Blue Ox Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2007 Honda CR-V

Question:

Im interested in the Blue Ox flat tow package for a 2007 Honda CRV but after looking thru your website Im unsure on what all is needed. Can you send me what all is needed with the Blu Ox Acclaim Non-Binding Tow Bar - Car Mount - 2 - 5,000 lbs to have a complete kit to have my CRV ready to go? Thanks!

Since you have a Blue Ox Acclaim tow bar # BX4330 the correct base plate kit would be the part # BX2246 for your 2007 Honda CR-V.

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.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking in the vehicle being flat towed. The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
