In regards to the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BLU49FR which is a fit for a 2022 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, you do have to trim the fascia to allow the tabs to protrude through but this is standard practice for the vast majority of base plate kits and everyone for this vehicle. That said, you're only trimming a small portion. The instructions indicate to hold the fascia up to the vehicle with the base plate installed and make your marks that way to ensure as little material as possible is removed.

Good question. The Blue Ox Base Plate #BLU37UR for the 2023 Ford F-250 does indeed come with a pair of cables. These cables are actually part of the installation hardware, and are not the tow bar safety cables. The included cables are called…

Longer arms will simply place the towed vehicle further back giving you a bit more turning clearance. That being said, the difference is so small you probably wouldn't really see any benefit. When I recommend tow bars, or any other product for…
