Question:

I have a brand new Blue Ox tow bar, 10,000lbs for my 2001 Dodge Ram Diesel 4x4 and was wondering if the DM9517085 base plate would match up to the tow bar - or what you would recommend. Thanks

Welcome back Eric. The Demco Classic Base Plate Kit item # DM9517085 will indeed work with the 10,000 lbs Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar item # BX7420 so long as you use the Blue Ox Tow Bar Adapter Brackets for Demco Classic Base Plates item # DM9523034.

The Tow Bar Adapter Brackets item # DM9523034 are going to bolt directly to the end of the arms on your Avail Tow Bar item # BX7420. They come with all the hardware necessary to swap out your Blue Ox connections to make your tow bar compatible with the Demco Base Plate item # DM9523034 that fits your 2001 Dodge Ram Diesel.

Here are the rest of the parts you'll need to flat tow your 2001 Dodge Ram:

Wiring Harness - Roadmaster 4-Diode Universal Wiring Kit for Towed Vehicles item # RM-15267

Supplemental Braking System - Blue Ox Patriot Portable Flat Tow Brake System item # BLU37TR
