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.

Remove nine metric bolts from the lower edge of the fascia using a 10MM socket. 4. Release the clip just outside the headlight assembly on the seam between the fender and front fascia on both sides, then pull the corner of the fascia down and to the side, pull the fascia forward and set aside. 5.

Slide the baseplate onto the frame rail to align with the existing two holes on the driver's side. Install two 10MM-1.25 x 35MM bolts with lock washers and flat washers. On the passenger's side, slide the end plate between the frame and washer reservoir, align the lower back hole of the baseplate with the existing hole for the washer reservoir, and install a 6MM-1 x 30MM hex bolt with lock washer and flat washer. Use Loctite Red on all bolts before tightening. Tighten all bolts according to the torque chart in the General Instruction sheet.

On the passenger's side, three 3/8-16 nut plates are installed with hex bolts, lock washers and flat washers. On the driver's side, one 3/8-16 nut plate is installed with a hex bolt and lock washer. All bolts must use Loctite before tightening and be torqued according to the General Instructions torque chart.
Yes. After drilling the frame rail holes and installing the nut plates, you must reinstall and tighten the front 6MM-1 hex bolt into the washer reservoir, tighten the reservoir back bolt, and reinstall the bumper brackets and metal bumper.
Align the front fascia as close to its original position as possible. Cut an opening in the lower grille to allow the attachment receivers and convenience links to come through on both sides. Reinstall the fascia and ensure all electrical components are plugged in properly.
The manual states that all bolts must be torqued according to the torque chart in the General Instruction sheet, which is not included in this installation manual. Contact your Blue Ox dealer or distributor for the specific torque values.
Two drill bit sizes are required: a 13/32" drill bit for drilling the upper back hole on the driver's side and the three holes on the passenger's side, and a 1½" hole saw for drilling holes in the end of the frame rail on both sides.

Permanent baseplate safety cables are strongly recommended when towing a vehicle with a tow bar. Two 36" Class III baseplate safety cables are included with the baseplate. These cables must be connected from the baseplate to the frame rail or cross member of the vehicle's frame and must remain installed as long as the baseplate is installed. The cables must not be mounted against wires, hoses or brake lines. 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.
Watch for oil cooler and air conditioner lines, electrical wires and hoses, and missing parts or attaching points on the frame. If the baseplate is improperly installed against a wire or hose, it could cause fluid leaks or electrical shorts some time after installation. Do not mount permanent baseplate safety cables against wires, hoses or brake lines.
Do not substitute other devices if the tow bar pin and clip are lost. Obtain replacement parts from your Blue Ox dealer or distributor.
It is the owner's responsibility to inspect all towing equipment for cracked welds, missing or worn parts and loose bolts before each towing trip. Be sure to use Loctite Red on all bolts and tighten to the recommended specifications.
Yes, remove the attachment tabs when not in use, if applicable.
Use a replacement bolt of the same grade (usually Grade 5). Repair parts may be ordered through your nearest Blue Ox dealer or distributor. Do not substitute homemade or non-typical parts. For your safety and the preservation of your baseplate, ensure the replacement bolt is of the same grade as the original.
