Expert Answers about Jeep Wrangler


  • Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar Measurements Retracted and Extended
  • The Blue Ox Ascent Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 2" Hitch - 7,500 lbs # BX4370 has arms 2 inches longer than most. I reached out to my tech contact who said when the legs are in it is 44” from receiver pin to holes on triple lug. When fully extended 54”. This is with the legs closed together. That distance will be shorter when the legs are spread and attached to a baseplate because expanding will created an angle to reduce the distance between connection points without changing the arm length.

  • Dimensions of Curt Front Hitch 31408
  • I attached a picture that has the most relevant dimensions of the Curt # 31408. The length of the main crosstube as well as the distance between the mounting holes. The vertical height would be just a little over 2-1/2 inches. Our hitch manufacturers generally don't like to give out schematics for copyright right reasons but if you have a more specific dimension you are looking for I can get that for you.

For such large tires (this compressor is designed for 40 inch or larger tires) there isn't a compressor system that...

  • Great question! The hitch receiver on motorhomes tends to sit further away from the rear axle than it does on a standard passenger vehicle which is why the weight rating reduction applies to both Off-Road and RV use for the Yakima OnRamp # Y36FR. Technically you could still use this on a motorhome but if any damage were to occur it wouldn't be covered under warranty. For your application I recommend using the Hollywood Racks RV Rider Bike Rack # HLY64FR which can hold up to 80 lb bikes...
