Question:
Do you offer an app to enter a VIN to see if my vehicle can be flat towed? Thanks in advance Perry

That would be really cool but that's not something we offer. If you have a copy of the owners manual in your glove compartment (or you can find it online typically too) you can flip to the index and look for recreational towing under the towing section and in that section you'll find out if your vehicle is flat towable and if so what procedure you need to follow. If you can flat tow your vehicle the Blue Ox Avail part # BLU78QV that you referenced is a really great option!

Hey Perry, were you able to check your owner’s manual to see if your vehicle can be flat towed? Knowing what you found could help others trying to confirm their own towing setup.
