Question:

Hi. I deliver Commercial trucks, by driving them and flat towing my car behind the truck. I use a Blue Ox, Motor Home Mount Tow Bar. If I need to deliver a truck that has a pintle hook on it and no receiver hitch, is there any way to make my tow bar work with it? Ive seen adapters for coupler style tow bars, but not for motor home mount style.

The only solution we have is a tow bar that uses a lunette ring designed to attach to a pintle. It might be more than you want to spend for one time use. But if you think you may run into this situation again it would be nice to have a solution.

The Blue Ox Allure Tow Bar part # BX7460P would be the tow bar to use to attach to a pintle.

With this tow bar you can also get an adapter to go back to a receiver mount like what you are currently using. For that you would want the part # BX88249. You might consider selling you current tow bar and going with the Allure and the adapter so that you'd have all your bases covered.
