Question:
I have a Blue Ox Avail tow bar. Will that fit this base plate? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2258 that you referenced is compatible with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar part # BX7420. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
For lighting I would recommend the custom install kit part # HM56304 which will install by plugging inline with the taillight harnesses you have on your vehicle. Install video for this attached as well.
And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
Most likely you will also need a high low adapter so that the tow bar will be level when you are flat towing. I attached a link to a page that has all of the ones we carry.
I have included a couple of helpful links to our articles on flat towing for you. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners
