Recommended Flat-Towing products For 2008 Honda Fit
Question:
I know you have the base plate and tow bar for a 2008 Honda Fit.
asked by: Larry
Helpful Expert Reply:
There are five items you need when flat-towing your 2008 Honda Fit. You need base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting for your Fit, and most states now require a supplemental brake system.
The base plates I recommend are the Blue Ox Base Plates, part # BX2252. For a tow bar I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha, part # BX7380. This tow bar lets you hook up your towed vehicle, even when you are on ground that is not level.
For safety cables I recommend part # RM-643.
I also recommend the Blue Ox Towing Accessories Kit, part # BX88231. This includes a lock that secures your tow bar to the RV, and locks that secure the tow bar to the base plates. The kit also includes the wiring harness and bulb and socket kit for the tail lights plus a tow bar cover.
For a supplemental brake system I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot, part # BLU37TR. This is a wireless, radio frequency system that applies the brakes ion the Fit in direct proportion to the braking action of the motorhome.
finally, you would want the tow bar to be perfectly level but within 3 inches high or low is considered acceptable. I have attached a link to the high-low adapters we offer you can check out.
