I used the brake away kit and thank heaven havent found out that it works which means the car didnt break away from the rv.



by:

Great price & was exactly what we needed.
We
have purchased several items from etrailer and learn a lot from their demos & installation videos.
Keep up the great work!



by:

This is the third time I’ve ordered from etrailer.com and as with the previous orders they kept me informed of my orders location during shipment. They make it easy to purchase needed trailer parts and accessories.



by:

It works--saved our Jeep Wrangler. This is a must with the Blue Ox system--it gets the highest rating possible.



by:

replacement for the one i left in my car i recently sold
still have to install it, but its a simple thing



by:

This will be installed on a alternate tow vehicle. Packaged well



by:

Worked perfect for my 2015 Jeep Overlan d.



by:

Good matching replacement part



by:

5 stars for fast turnaround! Not much to say about the product though till its installed and tested. Not much to it.



by:

Works great. The length just barely makes it to the braking module when we used the wire chase. We have maybe 2-3 inches of wiggle room for our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. The blue ox baseplate attachment for the braking system was located on the passenger side so we had to route it across the front first before routing it to the driver side well.



by:

These kits have everything that you need and easy to follow installation instructions



by:

Easy to wire up and seems to work as advertised, although fortunately I’ve never had a situation where it was actually activated.



by:

Works perfectly at its intended job. Sturdy & durable. Plus the added etrailer benefit of unmatched support and guidance after the sale that you won't find any place else. Thanks etrailer.



by:

The work you did on my car was great. Appreciate your service and reasonable costs.



by:

Great product, the pin that goes into Patriot break could be stronger.



by:

I haven't installed it yet but I sure it will be fine. You guys do a great job. My one stop shopping for all my towing needs.



by:

Looks to be a quality part, I have not installed yet but lots 100%



by:

good service quick delivery.



by:

Great service.



by:

works great with Jeep behind Motor Home.Blue ox products are great and e trailers retail service is well done.



by:

Shocked at prompt 2 Day delivery! Thanks so much



by:

We can always depend on service and quality of the products.



by:

Good service and knowledgable crew. Items are good quality.



by:

Easy install, just mount it, run the wire to the break operator, plug it in and you’re good to go!



by:

Original one works great, nice to have a spare just in case!

  • Blue Ox Flat Tow Set Up and the 2nd Vehicle, 2021 Jeep Wrangler
    If you already have a Blue Ox tow bar, then I suggest the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms, # BX1139. See product review and installation video and verify this fitment against your style bumper. These base plates should not only fit Fit Blue Ox tow bars but also Aventa, Aladdin, Alpha, Adventurer, Ambassador, Acclaim, Avail, Allure, and Trion tow bars as well and many Roadmaster tow bars too with a sold separate adapter, # RM-031 or #RM-031-5. Since you have already flat towed...

  • Replacement Breakaway Switch and Cable for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System
    Correct, the breakaway for the Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking Systems is unique. For replacement, you'll need the Breakaway Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking Systems part # BRK2505 which comes with the cable, box, plunger, and lanyard. This is the only way it's offered so it may have some stuff you don't need.

  • Blue Ox Patriot Breakaway Installation on 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Being Flat Towed
    On your 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Blue Ox Patriot breakaway connector should be mounted to the front of your vehicle on the driver's side using bolt and lock nut. I've attached the instructions to assist. It is obvious the installer did not do this correctly and you were right to question the installation. The grill will most likely need to be trimmed to accommodate the fit as you can see in the attached video. There is a decent amount of force needed to activate that pin. Check...

  • Roadmaster Diode Wiring Kit for at Rear of Motorhome with 7-Way
    Since you have a 7-way at the rear of your motorhome a better option for tow bar wiring would be the Roadmaster diode kit part # RM-15247 which comes with a coiled cable that has a 7-way on one end and a matching connector and socket for the side that installs on the towed vehicle. Then for a breakaway switch replacement the part # BRK2505 would be all you need for the Patriot.

  • Will Optronics LED Magnetic Tow Lights Protect Against Scratching 2018 Ford Fiesta SE Paint?
    The Optronics Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit - Weatherproof - Red Lens - 20' Wiring Harness - Qty 2 # TLL21RK has a protective label pad on the bottom to keep from scratching paint. You can see this at the 2 minute mark of the attached review video. I do recommend wiping down the vehicle with a microfiber cloth before putting the lights on simply to remove any dust or debris that could be abrasive between the scratch free label and the paint for added security.

  • Replacement Break Away Switch Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System
    I'm assuming you have a Blue Ox Patriot Braking System like the # BLU37TR. If that's the case, you'll need part # BRK2505 which includes the break away switch, the coiled lanyard and the wiring harness that connects the switch to the brake unit. I've linked to a video showing a typical install.

  • Replacement Breakaway Switch for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System
    Sounds like the breakaway pin of your Blue Ox Patriot part # BLU37TR was damaged when it was pulled. The easy solution is a new breakaway switch part # BRK2505 and you'd be back on the road.

  • Can a Universal Breakaway Switch Be Used with Blue Ox Patriot Braking System
    The Blue Ox Patriot Braking Systems like part # BLU37TR all use a proprietary breakaway switch so you must use one from Blue Ox, the Second Vehicle Breakaway Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking Systems part # BRK2505 which also comes with the lead. It's more expensive than a universal breakaway but your only option if you want to stick with the Patriot.

  • How To Mount A Breakaway Switch When The Baseplate Doesn't Have A Mounting Point
    Typically if the baseplate doesn't have a nice spot to mount the breakaway we just screw it into the fascia using the small bracket that comes on the switch. If we're needing to space it out a bit we typically use a bracket like # 18140 and will still just screw the bracket somewhere into the fascia. When it comes to this type of installation there really isn't a right way to do it, so you'll just want to use your best judgement and will possibly need to make some alterations to the bracket...

  • Potential Causes for Patriot Braking System to Lock Up Brakes on Towed Car
    The Blue Ox Patriot towed vehicle braking systems like the Patriot # BLU37TR and the older Patriot BRK2019 are proportional systems that will apply braking force based on them detecting deceleration in the tow vehicle. If you are not slowing down the motorhome and the brakes are applying then either there is an issue in your breakaway setup or an internal fault in the unit. Check out the linked article on testing a breakaway system. I would check all wiring for signs of cracked or worn...

  • Preparing To Flat Tow a 2022 Ford F-150 along With a 2018 Ford Expedition
    For your 2022 Ford F-150 you will want the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate # RM38VR. The Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All-Terrain Non-Binding Tow Bar # RM-422 is a great option as it is a very rugged bar that is rated well above the curb weights of both your F-150 and the 2018 Ford Expedition. The Roadmaster Accessory Kit # RM-9243-3 will provide you with the safety cables and the wiring to use on your Expedition. For your F-150 you will need either the Incandescent Kit # RM26FR or LED Kit...

For this base plate kit to work with your Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar # BX7420 you simply need the Adapter Brackets # BX88185. These adapter brackets change the connection points on your tow bar so that they are compatible with the EZ5 base plate kit. Please note that a complete flat towing setup includes a base plate kit, tow bar,...

  • Mount for Switch of Second Vehicle Breakaway Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking Systems
    When we mount the Second Vehicle Breakaway Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking Systems # BRK2505 we typically use a small bolt, nut, and washer. There isn't always an obvious place to mount the switch so you may have to get creative when choosing a place to mount it. Sometimes we'll use the part # 18140 which is a mount that you may have seen in some of our install videos and pictures like what I attached.

  • Can Blue Ox Flat Towing Parts from 2013 Ford Edge Fit a 2018 Ford Edge SEL
    You will be able to use your Blue Ox braking system and tow bar but you will need new base plates. The 2013 and 2018 Ford Edge SEL use different base plate designs. Base plates # BX2657 work with SEL models that do not have Active Cruise Control or the 2.0 EcoBoost motor. And they will not fit models with the Driver Assist Package. If your 2018 does have Active Cruise Control but not the EcoBoost 2.0 liter motor then you can use base plates # BX2667. These base plates will be compatible...

Since you're reusing your power cord and socket you'll really only need the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152.

  • Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for Chevy Equinox
    The only other electrical item you would need to flat tow your Equinox would be a lighting solution Eddie. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.
