Question:

Will the acclaim bx4330 tow bar fit a blue ox base plate for a Chevy hhr

asked by: Jeff Y

Expert Reply:

The only compatible Blue Ox baseplate for a 2011 Chevy HHR is the # BX1692, which has a bracket spacing of 22". The Blue Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX4330 requires a spacing of 23" - 30" so it will not be compatible with the baseplate.

The next closest option in price and functionality is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar is a bit more than the # BX4330, but comes with quite a bit more features to make up for the higher price point.

It will come with safety cables included, which are attached to the arms so you never have to worry about them dragging. The head and shank are both adjustable to help keep the tow bar level instead of you having to purchasing a hitch adapter with a rise or drop. The arms are self support and can be locked in place on the back of your RV for easy storage as well. I've attached a short review video below where Brad will take you through the features and show you how to use this tow bar.
