Enhance your towing experience with the robust Blue Ox BX1660 Tow Bar Bracket. This custom-designed base plate is crafted for each specific towed vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum safety. Made from high-quality steel and coated with a durable black powder finish, this bracket is built to withstand the toughest of conditions.

Each purchase of this tow bar bracket includes all the necessary hardware, along with easy-to-follow instructions for a do-it-yourself installation.
Blue Ox is known internationally for recreational and commercial towing products, manufacturing in Pender, Nebraska since 1925. The line covers tow bars and vehicle-specific baseplates for flat towing behind a motorhome, sway control and weight distributing hitches, supplemental braking accessories and towing wiring, backed by patented designs and long-standing customer service.
Blue Ox has manufactured since 1925 and is recognised internationally for towing products and customer service. The company operates from Pender, Nebraska, where it grew out of Automatic Manufacturing Co., a business that started with cattle oilers and developed into agricultural equipment, tractor accessories and trailer towing hardware. That agricultural engineering heritage still shows in how the towing products are built, and the company holds patents across weight distribution, fifth wheel and tow bar designs.
Flat towing is the discipline Blue Ox is best known for. Towing a car with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome demands a system that stays rigid under braking, articulates properly over uneven ground, and connects to the towed vehicle at points strong enough to take the load. Blue Ox tow bars handle the first two, with self-aligning arms that latch under tension and release without a struggle when the load is off them. Vehicle-specific baseplates handle the third, engineered per make and model to tie into structural mounting points behind the fascia.
The wider flat towing range covers supplemental braking systems, safety cables and the accessories that make a complete legal setup, along with baseplate wiring and dinghy towing harnesses that pass lighting signals to the towed vehicle without back-feeding its electrical system.
For conventional trailer towing, Blue Ox weight distributing hitches with integrated sway control transfer tongue load onto the tow vehicle's front axle and resist the yaw that crosswinds and passing trucks induce.
The company describes its foundation as customer service, designing around what owners actually ask for, and it runs an RV park adjacent to the factory where customers can stay. Sister operations at the same Nebraska site include Automatic grain roller mills and MAD-RAMPS pivoting ramp systems.

Yes, the tow hooks must be removed before baseplate installation. Using an 18MM socket, remove the three metric bolts from each tow hook on both sides, pull the tow hooks forward, and set them aside. The tow hooks will not be reinstalled.
No trimming is required. However, some models may require the holes in the frame to be reamed slightly to acquire proper fit. Using a 1/2" reaming tool, ream out the back existing hole on the bottom of the frame rail.
Use a 21/32" drill bit to ream out the back existing hole on the bottom of the frame rail.
The manual states you must ensure the proper baseplate is in the correct side and references the last page for correct hole placement for the bottom of frame on driver's side and passenger's side. The driver's side baseplate is part number 61-6095 and the passenger's side is 61-6096. Refer to the diagram on the final page of the manual for correct positioning.
The attachment tabs are 32 1/4 inches center to center and have a height of 16 1/2 inches.
For the side of the frame rail: insert two 1/2-13 x 1 1/4" hex bolts with lock washers into the existing holes and tighten with a 3/4" socket on both sides. For the front hole on the bottom of the frame rail: insert a 1/2-13 x 2" hex bolt with a 1/2" lock washer and tighten with a 3/4" socket on both sides. For the back hole on the bottom of the frame rail: insert a 5/8-11 x 2" hex bolt with 5/8" lock washers and tighten with a 15/16" socket on both sides. All bolts are Grade 5 zinc-plated.
The manual states that all bolts must be tightened according to the Torque Chart in the General Instruction sheet, which is not included in this document. Contact Blue Ox or your dealer for the specific torque values.
Yes, you must use Loctite Red on all bolts before tightening them. This is required for all fasteners used in the baseplate installation.
1. Remove the tow hooks using an 18MM socket (three metric bolts per side). 2. Ream out the back existing hole on the bottom of the frame rail using a 21/32" drill bit. 3. Slide the driver's side and passenger's side baseplates into the frame rail to align with existing holes. 4. Insert and tighten the 1/2-13 x 1 1/4" hex bolts in the side frame holes using a 3/4" socket. 5. Align the convenience link and insert the 1/2-13 x 2" hex bolt in the front hole, tightening with a 3/4" socket. 6. Insert and tighten the 5/8-11 x 2" hex bolt in the back hole using a 15/16" socket. 7. Apply Loctite Red to all bolts and tighten to specification. 8. Install the tow bar and safety cables per their instructions.
The manual notes that dimensional variations between otherwise identical vehicles can be considerable. While the baseplate was designed for easy installation, it may be necessary to tailor the baseplate slightly to compensate for manufacturer tolerances. These minor adjustments may include filing holes slightly, bending electrical rods, adding shims, and/or bending endplates.
Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar. The cables prevent the towed vehicle from breaking loose if the connection between the frame and baseplate fails. The BX1660 kit includes two 36" Class IV baseplate safety cables. These cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member and must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. Permanent safety cables are to be used in conjunction with, and are not a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
No. Do not mount the permanent baseplate safety cables against wires, hoses, or brake lines. If the baseplate is improperly installed and is against a wire or hose, it could cause fluid leaks or electrical shorts some time after the actual baseplate installation.
Before each towing trip, inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the recommended specifications using Loctite Red.
Yes, it is crucial to register your BX1660 online at www.blueox.com so that you may be alerted of product offerings, updates, upgrades, maintenance and safety bulletins, and/or recalls.
Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost. Contact Blue Ox or your dealer to obtain replacement parts.
Use only Grade 5 bolts for replacement. If a bolt is lost or needs replacement, use a replacement bolt of the same grade (usually Grade 5) for your safety and the preservation of your baseplate. Repair parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox dealer or distributor.
No. Use only genuine factory replacement parts on your baseplate. Do not substitute homemade or nontypical parts. For your safety and the preservation of your baseplate, all replacement parts must be genuine Blue Ox components.
The BX8869 is available for the vehicle, and the manual shows its location on the driver's side tail light assembly. However, the manual does not provide detailed information about what the BX8869 is or when it should be used. Contact Blue Ox or your dealer for more information.
