Compatibility of Ascent Tow Bar and Blue Ox Base Plates for 2017 Chevrolet Spark LS

Updated 06/30/2021 | Published 06/26/2021

Question:

I am in the process of purchasing a 2017 Chevrolet Spark LS to use as a towed vehicle behind my motorhome. I’m prepared to purchase your Blue Ox baseplate, item BX1725, for this vehicle but I noticed the list of suitable Blue Ox tow bars does not include the Ascent model. As I already own this tow bar I want to make certain that it is not somehow incompatible. I believe the Ascent is a relatively new model and perhaps it simply hasn’t yet “made the list”. Will it work? Thank you.

The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, # BX1725, a confirmed fit for the 2017 Chevrolet Spark (Manual transmission - excluding ACTIV), will work with the Ascent Tow Bar # BX4370. Please note the attached installation video of these base plates being installed on a 2017 Chevy Spark.

Please let me know if you've any questions about installation of wiring or supplemental braking for your new tow vehicle. We have a lot of help articles, product review and installation videos available. Happy Camping!
