Ready to flat tow with Blue Ox simplicity—solid build, smooth towing, and easy hookups keep things stress-free. Pair with Blue Ox base plates, safety cables, and a supplemental braking setup for a matched system, and choose a weight rating, like a 10,000 lb option, that fits your towed vehicle. Check your RV receiver size since some setups may need a 2.5" to 2" adapter, and consider a cover for storage.
Yes, they're praised for quality, strength, and smooth towing performance. Ease of hookup and reliable, consistent operation are common positives. Some have run a Blue Ox tow bar for over 9 years before replacing, and others moved to a heavier-duty option for a sturdier feel.
Match the tow bar rating to your towed vehicle weight plus contents, and consider your RV hitch rating. Blue Ox offers 10k rated options, which some choose for added peace of mind. If your RV hitch is, for example, 8K and your SUV is 5400 lbs + contents, stepping up to a 10K tow bar and cables can make the tow bar the most robust component of the setup.
They're known for truly non-binding operation and easy hookups. Telescoping arms help make connecting to the towed vehicle straightforward and can turn it into a one person job. Fit and finish are praised, with smooth towing once you're rolling.
Blue Ox pairs perfectly with Blue Ox base plates. If you're using another brand, an adapter can fit just right. Check your RV receiver size too—if your RV has a 2" receiver and the tow bar shank is 2.5", you'll need an adapter.
