Blue Ox BX88154 Tow Bar Hardware is a top-of-the-line towing solution that ensures a secure connection between your vehicle and any trailer or caravan. Known internationally for its quality, Blue Ox offers a comprehensive range of towing products designed to meet your recreational or commercial needs. This particular product is finished with a powder coat for added durability and features a '1765' specification, making it a reliable and robust choice for all your towing needs.
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 BX88154 is a replacement connection end kit for Blue Ox tow bars. It replaces existing connection ends with offset triple lugs that allow the tow bar to pivot for easier hooking and unhooking. The kit includes two offset triple lugs, washers, hex bolts, jam nuts, pins, and quick pin assemblies.
The manual states the kit replaces existing connection ends on your tow bar but does not specify which tow bar models are compatible. Contact Blue Ox customer service at (402) 385-3051 or consult your tow bar documentation to confirm compatibility before purchasing.
The kit includes: 2 offset triple lugs (299-0736), 4 washers 0.51 x .523 ID x 1.375 OD (290-0381), 2 hex bolts 1/2-13 x 2" (201-0645), 2 jam nuts 1/2-13 Essna (202-0143), 2 pins 1/2 x 2 5/8" (229-0520), and 2 quick pin assemblies (62-3213).
You need a 3/4" wrench. The manual specifies using a 3/4" wrench to hold the bolt and another 3/4" wrench to tighten the nut during installation.
The manual instructs to lay the tow bar on a work surface and remove existing connections, but does not explicitly state whether the tow bar must be removed from the vehicle. For safety and ease of access, contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to confirm the recommended installation location.
Insert the offset triple lug so that the UP decal is to the outside of the tow bar legs and the arrow is pointing the proper direction. The manual does not define what 'proper direction' means; refer to Figure 2 or contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 for clarification on your specific tow bar.
1. Insert the 1/2-13 x 2" hex bolt through the first hole of the pivot connection on the tow bar leg. 2. Slide one 0.51 x .523 ID x 1.375 OD washer onto the bolt. 3. Slide the offset triple lug onto the bolt. 4. Slide another washer onto the bolt. 5. Push the bolt through the second hole of the pivot connection. 6. Install the 1/2-13 Essna jam nut.
The manual does not provide a numeric torque specification. Instead, it instructs to tighten the nut with a 3/4" wrench until the nut is secure but the offset triple lug is still able to pivot for easy hooking and unhooking. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 for a specific torque value if needed.
Yes. After tightening the nut, the offset triple lug must still be able to pivot for easy hooking and unhooking of the tow bar. If it does not move, the nut is over-tightened; loosen it slightly until smooth pivoting is restored.
Use the 1/2 x 2 5/8" pin (part 229-0520) and quick pin assembly (part 62-3213) included in the kit. The manual explicitly states: do not substitute any other devices if the tow bar pins and clips are misplaced.
The manual does not state whether existing bolts can be reused. It does specify that replacement bolts must be Grade 5 (in most cases) and the same grade as the original. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 to confirm whether your existing bolts meet these requirements.
Using non-genuine or homemade parts, or substituting other devices for the specified pin and quick pin assembly, will void the manufacturer's warranty. For your safety and the preservation of your baseplate, use only genuine factory replacement parts and the exact components specified in the kit.
Yes. Towing behind a non-motorized vehicle voids the warranty on the BX88154 kit and your baseplate.
Failing to follow and/or altering the installation instructions in either installation or required equipment will void the manufacturer's warranty. Follow all steps exactly as written.
The BX88154 is a replacement connection end kit for Blue Ox tow bars, but the manual does not specify which models are compatible. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 or check your tow bar documentation to confirm fitment.
You need a 3/4" wrench to hold the bolt and tighten the nut. No other special tools are required.
Yes, it must pivot. Tighten the nut until secure but the lug still moves freely for easy hooking and unhooking. If it does not move, loosen the nut slightly.
Use the 1/2 x 2 5/8" pin and quick pin assembly included in the kit. Do not substitute other devices.
Yes. Use only genuine Blue Ox replacement parts and the exact components specified. Using homemade or non-typical parts voids the warranty.
