Question:
How would this KarGard hold up in the Colorado cross winds. Wouldnt the side winds play havoc on the KarGard ??

Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox KarGard Towed Vehicle Protector # BX8870 will absolutely hold up in the Colorado crosswinds and there are a couple of reasons why.
The first is that the KarGard is designed from what is called polyethylene, which is a thermoplastic that allows it to be flexible and thus more aerodynamic as you drive. The other reason is how securely it attaches to your tow bar. The KarGard # BX8870 secures to your tow bar with U-bolts and a locking rod that will keep it firmly in place.
I have added a link to an installation video of the KarGard for you to take a look at so you can see exactly how it will install.
