Question:

I recently purchased a Blue Ox Apollo tow bar with a 15K lb capacity. Reading the Operator’s Manual, there is reference on the last page to a 2” optional hitch connector, item # 84-0234. A footnote says using this connector will reduce the Apollo’s capacity from 15K lb to 12.5K lb. Looking at items on your website, the closest thing I find is part Nr BLU95CR. Is this the same item? If so, why does your website state the capacity is 10K lb? If not the same item, can you point me to the correct item? Thank you,

For the Blue Ox Apollo part # BX7470 that you have the only hitch adapter we have for it to convert it to a 2 inch hitch is the part # BLU95CR which does have a 10k weight capacity.
