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 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…

Demco Tow Bar with simple pin swap
Ready for a refresh, not a rework. A Demco tow bar brings a lighter, newer feel, and the simple pin swap keeps hookup and upgrades straightforward for an easy day on the road.
Some newer Demco tow bars are lighter than older ones. If weight matters, compare the listed weight to what you have now. Pick an option that reduces lift effort while still fitting your baseplate and pin setup.
Yes, it can be possible when the new Demco tow bar fits your existing vehicle baseplate. Confirm the tow bar is compatible with your baseplate so you can simply swap out the pins. Check that your pin style and size match, and secure them with the clips as directed.
The swap can be quick if both Demco tow bars use the same baseplate connection. In that case, you can simply swap out the pins. Verify baseplate fit and make sure the retaining clips engage fully before towing.
Make sure the Demco tow bar and your baseplate use the same pin setup. When they match, you can swap out the pins and go. Inspect pin condition and confirm they seat fully with clips before each trip.
