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.

The BX8848 4-Diode Wiring Kit is recommended for this vehicle. The manual does not explicitly state whether it is required or optional, so contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to confirm if it is necessary for your specific installation.
Blue Ox recommends that towing products be installed by Blue Ox Dealers who are familiar with the products and have the equipment and knowledge necessary to do fit work. Blue Ox Dealers can be found at www.blueox.com or by contacting Customer Care at (402) 385-3051. The installation involves removal of multiple vehicle components, drilling, trimming, and precise torque specifications.
The following components must be removed and reinstalled: the front fascia (5 push pins and 8 screws), the bumper (6 bolts and 4 nuts), the windshield washer fluid reservoir (2 screws), and the frame extensions on both sides (4 bolts per side). The temperature sensor must also be disconnected and relocated. All removed items should be placed on a flat, sturdy surface and will be reinstalled after baseplate installation unless otherwise noted.
Yes, drilling is required. A 3/8" drill bit is needed to drill holes through the frame extensions and frame for hardware installation. Additionally, a 1/4" hole must be drilled for optional breakaway bracket installation. The manual notes to be aware of the dangers of torque and drill bit length when using power drills.
Trimming is required in multiple locations: (1) trim off the lower plastic shielding below the bumper on both sides, (2) trim areas on the passenger side for baseplate clearance, (3) trim areas on the driver side for baseplate clearance, (4) trim the lower lip of the bumper on both sides, (5) trim the lower left corner of the washer reservoir, and (6) notch the wheel well liner as needed around the support on both sides for fascia installation. A utility knife and reciprocating saw are used for these cuts.
Yes, the trimming and drilling modifications are permanent. The manual specifies that cut edges of the frame must be painted with good quality paint to prevent rusting, indicating these are permanent alterations to the vehicle.
The manual provides general torque charts for metric and inch bolts. For Grade 5 bolts: 1/4" = 10 ft-lbs, 5/16" = 19 ft-lbs, 3/8" = 33 ft-lbs, 7/16" = 54 ft-lbs, 1/2" = 78 ft-lbs. For Grade 8 bolts: 1/4" = 14 ft-lbs, 5/16" = 29 ft-lbs, 3/8" = 47 ft-lbs, 7/16" = 78 ft-lbs, 1/2" = 119 ft-lbs. For metric Grade 8.8: 6MM = 6 ft-lbs, 8MM = 16 ft-lbs, 10MM = 31 ft-lbs. For metric Grade 10.9: 6MM = 8 ft-lbs, 8MM = 22 ft-lbs, 10MM = 40 ft-lbs. Loctite Red must be applied to all bolt threads before tightening.
The attachment tab height is 13 inches and the attachment tab width is 24 inches.
The baseplate includes a 4-pin connector, a 6-pin connector, and an electrical bracket (part 299-0685). The manual shows these components in the parts diagram but does not provide detailed wiring instructions. For complete electrical installation guidance, refer to the BX8848 4-Diode Wiring Kit instructions (recommended for this vehicle) or contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051.
The baseplate is computer tested to your vehicle's GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating). Exceeding this weight will void the manufacturer's warranty. You must reference your vehicle owner's manual for the manufacturer's towing specifications and ensure you do not exceed the GVWR.
Yes, permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended and are included with the baseplate (part 226-0046, qty. 2). The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. The cables must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. These permanent baseplate safety cables are to be used in conjunction with, and NOT as a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
If the baseplate is involved in an accident, it must be replaced. Do not use it again. An accident can cause unseen damage, and using it again could result in more damage or serious injury. Do not use the baseplate if it is damaged or missing parts.
Before reinstalling the fascia, ensure that all electrical connections are plugged in and accessories are functioning properly. This is critical because the fascia covers the electrical components and connections.
Before each towing trip, inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts. Ensure that Loctite Red is applied to all bolts and that they are tightened to the recommended torque specifications. This is the owner's responsibility.
Use a good quality paint to spray cut edges of the frame to prevent rusting. This should be done after all trimming and drilling operations are complete.
Yes, the attachment tabs should be removed when not in use.
