Expert Answers about Chevrolet Tow Bar

• Recommended Tow Bar For Flat Towing A 1994 Jeep Wrangler
• Hey David, If your 1994 Jeep Wrangler has the factory bumper then I recommend the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518112 along with the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e34ZR to complete your physical connection between the motorhome and Wrangler. If you have a different baseplate then I'll need to know what it is in order to pick out the correct tow bar. If you haven't picked out the rest of your flat towing components then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar Wiring: Roadmaster...

• Is There a Fixed Tow Bar System To Attach to 2" Hitch Ball and Front of a 1969 Chevrolet El Camino
• The Curt Adjustable Tow Bar # C19745 will connect to a 2" ball on the back of your 2006 GMC Sierra 1500. The tow bar includes universal mounts which you will be able to use for mounting to the front of your 1969 Chevrolet El Camino. I was unable to locate any custom base plates specific to your El Camino which is most likely due to its age. The universal mounts included with the tow bar will allow you to have a custom mount fixed to the front bumper.

• Complete Flat Towing Setup for a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
• Hey Brent, so I recommend going with Roadmaster for the majority of your setup. Both brands are great and will ultimately get the job done, but Roadmaster has become a very trusted brand in the industry and has a very good track record which is why I'd recommend them over Blue Ox. So with that being said, for a set of tow bars I recommend checking out the Roadmaster Nighthawk All-Terrain Tow Bar w/ LED Lights # RM-676. This tow bar has a nice 8K capacity, an integrated LED strip for easy...

• Hey Kyle, happy to help out a fellow namesake, and we can indeed get your 2024 Jeep Wrangler set up to be flat towed with your Rugged Ridge Arcus front bumper and the Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420. I did some research and it looks like the bumper accepts 7/8" D-rings so the correct adapter is the following: - Blue Ox Off-Road Bumper Adapters # BX88357 I couldn't find anything about if the Arcus bumper was rated for flat towing, so you'll want to verify that with the manufacturer...

• Is a Weight Distribution Hitch System Required When Towing a Airstream Trailer Weighing 4,300LBS?
• A weight distribution hitch is not required for towing any trailer but they do make it safer. I personally have never liked the round bar style hitches like Husky makes and always recommend units like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0800 since it uses a straight bar. These do not hang down a low as the round bar systems so they will not drag going over speed bumps or when you hit pot holes. As long as you are staying within your towing capabilities and your Tacoma is not overly sagging from...

• What Tow Bar Can Be Used on a Ford F-150
• Hey Larry, I'm not too sure how much the weight fluctuates between model years for the Ford F-150, but it looks like a 2024 F-150 weighs between 6,220 to 7,350 lbs, meaning something like the Roadmaster Nighthawk # RM-676 or # RM-677 would work fine. If you're needing a whole setup let me know what you have below, and I'd be happy to make some recommendations.

• Where To Install Roadmaster Tow Bar Lighting Kit RM-15267 and DM23MV on 2001 Ford Ranger
• We haven't had the chance to install the Roadmaster tow bar lighting kit part # RM-15267 or the part # DM23MV on a 2001 Ford Ranger Don but the best tip I can give would be to find a place on the front bumper. Typically the lower edge works best. Or if there's a spot in the grill that's open for it that would work too.

• Recommended Baseplate For A 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe With Roadmaster Falcon 5250 Tow Bar
• Hey Michael, The Falcon 5250 has direct-connect attachment points that hook onto a crossbar, if you remove the crossbar adapter then you'll be able to go with a direct-connect baseplate like the # RM77ZR (models with tow hooks) or # RM76RR (models without tow hooks). If you haven't picked out the rest of your setup then I have the following recommendations: Tow Bar Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil Wiring Kit # RM-15267.

• Recommended Base Plate for 2024 Ford Maverick With a Blue Ox Base Plate That's Too Wide
• Okay Bob, so I did a bit of digging around and apparently this is a known issue that Blue Ox is aware of. The 41" distance between the mounting points is too wide and non-standard which is why your tow bars are being stretched too far. Unfortunately there is no solution from Blue Ox which is a bit disappointing but with that said you'd be better off getting rid of those base plates and use something else instead. That much stress on your tow bar/base plates is going to only end up bad...

• Base Plate Options For A 2022 Jeep Gladiator With A Barricade Alloy Bumper
• Hello David. Based on what I can see online the Barricade Alloy Bumper has welded D-rings. Provided this bumper is tow rated, I suggest using the Roadmaster D-ring adapters # RM-035 for 3/4" thick D-Rings or # RM-035-1 for 1" and use a Roadmaster Falcon All Terrain, Non-Binding Tow Bar, # RM-522. I do suggest that you contact the manufacturer of this bumper and verify that it is rated for flat towing. If the bumper is not tow rated, the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM77VR...

• Weight Distribution Hitch Recommendation for a 7K Enclosed Cargo Trailer with Aluminum Frame
• Hey David, thanks for all of the info - I'd be more than happy to help you choose a WDH! For your application I recommend using the Blue Ox SwayPro # BXW0750 which has a tongue weight range of 550 lbs - 750 lbs and uses chains for sway control so they won't be as aggressive as the straight torsion bars. I know this initially sounds like overkill for the weights that you referenced, but you'll actually need to adjust some thing around inside your trailer prior to installing the SwayPro....

• Thoughts On Andersen Weight Distribution Hitch For a 2,300LB Travel Trailer
• I am going to recommend using the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0600 for towing your 2,300lb travel trailer. This is a reliable system that has stood the test of time and works with trailers up to 6,000lbs with 250-600lbs of tongue weight. The Andersen makes some interesting claims with their system being revolutionary and eliminating sway but I have personally replaced their systems with ones like the Fastway above because they experienced sway. The Fastway has an actual sway...

• Bike Rack Option For A 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe
• Hello Sherie. I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately, we do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2012 Nissan Altima coupe. The hitches we carry are for the sedan only. If you need to carry two bikes, the only option is to use a trunk mounted rack like the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. This can hold two bikes weighing up to 35 lbs apiece. Alternative frame bikes may require an adapter bar, part # SA3040. Just keep in mind that the trunk cannot be opened with a trunk mounted rack installed

• Should SwayPro 1,000 lb Spring Bars Be Upgraded For Trailer With 946 lb Dry Tongue Weight
• You definitely want to upgrade the spring bars on your SwayPro # BXW1000. This system is designed for a tongue weight of 750-1,000 lbs so you're almost outside of that range without loading anything. If this is a travel trailer you're going to have batteries and propane added on which will have you sitting right at the max. The # BXW4008 will change your tongue weight range to 1,000-1,500 lbs so you will be covered when empty and once you load the trailer. I do recommend measuring the...
