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.

Required tools are: 13mm socket, 10mm socket, 15mm socket, 9/16" wrench, 3/8" drill bit, utility knife, and Loctite Blue.
Yes, the front bumper must be removed for baseplate installation. The removal process involves removing push pins from the top of the bumper facia, wheel well molding, and bottom of the facia, then removing bolts from the fenders, sides of the bumper, and slots on each side.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 3/8" hole through the bumper bracket and the frame using a 3/8" drill bit and 3/8" hardware. Additionally, you will drill 3/8" holes in the bumper using the baseplate as a template.
Yes, the grill will need to be trimmed. After the bumper is installed on the baseplate, you must hold the bumper facia up to its original position and mark on the grill where it needs to be trimmed. The exact extent of trimming is not specified in the manual.
1. Remove the front bumper (steps 1–6). 2. Remove clips and plastic bolt plates from brackets (steps 7–8). 3. Install bolts and hardware as shown, tightening per the General Instruction Sheet (step 9). 4. Drill 3/8" holes through bumper bracket and frame (step 10). 5. Set baseplate on bracket hooks and insert top bolts, hand-tightening both sides (step 11). 6. Set bumper on baseplate (step 12). 7. Install remaining hardware with tube spacers between frame and baseplate, then tighten all bolts per the General Instruction Sheet (step 13). 8. Use baseplate as template to drill 3/8" holes in bumper, insert bolt plates, and tighten (step 14). 9. Mark and trim grill as needed, then reconnect electrical connections (step 15).
Use 3/8" hardware as shown in the drawing on page 3. The kit includes 3/8-16 bolts in three lengths (1 1/4", 1 1/2", and 2 1/2"), 3/8 flat washers, 3/8 lock washers, and 3/8-16 hex nuts. For the bolt plates, use 1/2-13 x 1 bolts with 1/2 lock washers and 1/2-13 hex nuts. Apply Loctite Blue on all bolts.
The tube spacer (part 107-2683, 3/4" OD x 0.406" ID x 1" long) must be placed between the frame and the baseplate when installing the remaining hardware. Two spacers are included in the kit.
The manual references torque specifications in a 'General Instruction Sheet,' but those specifications are not provided in this installation manual. You must consult the General Instruction Sheet or contact the manufacturer for the correct torque values for each bolt size.
Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar. The kit includes two 36" baseplate safety cables (226-0046) and four 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 and must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. These cables are supplementary to, not a replacement for, legally required safety cables attaching the towed vehicle to the towing vehicle.
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 specifications. It is the owner's responsibility to perform these inspections.
The manual instructs you to reconnect any electrical connections after the bumper is repositioned and the grill is trimmed, but it does not specify which electrical connections are involved. You should identify and reconnect any connections that were disturbed during bumper removal.
Yes, use Loctite Blue on all bolts during installation. The manual also recommends using Loctite Red on all bolts and tightening to the recommended specifications during ongoing maintenance and before each towing trip.
