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 BX1670 is designed for 2006-13 Chevy Impala and 2006-07 Chevy Monte Carlo. However, dimensional variations between otherwise identical vehicles can be considerable, and minor adjustments such as filing holes, bending electrical rods, or bending end plates may be necessary to compensate for manufacturer tolerances.
No. Due to the design of the removable tabs on the BX1670, the RangeFinderII tow bar cannot be used with this baseplate.
Only the BX8833 and BX88151 adapters can be used with the BX1670 baseplate. All other adapters are not compatible.
Required tools are: 7mm socket, 10mm deep well socket, 9/16" socket, 13/32" drill bit, hack saw blade, reciprocating saw, utility knife, vise grips, and Loctite RED. A power drill is needed for drilling frame rails.
The kit includes: one weldment base plate (61-6315), eight 3/8" nut plates with wire (61-5208), eight 3/8-16 x 1 1/2" hex bolts Grade 5 (201-0440), eight 3/8" lock washers (203-0010), two #12-14 x 1" self-drilling screws (201-0979), two #10-32 x 1/2" slot round head screws (201-0192), two #10 lock washers (203-0054), two #10-32 hex nuts (202-0047), two 4-way connector adapters (101-5822), two attachment assemblies SF/LB right (62-3469), two 36" Class III baseplate safety cables (226-0046), four 3/8" quicklinks (229-0359), and two black cap plugs (290-0437).
The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is recommended for this vehicle. The manual indicates a possible location for installation on the vehicle, but does not state it is mandatory.
The fascia, horn, washer reservoir, belly pan, and air dams must be removed for installation. The air dams are not reinstalled. The grille style, belly pan, and bumper bracket are trimmed but not removed.
Remove push pins in this order: (1) two from top corners of fascia on both sides, (2) three from inside wheel well edge on both sides, (3) two metric bolts from underside of fascia just forward of front tire using 7mm socket on both sides, (4) upper metric bolt from wheel well and loosen (do not remove) lower metric bolt using 10mm deep well socket on both sides, (5) two Christmas tree push pins just forward of front tire on wheel well on both sides, (6) three push pins from bottom corner of fascia on both sides, then disconnect fog lights and pull fascia forward to remove.
On the passenger's side, disconnect and plug the washer reservoir. Remove two metric bolts from the washer reservoir and one metric bolt from the horn bracket using the 10mm socket. From the top of the washer reservoir near the battery, remove one metric bolt using the 7mm socket. Remove the reservoir. Set all bolts, horn, and reservoir aside to be reinstalled later.
Using the 10mm socket, remove three metric bolts from the bottom of the belly pan. Remove two push pins from the belly pan extensions. Pull forward on the center extension to remove the belly pan. Set belly pan and push pins aside to be reinstalled later.
Yes, drilling is required. Using the baseplate as a template, you must drill four holes into the frame rail on each side of the vehicle using a 13/32" drill bit. Be aware of the dangers of torque and drill bit length when using power drills.
Using a reciprocating saw, mark and cut the bottom of the bumper bracket so that it is flush with the bottom of the frame rail on both sides of the vehicle. This is a permanent modification.
Remove the two air dams from the belly pan (which will not be reinstalled). Hold the belly pan up to its original position and mark where the back of the belly pan extensions meet the cross tube of the baseplate. Lay the belly pan on a smooth flat surface and use a utility knife to cut the marked area, which will measure approximately 2 1/2" x 2 1/2".
Align the fascia to its original position and use a hack saw blade to trim necessary openings in the grille style for the attachment tabs. The manual provides two photos showing the trim locations for the 2006 Chevy Impala and 2006 Chevy Monte Carlo, as the trim patterns differ between these models.
No. The air dams are removed during installation and will not be reinstalled.
Attachment tab height is 13 3/4". Attachment tab width is 24".
The manual states that all bolts must be tightened according to the torque chart on the front page of the installation instructions or on page 3 of the Baseplate Towing General Instructions. However, the specific torque value for 3/8" Grade 5 bolts is not provided in the extracted manual pages. Contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 or consult the General Towing Instructions for the exact torque specification.
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, 5/8" = 154 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, 5/8" = 230 ft-lbs.
For Grade 8.8 metric bolts: 6mm = 6 ft-lbs, 8mm = 16 ft-lbs, 10mm = 31 ft-lbs, 12mm = 54 ft-lbs, 14mm = 89 ft-lbs. For Grade 10.9 metric bolts: 6mm = 8 ft-lbs, 8mm = 22 ft-lbs, 10mm = 40 ft-lbs, 12mm = 70 ft-lbs, 14mm = 117 ft-lbs.
All electrical connections must be plugged in properly and functioning before installing the fascia. This includes fog light connections and any wiring kit connections such as the recommended BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit.
The permanent baseplate safety cables prevent the towed vehicle from breaking loose in the event the connection between the frame of the towed vehicle and the baseplate fails or becomes disconnected. The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. Each cable must have an adequate weight rating for the towing system; the weight rating of the two cables together does not qualify as adequate.
Attach the permanent baseplate safety cables to the provided convenience link on the baseplate. The recommended installation secures the cables to the frame of the vehicle. Additional options may interfere with suggested mounting; in that case, secure the cables to a solid piece of the frame as described in the instructions included with the permanent baseplate safety cables. Be sure the safety cables do not rub against any hoses or moving parts. Do not mount the cables against wires, hoses, or brake lines.
No. Permanent baseplate safety cables are to be used in conjunction with, and NOT a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
If the baseplate is 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 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 torque specifications using Loctite RED. Verify that all electrical connections are plugged in properly and functioning. Ensure the safety cables do not rub against any hoses or moving parts.
Inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts before each towing trip. Use Loctite RED on all bolts and tighten to the recommended specifications. Permanent baseplate safety cables should remain installed as long as the baseplate is installed on the vehicle. Register your product online at www.blueox.com to be alerted of product offerings, updates, upgrades, maintenance and safety bulletins, and recalls.
Yes. Remove the attachment tabs when not in use (if applicable).
If the front of your vehicle looks different than the reference photo in the manual, call Blue Ox Customer Care at (402) 385-3051 for assistance.
