Question:
Will a Blue Ox Baseplate BX2805 Fit my 2012 Fiat 500 pop Manual Transmission?
asked by: Kevin K
Expert Reply:
Yes, it will! The Blue Ox item # BX2805 fits both the manual and automatic transmission models of the 2012 Fiat 500 Pop.
Here are some other parts you will need to flat tow your 2012 Fiat 500 Pop:
Tow Bar and Safety Chains - Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar item # BX7380
Wiring Harness - Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit item # RM-15267
Supplemental Braking System - Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System item # HM39524
High Low Adapter - The tow bar needs to be within 3" of level. If you measure the height of the inside top of the hitch receiver tube on your RV, and the height difference is more than 3 inches above/below the base plate tab height, you'll need a high/low adapter. I have linked a FAQ article that explains all this in more detail along with our selection of adapters.
