. Now if you wanted a braking system that…
Hey Tom, yes the 2014 Ford Edge with the V6 engine is a great vehicle for flat towing. It's perfectly safe to do so as long as you follow the outlined instructions on how that are in the owners manual. The first thing you'll need to flat tow…
Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…
Hey Terry, the Blue Ox Avail BX7421 our part number #BLU28QV is the current version of the Avail whereas the 7420 was the initial version. Only real difference is the finish. The 7421 has a newer finish that's a bit more durable but other than…
When it comes to choosing between the Blue Ox Patriot #BLU37TR and the Brake Buddy Select 3 #HM39524, these systems are extremely similar in their setup and functionality. Both of these systems provide proportional braking in a compact and easy to…
Hey Rick, the correct adapter to from a Blue Ox base plate like the part #BX2253 to a Demco tow bar would be the part #DM9523041 and you'd be set. Do you have the rest of your flat towing setup picked out already as well?
Hey Jim; the Curt RVibrake Shadow 2 #RVI94FR is not compatible with your 2026 Maverick. Initially it was listed as a fit but Curt/Lippert came out with an exclusion list that includes the Maverick Hybrid. Right now it is listed as 2022-2025 but it…
Hey Kirt, Congrats on the new car! To get your car safe to flat tow you'll need the following parts: Base-Plate #RM39FR Tow-Bar Adapter #RO64FR Lighting #RM-15267 Chargeline #RM-156-25 Air-Force One Vehicle Side #SM99209 and Hose #SM99666 (if you…
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…
Hey Kevin, welcome back! You are correct, since you have ParkSense on your 2026 Rubicon the #RM-152 is not the correct wiring kit. What you need instead is the Roadmaster Smart Diode Kit for Variable Voltage LED Tail Lights #RM47ZR. This will get…
Hey Steve, thanks for reaching out! The Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit #RM87NQ fits your 2025 Ford Maverick as long as it's the Hybrid model that doesn't have the engine block heater. It doesn't come with the 6-Pin connector,…
Hello Chris, You can run the Patriot off an auxiliary 12V battery, but it’s not something I’d recommend as a long-term solution. The unit is designed to pull from the Jeep battery, and the draw is actually pretty low. If your battery is going dead…
Easy place to shop. Fast delivery and great products. Very happy with my purchase.

Tow Bars that Fit Demco Base Plates
Dial in a clean flat-tow setup with tow bars that fit demco base plates. Before you head out, match your RV's hitch receiver to the tow bar's shank size—mixing sizes can require an adapter for a proper connection.
Yes, if the tow bar fits Demco base plates, you can upgrade without replacing the base plates, often by swapping pins. Verify the connection type matches your base plate tabs. Check pin diameter and clip style. If pins don't seat smoothly, recheck tab thickness and orientation.
They provide secure towing when set up correctly. Make sure both attachment pins are fully inserted and clipped. Confirm all latches are locked and safety cables are crossed. If you feel movement, recheck pin fit and any receiver adapters you used.
Use an adapter if, for example, your RV has a 2" receiver and the tow bar is 2.5". Confirm both receiver and shank sizes before installing. Choose a properly rated reducer or adapter and the correct hitch pin. If you notice extra play, add an anti-rattle device to help reduce movement.
Yes, they're designed to fit Demco base plates. You can often keep your existing base plates and just swap the tow bar pins. Check that the attachment style and pin size match your tabs. Make sure your safety cables and wiring have enough length with the new bar.
