Question:

what is the difference between a bx1698 and bx1695

asked by: James R

Helpful Expert Reply:

The only difference between the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1698 & # BX1695 which is NLA from the manufacturer, is that # BX1698 will work with the RS models of the Chevrolet Cruze, whereas # BX1695 will not.

For your 2012 Chevrolet Cruze, the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1698 will work great for you.

If you're looking for a complete flat tow setup, you're also going to need:

-A set of tow bars like # e47ZR.

-A braking system like # RM-9060.

-A wiring kit like # RM-152-98146-7.

&

You're probably also going to need a high-low adapter like # RM-048-4 to make up for the height difference from your toad and tow vehicle, and to keep your tow bars within the safe zone while towing.

I have attached a FAQ for you to check out that goes into a bit more detail on this, and I've also attached a webpage containing all of our high-low adapters.
