Question:

I have a Falcon All Terrain tow bar and a 2004 Mini Cooper and Im looking for a tow plate to install. I like the Blue Ox plate, looks very easy to install, but It does not look like the Falcon two bar will work with that tow plate out of the box, is there an adapter?

Helpful Expert Reply:

To connect your Falcon All Terrain tow bar to the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1303 on your 2004 Mini Cooper you need the Brackets Adapter # RM-031. These replace the barrel-style ends of your tow bar and give you the ends that match up with the prongs on the Blue Ox.

Attached is an installation video of the Blue Ox base plate kit on a 2004 Mini Cooper for you to check out.

For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
