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 front fascia, metal bumper and bumper brackets must be removed during installation and then reinstalled after the baseplate is mounted. This is a required part of the installation process.
Yes. Drilling is required. You will drill three holes on each side of the frame using a 13/32" drill bit, and cut two holes in the frame ends using a 1 1/4" hole saw. After drilling, spray cut edges of the frame with good quality paint to prevent rusting.

Yes. You must make two short cuts in the webbing on the radiator support using a hack saw and bend it out of the way on both sides. Some models may have a sensor on the driver's side webbing that will need to be relocated.
According to the torque chart for Grade 5 bolts, a 3/8" bolt should be torqued to 33 foot-pounds. However, the manual instructs to tighten all bolts according to the torque chart in the General Instruction Sheet. Confirm the exact specification with the General Towing Instructions or contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051.

Be sure that all electrical connections are plugged in properly and functioning before installing the fascia.
If the baseplate is in an accident, it must be replaced and not reused. 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.
Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar. They must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. The cables must have adequate weight rating for the towing system. Permanent 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.
Mount the permanent baseplate safety cables from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. Do not mount them against wires, hoses or brake lines, as this could cause fluid leaks or electrical shorts.
Inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts and loose bolts before each towing trip. Ensure all electrical connections are plugged in properly and functioning. Verify that the baseplate is firm against the front of the radiator support. Check that all bolts are tightened to the recommended torque specifications using Loctite Red.
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 to the recommended specifications. Permanent baseplate safety cables should remain installed as long as the baseplate is installed on the vehicle. Remove the attachment tabs when not in use.
No. Even though bolts may exist on the vehicle, do not assume they are adequate for baseplate mounting. Always use hardware supplied in the hardware kit or existing hardware specified in the Baseplate Towing Installation Instructions. Use only genuine factory replacement parts, and if a bolt is lost or needs replacement, use a replacement bolt of the same grade (in most cases Grade 5).
Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost. Contact Blue Ox or your dealer for replacement parts.
