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.

The BX2333 is a towing baseplate manufactured by Blue Ox designed specifically for the 2012 Hyundai Accent with no foglights. It is a permanent installation that allows you to tow the vehicle behind a motorhome or RV using a tow bar system. The baseplate mounts to the vehicle's frame and provides attachment points for the tow bar and safety cables.
Yes, the BX2333 is designed specifically for the 2012 Hyundai Accent with no foglights. However, the manual notes that if the front of your vehicle looks different, you should contact Blue Ox Technical Service at (402) 385-3051 before proceeding with installation.
No. Due to the design of the removable attachment tabs on the BX2333, the RangeFinder II tow bar cannot be used with this baseplate.
Most adapters cannot be used with the BX2333 baseplate due to the design of the removable attachment tabs. The only exceptions are the BX8833 and BX88151 adapters, which are compatible.

No, the BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is recommended but not required for the 2012 Hyundai Accent. The manual notes it as recommended for this vehicle and shows a possible location for installation on the vehicle.
Blue Ox recommends that towing products be installed by Blue Ox Dealers who are familiar with the products and have the equipment and knowledge necessary to do fit work. Blue Ox Dealers can be found at www.blueox.com or by contacting Blue Ox Technical Service at (402) 385-3051.
The following components must be removed during installation: radiator cover, fascia, horn (driver's side only), air baffle (driver's side only), washer reservoir (passenger's side only), and metal bumper. All of these components are reinstalled after baseplate installation is complete.
Yes, drilling is required. You will need to drill multiple holes using a 1/4" drill bit, 13/32" drill bit, and a 1-1/4" hole saw. Specific drilling locations include: two horizontal cuts underneath the frame rail (steps 15), two holes through the front of the metal bumper (step 16), four holes for baseplate mounting (steps 17-18), one hole through the bottom of the metal bumper for the horn bracket (step 21), and one hole for the optional breakaway bracket (step 23).
Yes, trimming is required. You will need to trim: the upper and lower bumper guards with a reciprocating saw (steps 11-12), the plastic guard on the passenger's side with a utility knife (step 13), the lower bolt tab off the air baffle with a utility knife (step 20), and the middle piece of the fascia with a utility knife (step 24). The plastic guard will not be reinstalled.
Yes, some modifications are permanent. The plastic guard on the passenger's side will be removed and not reinstalled. The bumper guards will be cut with a reciprocating saw. The fascia will be trimmed. However, the manual notes that dimensional variations between vehicles can be considerable, and minor adjustments may include filing holes, bending electrical rods, or bending end plates to compensate for manufacturer tolerances.
For Grade 5 bolts: 33 foot-pounds. For Grade 8 bolts: 47 foot-pounds. The BX2333 uses 3/8"-16 x 1-1/4" Grade 5 bolts (part 201-0368) for mounting the baseplate. Always use a torque wrench and tighten bolts with Loctite RED.
For Grade 5 bolts: 10 foot-pounds. For Grade 8 bolts: 14 foot-pounds. The BX2333 uses 1/4"-20 bolts in several locations including the horn bracket attachment and optional breakaway bracket. Always use a torque wrench and apply Loctite RED.
The attachment tab height is 14 inches and the attachment tab width is 25.5 inches.
The BX2333 baseplate includes an electrical bracket (part 299-0685) and provisions for a 4-pin connector and 6-pin connector as shown in the parts diagram. However, the manual does not provide detailed wiring instructions for the baseplate itself. The BX8869 Bulb and Socket Wiring Kit is recommended for this vehicle and would handle the lighting connections.
If the baseplate is in an accident, it must be replaced and cannot be reused. Do not use the baseplate if it is damaged or missing parts. An accident can cause unseen damage, and using a damaged baseplate could result in more damage or serious injury. If you suspect damage, contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051.
No. Do not use the towed vehicle for storing luggage, equipment, or other items. This may cause you to exceed the towing capacity of the tow bar, baseplate, and its accessories, which could result in unsafe towing conditions.
Yes. The BX2333 kit includes two Class III safety cables (part 226-0046). These permanent baseplate safety cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame. They are strongly recommended to prevent the towed vehicle from breaking loose if the connection between the frame and baseplate fails. The cables must not be mounted against wires, hoses, or brake lines. 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.
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 using Loctite RED. Check that safety cables are secure and do not rub against any hoses or moving parts. Verify that the attachment tabs are properly installed if you plan to use them.
Yes. The manual recommends removing the attachment tabs when not in use. This helps protect them from damage and keeps the vehicle's appearance clean when not actively towing.
Yes. It is crucial to register your baseplate online at www.blueox.com. Registration ensures you will be alerted of product offerings, updates, upgrades, maintenance and safety bulletins, and recalls.
Failing to follow and/or altering these installation instructions in either installation or required equipment will void the manufacturer's warranty. Additionally, towing behind a non-motorized vehicle will void the warranty. Always follow the instructions exactly as written and use only genuine factory replacement parts.
The manual states that many Blue Ox baseplates are designed to use existing holes and hardware, but you should not assume existing bolts are adequate for baseplate mounting. Always use the hardware supplied in the hardware kit and existing hardware as specified in the installation instructions. If a bolt is lost or needs replacement, use a replacement bolt of the same grade (in most cases Grade 5). Replacement parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox Dealer or Distributor.
The removal sequence is: 1) radiator cover (step 1), 2) bolts in front of tires (step 2), 3) fascia push pins and bolts (step 3), 4) fascia (step 4), 5) metal bumper bolts (step 7), 6) horn on driver's side (step 8), 7) washer reservoir on passenger's side (step 9), 8) air baffle on driver's side (step 10). Follow the steps in order as written, as some removals depend on previous steps being completed.
Yes, the BX2333 is designed for the 2012 Hyundai Accent with no foglights. If your vehicle's front looks different, contact Blue Ox at (402) 385-3051 before installing.
You will need a drill, reciprocating saw, torque wrench, vise grips, utility knife, and various sockets (10MM, 12MM, 7/16", 9/16"). Drill bits required: 1/4", 13/32", and 1-1/4" hole saw. Loctite RED is also required.
Yes, both drilling and trimming are required. You will drill multiple holes in the frame and bumper using a 1/4" bit, 13/32" bit, and 1-1/4" hole saw. You will trim bumper guards, fascia, air baffle, and plastic guard with a reciprocating saw and utility knife.
Tighten 3/8"-16 Grade 5 bolts to 33 foot-pounds. Use a torque wrench and apply Loctite RED to all bolts.
Yes, two Class III safety cables are included. They must be connected from the baseplate to the vehicle's frame rail and cannot be mounted against wires or hoses. They are required in addition to legally required towing vehicle safety cables.
You must remove the radiator cover, fascia, metal bumper, horn (driver's side), air baffle (driver's side), and washer reservoir (passenger's side). All are reinstalled after baseplate installation.
Failing to follow the installation instructions or altering them will void the manufacturer's warranty. Towing behind a non-motorized vehicle also voids the warranty. Always use genuine replacement parts and follow all steps as written.
Step 17 specifically states: Always ensure baseplate remains level. If the baseplate is not level during drilling, stop and recheck the alignment using the existing holes on the side rails as reference points (step 14). The baseplate should be aligned and kept level using these existing holes before proceeding with drilling the new mounting holes.
The manual notes that dimensional variations between otherwise identical vehicles can be considerable. While the baseplate was designed for easy installation, it may be necessary to tailor the baseplate slightly to compensate for manufacturer tolerances. These minor adjustments may include filing a hole slightly, bending electrical rods, or bending end plates. If significant fitting issues occur, contact Blue Ox Technical Service at (402) 385-3051.
The manual states: Be sure the safety cables do not rub against any hoses or moving parts. If cables are rubbing, reposition them to a different solid piece of the frame as described in the instructions included with the permanent baseplate safety cables. Do not mount the permanent baseplate safety cables against wires, hoses, or brake lines, as this could cause fluid leaks or electrical shorts.
Step 23 states: There will be an existing hole on the underside of the metal bumper. If you cannot locate this hole, contact Blue Ox Technical Service at (402) 385-3051 for assistance. Do not drill a new hole in a different location without confirming the correct position with Blue Ox.
