The Blue Ox BX1922 Tow Bar Bracket is a top-tier towing accessory that ensures a firm and secure connection between your vehicle and the towed one. Custom designed for each specific towed vehicle, it guarantees a perfect fit and seamless performance. The bracket is constructed from high-quality steel with a black, powder-coated finish that adds to its durability and resistance to harsh conditions.

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 BX1922 is designed for 1993-94 Dodge/Plymouth Colt. It also fits 1993-94 Eagle Summit and 1993-96 Mitsubishi Mirage. Confirm your vehicle year and model before ordering.
Yes, the BX1922 is compatible with 1993-96 Mitsubishi Mirage, which includes 1995 models.
No, the BX1922 is designed for 1993-94 Eagle Summit only. It is not listed as compatible with 1995 or later models.
You will need: 12mm socket, 17mm socket, 9/16 wrenches, 3/4 wrenches, 13/32 transfer punch, 17/32 transfer punch, 13/32 drill bit, 17/32 drill bit, drill, Locktite Blue, jack, and Phillips screwdriver.
The baseplate includes four bolts: two 1/2-13 x 1 1/4 hex bolts (Grade 5) with 1/2 nylon lock nuts, and two 3/8-16 x 1 1/4 hex bolts (Grade 5) with 3/8 nylon lock nuts. Two additional bolts are supplied separately for the engine support mounts.
Yes, an assistant is required. Step 5 specifies that you will need an assistant to hold the baseplate under the car while starting the engine support bolts.
The manual does not specify whether the battery must be disconnected. Refer to the General Instruction Sheet included with the baseplate for additional safety requirements.
Remove the two plastic belly pans that bolt to the frame on either side of the engine support. Remove the bolts and plastic rivets that mount the pans to the frame. The plastic rivets are removed by unscrewing the Phillips head screw and prying the outer part of the rivet out of the hole.
Unscrew the Phillips head screw in the center of each plastic rivet, then pry the outer part of the rivet out of the hole.
Place a jack under the engine support and apply enough pressure to lift the car slightly. Remove the two bolts that mount the support to the frame while keeping enough pressure on the support with the jack to keep it tight against the bottom of the frame. This allows the baseplate to be positioned correctly before drilling.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 13/32" hole and a 17/32" hole in each tie down bracket. The manual states that installation requires drilling holes in the vehicle's tie down brackets.
Drill one 13/32" hole and one 17/32" hole in each tie down bracket. Use 13/32 and 17/32 transfer punches to mark the hole locations first, then center punch and drill.
Position the baseplate under the car with the angled tops of the side plates matching the contour of the frame where the tie down attaches. Use 13/32" and 17/32" transfer punches to mark the hole locations on each tie down.
Yes, remove any burrs from the drilled holes before remounting the baseplate.
Yes, dimensional variations between otherwise identical cars can be considerable. While the baseplate holes were designed for easy installation, it may be necessary to file a hole slightly to allow a bolt to clear.
The manual does not provide specific torque values. It states to 'tighten securely' after all bolts are started. Refer to the General Instruction Sheet included with the baseplate for detailed torque specifications.
The baseplate is bolted to the tie downs with two 1/2" bolts and two 3/8" bolts. The 1/2" bolts are 1/2-13 x 1 1/4 hex bolts (Grade 5), and the 3/8" bolts are 3/8-16 x 1 1/4 hex bolts (Grade 5).
The manual does not mention any electrical connections for the BX1922 baseplate. Refer to the General Instruction Sheet and tow bar instructions for any electrical requirements.
Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost. Obtain replacement parts from the manufacturer.
Apply Locktite Blue to the bolts before assembling them to the tie downs.
Yes, replace the plastic belly pan sections after all baseplate bolts are tightened securely.
1. Remove plastic belly pans and rivets. 2. Jack up the engine support and remove its mounting bolts. 3. Hold the baseplate under the car and start the two engine support bolts through the baseplate center mount. 4. Mark hole locations on tie downs using transfer punches. 5. Remove baseplate, center punch, and drill 13/32" and 17/32" holes in each tie down. 6. Remove burrs. 7. Remount baseplate and bolt side mounts to tie downs with Locktite Blue applied. 8. Tighten all bolts securely. 9. Replace belly pans.
The BX1922 fits 1993-94 Dodge/Plymouth Colt, 1993-94 Eagle Summit, and 1993-96 Mitsubishi Mirage.
