Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar on the 2013 MINI Clubman. Now this is a great well-known tow bar with pretty good capacities. This one's rated at 6,500 pounds, which is plenty for our Cooper, but if you ever move up to a larger flat towed vehicle down the road, this is gonna hold up to that 6,500 pounds, which really opens up the window as to what you can tow. Now, things that I always recommend to people are is gonna be a non-binding tow bar, and this is one of them. And what that means is when you flat tow your vehicles, the arms will extend and lock into place and that's what they're supposed to do. The hard part is, is when you're ready to unhook your vehicle, sometimes these arms can bind if you're not on perfectly flat level ground. more

And your base plate's gonna give you your mounting points for the rest of the components and bolt up to the frame of the vehicle, and make it safe enough to tow down the road. It's also gonna be your connection point to your tow bar, which is your second component, and that's gonna be the connection point between the hitch on the RV and your base plate. more

A Closer Look at the Demco Dominator Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at the Demco Dominator Tow Bar with Blue Ox ends. When it comes to getting a base plate for your vehicle, there's quite a few different options as far as brands that you may be able to pick from, and a lot of times people think that you have to get a specific tow bar to match that base plate, and that's not the case. In fact, today we have a Blue Ox base plate on our Jeep Grand Cherokee, but a Demco tow bar. And the difference is you can pick this Demco tow bar up with Blue Ox ends and be able to attach. And once you find a tow bar with matching ends, some of the other things that you want to consider are going to be weight capacity and also getting a non-binding tow bar. So first thing, our weight capacity on this tow bar comes in, and I would say a medium duty with 7,500 pounds, which is gonna be plenty for our Jeep Grand Cherokee, but if you ever plan on moving to a larger vehicle, as long as you stay underneath that 7,500 pounds, you should be good. more

In-Depth Review of the etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox and Curt Base Plates

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the etrailer XHD tow bar with Blue Ox Ends. When choosing a tow bar for your flat-towed vehicle, there's a few things you want to consider, but two things that you want to definitely make sure are going to work are having the proper ends for the base plate and also having the proper capacity. The XHD is a heavy-duty tow bar, so our capacity with this is going to be 10,500 pounds, which is more than enough for our Grand Cherokee today. But also, if you ever plan on moving up to a maybe heavier vehicle, we're seeing a lot of 3/4-ton trucks, this is gonna be a great option, especially if you have that Blue Ox base plate. Their tabs are a little bit different than some of the other manufacturers, and that's where ordering the tow bar with those ends will make it work properly with your base plate. Something else that I always recommend is getting a non-binding tow bar, and what that means is when you start to tow, your arms will extend out and lock, and that's what it's supposed to do. more

Hello, neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at the Blue Ox Apollo Tow Bar on a 2021 Ford F-250. Many times I'll see F-250s either pulling smaller vehicles around. If this is their work truck and they want to have a small get-around car while on the job site, you're gonna see a tow bar attached to that vehicle. And something to consider with the larger 3/4-ton Fords is many times they're gonna have a 2 1/2-inch hitch and that leaves you to have to get a tow bar that matches up to that. You don't want to get a reducer or anything like that. So, the Apollo comes in as a very heavy duty tow bar, but also 2 1/2 inch for that shank to fit into your hitch with no problem. more
