The Blue Ox flat towing system for the 2013 Honda Fit Sport with fog lights is the same as the 2012 model.

The Blue Ox Base Plates, part # BX2253, will fit both the 2012 and 2013 Honda Fit Sport with fog lights. These base plates would be compatible with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, part # BX7380. In addition to the base plates and tow bar, you will also need safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking.

The Alpha tow bar includes the safety cables. For a lighting solution, I'd recommend using the Hopkins # HM56302 wiring harness.

Most states now require a supplemental braking system on the vehicle being towed. One of the easiest solutions is the Blue Ox Patriot, part # BLU37TR. This is a proportional system that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. Proportional systems are the safest way to stop and they reduce wear and tear on both vehicles.

I have included a link to our series of FAQ articles on flat towing for you to review. We also recommend to read your owners manual or check with Honda regarding any other guidelines or modifications necessary so that the vehicle can be safely flat towed.
