Replacement Tabs For Blue Ox Base Plates on 2020 Ford Ranger
Updated 02/28/2024 | Published 02/20/2024 >
Question:
Bought Blue Ox base plates for my 2020 Ford Ranger in 2020. Yesterday, during a trip, one broke off the vehicle damaging the Blue Ox tow bar and the underside of my vehicle. Fortunately the other one held and we were able to pull over. Both bolts sheared off on the passenger side. Anyway to purchase one?

I'm sorry to hear about that Robert; thank goodness one of the arms held. As far as purchasing one are you referring to the arms for the base plate? If so, arms aren't sold individually, they do come in a pair, the Replacement Attachment Tab Assemblies # BLU57XR.

My question was about the base plates. One of my Blue Ox base plates failed and cause the system to fail. Can I buy just the driver side for my 2020 Ford Ranger?
