Question:
Hi, I came into a Blue Ox tow bar, model #BX4330. I dont want to take it from the guy if I cant use it the way I would like and let him give it to someone else. Im looking for matching base plates to fit a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge with tow hooks. All the Blue Ox base plates Im able to find require trimmingfoot the bumper fascia. I do NOT want to cut or hackfoot the fascia to make a base plate work. I would prefer base plates similar to the Roadmaster 477-1 that require no such fascia mods. Do they make such Blue Ox base plates for my truck and if so, do you carry them? Thanks,

Blue Ox does not make such base plates for your 2004 Ford Ranger but I do have a solution for you.
You can actually use the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit # 477-1 on your '04 Ranger Edge with tow hooks along with your Blue Ox Acclaim Tow Bar # BX4330.
All you need is the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033 and Quick Disconnect Kit # RM-201.
