Question:

Will the Blue Ox BX1139 base plate work with a Blue Ox7365 tow bar?

asked by: Pat G

Helpful Expert Reply:

Yes. The Blue Ox # BX1139 base plates are compatible with the Blue Ox Alpha tow bar and the newer Blue Ox Alpha 2 # BX7380. A complete flat towing setup consists of base plates, a compatible tow bar, safety cables, tow bar wiring, supplemental braking and possibly a high/low adapter. It sounds like you might already have components from an existing flat towing setup, but I've gone ahead and listed the other components and my recommendations for those if you're also needing those.

-RoadMaster 68" Single Hook, Coiled Safety Cables - 6,000 lbs # RM-643
-Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267
-Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR
-12v outlet kit (required for Blue Ox Patriot) # RM-9332

I've also linked our entire selection of high/low adapters, plus a helpful article that explains how to measure to determine if one is needed for your setup to ensure that the tow bar is level for towing.
