Question:

Hi I have a Blue-Ox Model BX7365 that I used on my jeep. I’m now setting up a 2013 Dodge Tradesman Quad cab curb weight is 5226. Can I still use this tow bar with the truck? Can you also recommend a base plate for

Expert Reply:

Yes, you can still use your Blue Ox Alpha 2 Non-Binding Tow Bar item # BX7380 with a 2013 Dodge 1500 Tradesman Quad Cab. It has to be 4WD though. You can not flat-tow a 2WD 2013 Dodge 1500 no matter what trim you have. If you have 4WD you are good to go and will need the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit item # BX2409. This base plate kit has removable arms but will require you to trim into your bumper fascia.

Since you are changing vehicles you will also need a new wiring kit. I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267.
