Question:
I am trying to decide what baseplate would work if I have a blue ox tow bar. Does it have to be Blue Ox or can it be universal. 2005 F250 super duty crew cab short bed. Thanks

Expert Reply:
You do not have to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2177 on your 2005 Ford F-250 if you don't want to. However, you will need an adapter to use a Blue Ox tow bar with a different base plate brand. For example, if you would rather use the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # 4403-1 with removable arms all you need is the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster EZ5, MS, and MX Base Plates Adapter Brackets # BX88185.
