Can you send me the specs. including all dimensions, on the Blue Ox Adapter Base # BX1964 so that I can determine if it will fit on a 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder

Expert Reply:

Only the manual transmission version of the 2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder can be flat towed as is, however there are no base plates offered for your vehicle. I confirmed this with both Blue Ox and Roadmaster. The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit that you referenced, part # BX1964 for the 2003 Eclipse Spyder, is not a fit for the 2005 model year. We cannot recommend using a base plate for a vehicle for which it was not intended.

Your vehicle owner's manual will indicate if the vehicle can be dolly towed (front wheels on the dolly, rear wheels on the ground). If this is permissible for your vehicle you might consider the RoadMaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes, part # RM-2050-1.
