6-Way to 6-Way Coiled Adapter for Flat Towed Setup

Question

Question:

We have a 2001 Itasca with a 6 pin output plug. Our Versa also has a 6 wire input on the RM base plate. Ive not seen 6 to 6 except BO version with the plastic ends and not great reviews. Recommendations? It seems like all Ive located are 7 blade items. Thank you in advance

Hey Stewart, so the only option would be the Blue Ox coiled adapter part # BX8862. We've sold quite a few of these and all of the feed back has been really good. I feel very confident recommending this for you.

Hey Scott, The installations differ slightly but are pretty much the same since both the etrailer #e86YR and Blue Ox #BO84FR replace the factory tow hooks. Of the two I prefer the etrailer baseplate because it sits in just slightly more for a more…

Hey Scott! I saw you were looking at a 2024 Ford Escape so I'll answer your question based off of that. I checked with Roadmaster and all models of the 2024 Escape are listed as needing a charge line like item #RM-156-25.

Answer 9

Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…
