Required in most states, safety cables add a little extra assurance that your towed vehicle won't become a runaway vehicle if breakaway occurs. Aircraft-grade steel ensures strength, and plastic coating keeps cable from scratching your tow bar.

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Blue Ox safety cables for flat towed vehicles. Now these are pretty heavy duty cables rated at 7,500 pounds. So on a vehicle like a Jeep Wrangler that should be more than sufficient to be safe. The cable has some really nice features as a plastic coating is on it so that's gonna keep it from scratching your tow bar. You also have metal keepers here that act as a spring loaded stop here. That way it's not gonna accidentally disconnect and when you do need to disconnect, you can simply just push that down and also makes hooking up super easy as well.
The coil design also keeps it up off the ground even with its 84 inches of length. This should be no problem, and that way it's not dragging. It also kind of makes it nice for when you are unhooked. It kind of coils it all together, keeping it nice and tight. Now, many tow bars don't come with cables included so this is a component that you can pick up separately that's gonna work well.
Now, if you do have cable management on your tow bar which allows your wires and all your cables to be a little bit cleaner attached to the tow bar, you're gonna want to pick up a straight cable version and that way you can kind of easily attach that to it and we have those available here at etrailer. Other than that these are gonna be a great addition when picking up an entry level tow bar that may not have the cables or if you're just replacing some old cables that have started to fray and poke you when you use them. This is gonna be an awesome option. And that was a look at Blue Ox Safety cables for flat towed vehicles.

Ratings & Reviews
Products were as expected and were delivered in a timely manner.
While there was an instruction sheet that came with the safety cables (which I didn't need), there was no instruction sheet that came with the latch handle springs (which I do need). Therefore, I don't have a clue how to install the springs and will have to take my Blue-Ox to a mechanic to have them installed
Replacements for original set, one cable damaged during entering a gas station and a recent detachment on highway. These same cables did their job and saved my toad after a locking pin sheared off and my blue ox bar detached from the coach.
I bought these for use with the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar. I found through one of the etrailer [online] videos that I would need the Safety Cables. They arrivd with the other items I ordered in less than two Days. I was surprised at the speed of delivery.
The safety cables are great.
Great product. I've towed the car behind my RV several times and have peace of mind that if something breaks, I've got great cables to prevent further damage to my car and other vehicles on the road. Thankfully I've haven't had to put them to the test, and I hope I never do.
They cable are just as described. The only issue I have are the rubber anti rattle straps. They don't last very long, just a couple of months, and the UV destroys them. I would recommend making them out of a durable plastic that lasts longer.
The cables sent were rated at 7500 lbs which was fine with me but one of the rubber clips that keep the "S" hooks from jumping off the hitch was torn and could not be used. I leave the cables on my RV hitch at all times so I used plastic cable ties cinched around the "S" hooks in place of he rubber clips at the RV. I should have spent the extra bucks and bought the 10,000 lb. with the attached spring loaded metal clips.
The safety cables work very well. They have maintained the original coil which keeps them from getting too close to the ground. The snaps are great and easy to hook and unhook. Thank you E-Trailer for handling great products.
Cables are heavy duty and well made. Springs on hook are strong and will not come apart. Coils will not drag like my old cables.

Product was great both times. After I learned to keep the cable from between the hitch and the ground the second set looked like new yesterday when I looked at them!

Great quality just as advertised
As always great!
Thank you.
My husband is very happy with the safety cables. We use them to help hitch
up our Ford Ranger behind our Motorhome when we travel.
Fast shipping as usual, great help from sell,s rep.!
Advantage in the coiled design, keeps it from dragging...until it does drag. Then cable is ruined, where a chain would only chafe. I proved it. Price is stupid.
Great fit, prompt shipping.
