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 BX2905 is designed for 2003–2005 Land Rover Range Rover models. However, some 2005 models may not have a cross tube that 2003–2004 models have, so the removal steps vary slightly by year. Confirm your model year before ordering.
You will need: 7MM socket, 10MM socket, 16MM socket, Phillips screw driver, 13/32" drill bit, utility knife, and Loctite. The 7MM socket is used for 2005 models on the upper grill; 2003–2004 models use a 10MM socket instead.
The kit includes: 2 nut plates with 14" wire (61-5208), 1 baseplate (61-5797), 2 attachment tab assemblies (62-3469), 2 #10-32-1/2" slot round head screws (201-0192), 2 3/8"-16 x 1-1/4" hex head bolts Grade 5 (201-0368), 2 3/8"-16 x 1" hex head bolts Grade 5 (201-0443), 2 #12-14 x 1" self-drilling screws (201-0979), 2 #10-32 hex nuts (202-0047), 8 10MM-1.5 hex nuts (202-0111), 8 3/8" flat washers (203-0003), 12 1/2" flat washers (203-0005), 4 3/8" lock washers (203-0010), 2 #10 lock washers (203-0054), 8 10MM lock washers (203-0104), 1 electrical bracket (299-0685), 2 baseplate safety cables 36" Class III (226-0046), 2 3/8" quicklinks (229-0359), and 2 black receiver cap plugs (290-0437).
Yes, removal of the upper grill and front fascia is required. For 2003–2004 models, remove three 10MM bolts from the top of the upper grill and three Phillips head screws from the top of the metal bumper. For 2005 models, remove three 7MM bolts from the grill and four Phillips head screws from the bumper. You will also need to disconnect the temperature sensor from the grill and running lights from the fascia.
You must remove: one metric bolt in each wheel well (using 7MM socket or Phillips screw driver), two Phillips head screws in the opening below the metal bumper (both sides), two metric bolts from the tow hook closure (10MM socket), and four metric nuts from the cross tube below the bumper (16MM socket) plus two metric bolts from the center braces (10MM socket). Note that some 2005 models may not have the cross tube. The tubing will not be reinstalled.
Yes, drilling is required. You will use a 13/32" drill bit to drill holes in the frame on both sides. The baseplate is used as a template to mark the hole locations. This applies to all 2003–2005 models.
Yes, minor trimming of the air dam is required. For 2003–2004 models, hold the baseplate in position and trim the air dam as needed. The manual does not specify the exact amount of trimming required, as this may vary between vehicles.
1. Remove upper grill and front fascia (steps 1–2). 2. Remove fasteners from wheel wells, bumper opening, and tow hook closure (steps 3–5). 3. Remove cross tube and center braces (step 7). 4. Place three 1/2" flat washers on each lower stud (step 8). 5. For 2003–2004 models: align baseplate with studs, trim air dam as needed, set baseplate on studs, and tighten existing metric nuts. For 2005 models: use provided 10MM hex nuts and lock washers with Loctite, drill remaining holes with 13/32" bit, insert nut plates behind frame, and tighten fasteners (step 9). 6. Reinstall front fascia, tow hook closure, upper grill, and temperature sensor (step 10). 7. Install tow bar and safety cables per their instructions (step 12).
Yes, there are several differences. 2003–2004 models use a 10MM socket for upper grill bolts and have three Phillips screws on the bumper; 2005 models use a 7MM socket for grill bolts and have four Phillips screws. 2005 models have four temperature sensors to disconnect from the fascia instead of running lights. 2005 models require Loctite on all bolts and use provided 10MM hex nuts and lock washers instead of existing metric nuts. Some 2005 models may not have the cross tube that 2003–2004 models have. 2005 models require drilling with a 13/32" bit and installation of nut plates behind the frame.
Three 1/2" flat washers (item 6) are placed on each lower stud before the baseplate is set in position. These washers help distribute the load and ensure proper alignment with the studs.
The manual notes that dimensional variations between otherwise identical Range Rovers can be considerable. If a hole does not align, it may be necessary to file the hole slightly to allow the bolt to clear. This is a normal part of the installation process.
The attachment tabs are 23½ inches center to center and have a height of 20 inches.
A 13/32" drill bit is required to drill the remaining holes in the frame on both sides. This applies to 2005 models and is used with the baseplate as a template to mark hole locations.
You must disconnect the temperature sensor from the upper grill (step 1). For 2003–2004 models, disconnect the running lights from the front fascia (step 6). For 2005 models, disconnect four temperature sensors from the fascia (step 6). All electrical connections must be plugged back in properly during reinstallation (step 10).
Yes, permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended and should remain installed as long as the baseplate is installed on the vehicle. The BX2905 kit includes two 36" Class III safety cables (226-0046) and two 3/8" quicklinks (229-0359). The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. They must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. These 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.
The installer must watch for: oil cooler and air conditioner lines, electrical wires and hoses, and missing parts or attaching points on the frame. If the baseplate is improperly installed against a wire or hose, it could cause fluid leaks or electrical shorts some time after installation. Do not mount permanent baseplate safety cables against wires, hoses, or brake lines.
Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost. Obtain replacement parts from your Blue Ox dealer or distributor.
Ensure all electrical connections are plugged in properly, including the temperature sensor and running lights (or temperature sensors on 2005 models). Verify that the baseplate is securely tightened and that all fasteners are properly installed. Before each towing trip, inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts.
Before each towing trip, inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts. Use Loctite Red on all bolts and tighten them to the recommended specifications.
