Question:

I am wanting to use Maximus-3 Tow Loops for flat towing my Gladiator. The loops are 1” wide 7/8” pin. Can I use this part, with the use of washers, to take care of the play?

Expert Reply:

The Blue Ox adapter for aftermarket off-road bumpers, part # BX88357, are designed to fit on loops that are on a bumper but there's no reason that can't be used on a tow loop like your Maximus-3 Loops. I did a little research and those are rated for towing so this should be a good setup for you. You can use the included washers to take care of the play.

To use these you need to have either the Aladdin, Aventa LX, or Alpha, part # BX7380, for your tow bar.

If you don't already have a braking system or wiring for the Gladiator I recommend the Demco braking systems along with the # RM-15267 wiring. Use the Demco Stay-IN-Play DUO, part # SM99251, if the motorhome has hydraulic brakes or the Air Force One, part # SM99243 if it has air brakes.
