Hello Barry, great question. Yes, The Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II - 2" Hitches # BX88224 can be used for towing boat trailers and small enclosed trailers. It can be used with any 2" receiver ball mount (like part # e67DR), or any accessory shank that goes into a 2" receiver (like # e98874). It is a great option for keeping the noise to a minimum while towing.

With the large collar on the end of your receiver for your Subaru Ascent it does not appear you will be able to use the Blue Ox Hitch Receiver Immobilizer II #BX88224. Instead you can use the Gen-Y Iron Grip Anti-Rattle Hitch Pin #GY39FR with the…

Yes, anytime you extend the connection point of a tow bar like the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 with a high-low adapter or dual hitch adapter you will need to extend the safety cables. For this, I recommend the Demco Safety Cable Extensions part…

Hi Raymond! I have a couple options you may be interested in, but that's quite a conundrum. I do know there are no 4 bike racks that can hold a spare tire as well as the bikes, but you may be able to use a cargo carrier, like the 24x60 etrailer…
