Question:
I have an older Blue Ox BX7445 to bar and I want to purchase a Curt 70108 baseplate. What type of adaptor, if any do I need to attach the tow bar?

Expert Reply:
If your Chevrolet Equinox has a Curt # C28FR (70108) base plate kit you can install a Blue Ox tow bar without an adapter as they are compatible. Blue Ox does not recommend using their tow bars beyond 10 years for full-timers. You should probably get it in to an authorized service center for inspection.
If you decide on a new tow bar, I have provided you a link of our available tow bars. Or you can just email me back with the features you would like.
