@Adam You're very welcome, we're glad to hear your # BX8833 tow bar adapter is working well for you!


by:

have not actually used it yet looks like quality craftsmen ship work



by:

works perfectly



by:

I have a Reese towbar and these look like they will fit fine. They only have one tab, opposed to Blue Ox's normal three, but they are build with Blue ox's typical high quality and should be just what I need.

These have worked great for 9 months of intermittent towing on my Reese towbar to Blue Ox base plate.



by:

This part allows me to connect my tow bar to a Blue Ox base plate on my 94 Suzuki Sidekick but doesn't fit as snugly as I would have liked it to. This can be resolved with a few washers so it isn't a big problem....just would have been nice it they had included them with the adapters.



by:

The product was excellent as was the instructions. I am a person that likes to do all maintenance and mods. I found the blue ox very easy to install. We have towedd the car approximately 7000 miles and no issues at all.



by:

They work just fine on Harbor Freight towbars. Towed several times without issues.



by:

These adaptors allowed me to use a tow bar which was much cheaper. I really appreciated my salesperson, who helped me come up with a set of equipment that was very well priced and still fit all my needs.



by:

I wanted heavy duty base plates and that's what these are. Perfect for what I needed. Fast Delivery



by:

Product exceeded my expectations for quality, ease of installation, and performance. We can pull our 2015 KIA behind our motor home and disconnect in 20 seconds. Even the standard shipping was faster than expected.



by:

Product was as advertised. Fits great.
Service was excellent from etrailer,with timely updates and delivery. Thanks, and I will be doing business with you again.



by:

Thank you


It is just what
I needed . Very quick shipping . I like etrailer . What would make it the best would be free shipping.


Thank you



by:

The adapters I order are exactly what I needed. I received them in a very short time. I am very satisfied with the product.



by:

Exactly what I needed to adapt a basic tow bar to the Blue Ox posts. Dimensions were right on and the fit and coating seem fine.



by:

These adaptors are perfect. Quick delivery. Good price. Good looking and fit my towbar very nicely.



by:

Great people to work with very knowledgeable, product came very quickly and fit like a charm.

Thanks again Etrailer.

Allowed me to use another brand of tow bar I had on hand from a previous motorhome.

Great product. Great delivery. Installation was easy.

  • Can Tow Ready Tow Bar part # 63180 Connect to Blue Ox Base Plate Kit
    If you had the Tow Ready tow bar part # 63180 you'd be able to use the Blue Ox adapter part # BX8833 to connect to your Blue Ox Base Plate kit part # BX3505. There's no way to use the Curt tow bar you mentioned with the Blue Ox tow bar as there are no adapters available.

  • Will the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Kit # BX8833 Fit a U-Haul Tow Bar
    The Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter Kit # BX8833 that you referenced hasn't been confirmed to fit with a U-Haul tow bar, but you may be able to. I went out to the warehouse and found that the distance between the arms of each adapter measured 2-1/4". If your U-Haul tow bar is close to that then it will work, but if it is much bigger or smaller you will want to look into getting a Blue Ox tow bar instead. I recommend the Blue Ox Alpha # BX7380 which comes with safety cables and is rated for...

    There is an adapter that will allow you to use your Valley tow bar with your 2019 Ford Ranger and the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX2679. The correct part for this is the Blue Ox Base Plates to Reese, Valley or Draw-Tite Tow Bar Adapter Kit # BX8833. I have added a link to a video review of the adapter for you to check out as well. Additionally, if you need the rest of the flat towing setup for your 2019 Ranger, the correct parts are as follows: - Safety Chains: Blue Ox Safety Cables #...

  • Base Plate Recommendation for 2019 Chevy Sonic LT with RS Package and Automatic Transmission
    According to page 283 of the online version of your owner's manual, your 2019 Chevy Sonic with automatic transmission can be flat towed with a speed restriction of 65 mph. Please refer to your owner's manual and follow the guidelines outlined under "Recreational Towing". The base plate kit I recommend for your 2019 Chevy Sonic LT with RS package is the Blue Ox # BX1703. It features removable arms for a clean, unobtrusive look when you're not flat towing. These removable arms are only compatible...

  • Can a 2000 Ford Ranger Manual Transmission and Rear Wheel Drive be Towed with a TowReady Tow Bar
    Yes, the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar, # 63180, can be used to tow the 2000 Ford Ranger with manual transmission. You will need to refer to your owners manual for procedures and restrictions for towing your Ranger, and make sure that the Ranger is below the 5,000 pound capacity of the tow bar. You will also have to keep in mind that this tow bar is rated for towing speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. A better tow bar option would be the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar, # BX7322, which is...

  • Adapters to Use Roadmaster or Blue Ox Base Plates with Different Tow Bars
    There are some tow bars that will fit Roadmaster or Blue Ox base plates using an adapter. But I would have to know the brand and model of the tow bar to be sure. For example, adapter # RM-032 will allow you to use Roadmaster base plates with Demco Aluminator, Excali-bar and Kwik-Tow and Ready Brute Elite tow bars. Adapter # RM-025 will allow you to use Roadmaster base plates with Draw-Tite (2480), Reese (74950), Valley, EAZ-Lift and Tow Ready (63180) tow bars. Adapter # RM-038 will...

    In order to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit part # BX3505 on your 1994 Suzuki Sidekick with the Tow Ready Adjustable Tow Bar part # 63180, you will also need to use the Blue Ox Base Plate Adapter part # BX8833. If you also need safety cables to go between the toad and tow vehicle I recommend using part # RM-645. Please keep in mind that in order to complete your flat-towing setup you will also need flat-tow wiring, a supplemental braking system, and possible high-low adapter. If you would...

  • Recommended Base Plate Fit and Related Items to Flat Tow 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Behind Winnebago
    Safe and legal flat towing requires a number of components: tow bar, safety cables, a wiring/lighting kit, base plates and a supplementary braking system. Each of these is detailed in the linked article. Your Reese Tow Champ tow bar 74950 has a 5000-lb maximum vehicle weight rating according to my contact at Reese Consumer products. Your 2011 Grand Caravan has a weight range of 4321- to 4483-lbs depending on its equipment and so will be within the tow bar's rating. Generally it is easier...

  • Using a Draw-Tite Tow Bar to Flat Tow a 1969 Chevrolet G10 Van
    Before towing your 1969 G10 you'll want to do some research (if you haven't already) and make sure it can be flat towed without causing any damage to it. We do not have a custom base plate kit for the G10. So you'll need to use universal bolt-on brakets # BX88230. Once these are installed the adapter # BX8833 connect the base plate brackets to a Draw-Tite tow bar. I've linked an article on flat towing you may find helpful

  • Can You Use a Blue Ox Base Plate Kit with a Valley Tow Bar
    Yes, you can use Valley Tow Bars with a Blue Ox Base Plate like the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1647. You will need a Blue Ox Base Plates Adapter # BX8833 in order to adapt your Valley tow bar to the # BX1647. I attached an FAQ article on flat towing that you should find informative also.

  • Will Blue Ox Adapters # BX8833 Fit Curt Tow Bar # C19745
    I went out to the warehouse to measure both the Blue Ox adapter # BX8833 and the arms on the Curt tow bar # C19745. I am happy to report that the adapter and tow bar will work together! The tow bar arms where the adapters would attach are 1.97 inches tall and they have a slightly larger than 1/2 inch diameter bolt hole. The adapter opening that fits over the tow bar arms are 2 inches tall and they have a 1/2 inch bolt diameter. They couldn't be more suited for each other. The 26 to 41...

  • Tow Bar and Recommended Accessories for Flat Towing 2011 Hyundai Sonata
    To provide an attachment point for a tow bar, base plates like the Blue Ox # BX2330 would need to be installed on the vehicle. In order to use the Tow Ready # 63180 you referenced, you would also need an adapter, part # BX8833. However, that particular tow bar is only rated for 45 mph, so I would consider using a different tow bar like the Blue Ox Acclaim, part # BX4330. The Acclaim would require no adapters, includes the necessary safety cables, and would allow you to travel at normal...

  • Can Curt Tow Bar be Used to Flat Tow 2016 Ford Focus
    We only have one adapter that fits the Curt tow bar you have and it's the Blue Ox part # BX8833 which allows it to connect to Blue Ox base plate kits. That means that for your 2016 Ford Focus you'd need the Blue Ox base plate kit part # BX2663. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Towing a 2007 Toyota Solara with a Chevy 3500 Pickup
    There a few ways to do this. If your 2007 Toyota Solara has a manual transmission you can use a tow bar ans base plates to tow your vehicle. If your vehicle has the U151E transmission you would need a transmission lube pump to flat tow the vehicle or you could rent a tow dolly, which would hold the front wheels off the ground. You could also rent a 16 foot car hauler trailer. If your vehicle has the U250E transmission you will have to use a tow dolly or trailer to transport the Solara. If...

  • Can Curt Tow Bar Attach to Base Plate Kit that Fits 2002 Mazda Miata
    For your Curt Tow Bar part # C19745 you can attach it to Blue Ox base plate kits with the adapter part # BX8833. There isn't a way to attach the Curt tow bar to Roadmaster base plates. If you have a 2002 Mazda Miata like I believe you do you'd want the base plate kit part # BX2514 and you'd be set with the adapter # BX8833.

  • Solution for Using Curt Tow Bar With 2022 Jeep Gladiator
    The Curt base plate kit you are referring to is only confirmed to fit the 2020-2021 Jeep Gladiator. I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BLU53FR. If you have the Curt Rambler # C26FR then this will be compatible with the Blue Ox base plates without the need for an adapter. If you have the # C19745 then you will need the Tow Bar Adapter Kit # BX8833.

  • Recommend Base Plate Kit For Blue Ox Tow Bar on 2003 Jeep Liberty
    For a base plate kit that is compatible with your 2003 Jeep Liberty and Blue Ox tow bar, I would recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit, part # BX1119. The Blue Ox kit is compatible with Blue Ox motor home mount tow bars. In addition to a base plate kit and tow bar, you will need safety chains, lighting or wiring, and a supplemental braking kit to flat-tow your Jeep Liberty. The Roadmaster Coiled Safety Cables, part # RM-643, would be a good option for safety cables. For lighting, you...

If you already have the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit # RM-523185-5 then you will need to use a Roadmaster tow bar that slides into the hitch receiver like the Falcon 2 # RM-520.

  • Can a Jeep Wrangler be Flat Towed by the Front Bumper
    I have a solution for you, however, I would not recommend mounting a tow bar directly to a bumper on a Jeep, whether it is OEM or an aftermarket bumper. Jeep does not recommend towing the Wrangler with the OEM bumper because it was not designed to pull the weight of the vehicle. Also, mounting a tow bar to a bumper would require drilling. I spoke with my contact at Pavement Ends and she said drilling into this bumper would void the warranty and they do not recommend using it to tow the...

  • Base Plate Kit Needed to Flat Tow a 2002 Jeep Liberty with a Curt Tow Bar
    To use a Curt tow bar, like part # C19745 to flat tow your 2002 Jeep Liberty you will need to install the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1119 and then use the Adapter Kit # BX8833. The Blue Ox base plate kit has removable arms that help gives your Jeep an OEM look when you aren't flat towing. If you will be doing a lot of towns then I recommending using the Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267 if your motorhome has a 7-Way or the Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154 if your motorhome has a 4-Way....

Keep in mind that this tow bar is rated for towing speeds of 45 miles per hour or less. A better tow bar option would be the Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar, # BX7322 , which is designed for towing long distances and more frequently.

  • Curt Tow Bar And Blue Ox Base Plate Compatibility
    To connect a Curt Tow Bar # C26FR to your Blue Ox Base Plates # BX1143 all you need is an adapter # BX8833. The non-binding feature makes it easier to unhook to tow bar when you're on an uneven surface. Not being level can cause the bars to bind up and not want to come off of the base plates so this feature will definitely make removing the tow bar easier. If you want a one time set up braking system that will stay in the towed vehicle then I recommend # HM39530. If you want a braking...
