Hi Mike!
The Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar - RV Mount - 2" Hitch - 10,000 lbs # BLU28QV is the new version of the Avail # BX7420. I wasn't sure what the difference was either, so I asked Blue Ox. They said the only difference between them is the color. They went from the bronze color with the # BX7420 to a grey color with the new # BLU28QV. Other than that they are the exact same tow bar.
Blue Ox is discontinuing the bronze colored # BX7420 and will be only selling the grey model from here on out. Unless they decide to change the color again, of course.
What vehicle are you wanting to tow with this tow bar?
