Updated 02/03/2026 | Published 07/25/2024
Question:
I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn 5gen. I am looking for the blue ox tow base plate. When I look the web site has the BLU99FR as the correct part. Blue ox website shows a BX2417. Can you guide me on the correct part

Hey Robert, I'd be happy to help you sort things out!
The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BLU99FR we have listed on our site is the same kit as the BX2417 you're seeing on the Blue Ox site so it will fit your 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie. We list out different part numbers because we've had crossover between manufacturers in the past so it's just easier to come up with our own numbers for parts.
For a complete flat towing setup you will need a base plate kit, tow bar, safety cables, vehicle tow bar wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. If you do not have all of these components just let me know and I can make some additional recommendations for you.
