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 BX1823 is designed specifically for the 1999 Nissan Infinity G20. The baseplate mounts to the metal bumper and lower cross frame of this vehicle.
The following tools are required: utility knife, Loctite, 3/4" wrench, 3/8" drill bit, 1/2" drill bit, 10mm wrench, 9/16" wrench, and Phillips screwdriver.
The kit includes: one baseplate (61-5357), two 1/2" bolt plates (61-5358), two 3/8" whiz nuts with wire (61-4978), two 3/8-16 x 1 1/4" hex bolts (201-0368), two 1/2"-13 hex nuts zinc-plated (202-0005), two 1/2" lock washers (203-0012), one 1/4" x 3/4" truss screw (201-0111), and one 1/4" hex whiz nut zinc-plated (202-0069).
Yes. You must remove the plastic bumper facia by first removing four outside bottom Phillips screws connecting it to the fender well molding, then removing the 10mm bolt inside the molding connecting the fenders and facia. You will also need to remove bottom 10mm hex head bolts from the lower middle section, the plastic push rivet and hex head bolt from the plastic rock guard, and plastic push rivets from the top bumper facia.
The coolant line bracket that connects the line to the frame in front of the radiator must be removed. The coolant line is then bolted to an existing hole in the brace using a 1/4" x 1" slotted truss bolt and 1/4" whiz nut.
Yes, the styrofoam piece must be removed from the front of the metal bumper as part of the preparation process.
Six holes need to be drilled: two 1/2" holes for the outside braces to the metal bumper, and four 3/8" holes for the lower braces to the lower cross frame (which are then enlarged to 3/4" on the face of the cross frame).
Two 1/2" holes are drilled for the outside braces to attach to the metal bumper.
Two 3/8" holes are drilled for the lower braces to the cross frame. The small holes on the face of the cross frame are then drilled out to 3/4".
Yes, the lower rock guard plastic is trimmed. When fastening the rock guard back in place, it is necessary to trim around the lower braces of the baseplate.
The manual states that all bolts must be torqued and tightened according to a chart in the General Instruction Sheet, which is not included in this document. Contact the manufacturer or consult the General Instruction Sheet for specific torque values for the 1/2" bolts to the metal bumper and 3/8" bolts to the cross frame.
Two 1/2" bolt plates (61-5358) with 1/2"-13 hex nuts (202-0005) and 1/2" lock washers (203-0012) are used to attach the baseplate to the metal bumper.
Two 3/8-16 x 1 1/4" hex bolts (201-0368) with 3/8" whiz nuts with wire (61-4978) are used to attach the lower braces to the cross frame.
Yes, Loctite must be used on all bolts. The manual specifies 'USE LOCTITE ON ALL BOLT' and later references Loctite Red for all bolts tightened to recommended specifications.
Hold the baseplate up to the bottom of the metal bumper and center it so the back braces are flush with the back of the metal bumper. Ensure the middle braces align to the lower cross frame so that when drilling holes, the bolts will go into the hollow of the frame.
1. Remove plastic bumper facia and styrofoam. 2. Remove and relocate coolant line bracket. 3. Position baseplate and mark one outside brace hole. 4. Drill 1/2" hole and insert bolt plate with wire through front holes of metal bumper. 5. Bolt baseplate to frame. 6. Hold baseplate centered and drill other outside brace holes. 7. Fasten baseplate to bumper with similar hardware. 8. Mark and drill 3/8" holes for lower braces to cross frame. 9. Enlarge small holes on cross frame face to 3/4". 10. Fasten lower braces with 3/8" bolts and whiz nuts. 11. Replace bumper molding, trimming around lower braces. 12. Install tow bar and safety cables.
Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar. They prevent the towed vehicle from breaking loose if the connection between the frame and baseplate fails. The cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member. Each cable must have adequate weight rating, and the two cables together must meet the system requirement. Safety cables must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines.
No. 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.
Inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts, and loose bolts before each towing trip. Ensure all bolts are tightened to recommended specifications using Loctite Red.
Remove the attachment tabs when not in use.
Verify that all bolts are tightened to the recommended specifications using Loctite Red. Inspect the baseplate for proper alignment and secure attachment to both the metal bumper and lower cross frame. Ensure the plastic bumper molding is properly reinstalled with trimming around the lower braces. Verify that the tow bar and safety cables are installed according to their package instructions.
