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. Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended and are included with the BX1735 (part numbers 226-0049 for Class IV Safety Cables and 229-0512 for 1/2" Quicklinks). The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame and must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. These cables are in addition to, not a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
No. If the baseplate is involved in an accident, it must be replaced and cannot be reused. An accident can cause unseen damage, and using it again could result in more damage or serious injury.
Before reinstalling the fascia, ensure that all electrical connections are plugged in and accessories are functioning properly. The fascia should be held as close to its original position as possible, and it must be marked and trimmed around the convenience links and attachment tabs before reinstallation.
It is the owner's responsibility to inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts before each towing trip. Be sure to use Loctite Red on all bolts and tighten to the recommended specifications. The attachment tabs should be removed when not in use.
Yes. You should register your BX1735 baseplate online at www.blueox.com. Registration is crucial so that you may be alerted of product offerings, updates, upgrades, maintenance and safety bulletins, and/or recalls.

To be valid, the customer warranty card must be returned within 30 days of purchase, and a copy of the original invoice showing date and place of purchase must accompany any warranty claim. The warranty is non-transferable.
The warranty does not cover incorrect or improper installation, improper use, modification or neglect, failure to properly service and maintain, misuse, accident, normal wear and tear, paint or rust, or loss of use, time, inconvenience, or consequential damages. The warranty is also void if the baseplate is used beyond the vehicle's GVWR or if it is reused after an accident.

Before each towing trip, inspect the baseplate for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts. Ensure all bolts are torqued to specification with Loctite Red. Remove attachment tabs when not in use.
The fascia must be marked and trimmed around the convenience links and attachment tabs before reinstallation. Hold the fascia as close to its original position as possible and trim as needed. If trimming does not resolve the fit, verify that all baseplate bolts are torqued correctly and that the baseplate is positioned as high and as far forward as possible, as specified in the installation steps.
After the baseplate is installed, hold the plastic shroud in place, mark, and trim as needed around the baseplate before reinstalling. The shroud may require trimming to clear the baseplate and its mounting hardware.
Ensure you are using Loctite Red on all bolt threads before tightening. Tighten all bolts to the appropriate torque specification from the torque chart. Inspect all bolts before each towing trip and retighten if necessary. Failure to use Loctite Red and proper torque is a common cause of bolt loosening.
