Are the Blackhawk 2 Tow Bars Arms Made from Solid Steel?
Updated 08/15/2025 | Published 07/19/2025
Question:
Does the Blackhawk 2 tow bar have solid steel retractable arms. Mine came with used RV and I think it is somewhere between 12 to 14 years old. It is showing some wear on the arms at the point where the arm contacts the nylon bushing when fully extended.

Hello Jack,
Sorry for the delay in getting an answer, we had quite the spike in questions and are getting caught up.
Yes, the he BlackHawk?2 uses solid stainless-steel, telescoping inner arms that are retractable and lock automatically as you tow.
I see that you placed an order for the Roadmaster Falcon 3HD Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs # RM27NQ, these are excellent tow bars that also use the solid stainless steel arms, you will be very pleased with your purchase.
Are you new to flat towing? Do you have all the other components needed? I attached a help article on the "Must-Have Flat Towing Components," it is a great read whether you are a seasoned flat tower, or just getting started.
Did you go on your first trip in the new RV? Where did you go, or where are you going when you get things set-up?
