Expert Answers about Safety Cables


  • Safety Cables for a Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar
  • The Falcon tow bar, # RM-522, has a channel to run the safety cables through so you will want to use straight safety cables like the 64 inch Single Hook, Straight Safety Cables, # RM-645. Safety cables are not included and must be purchased separately. We also have a towing combo kit, # RM-9243-1, that includes the safety cables and accessories needed for the RM-522 Falcon tow bar. Let me know if you need further assistance.

  • Are the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables # BX88196 Coiled
  • Yes, the Blue Ox 7' Safety Cables # BX88196 that you referenced are coiled. I have attached a review video so that you can see how this keeps them off of the ground.

If your flat towing setup is missing any of these parts just let me know what it is you are needing as well as the year/make/model of your vehicle...

  • Does the Roadmaster Falcon Tow Bar Include Safety Cables or Wiring

If your towed vehicle has separate turn signal and tail lights, this kit would utilize the red brake lights for stop, turn, and tail light functions. If you would like the amber turn signal lights to function, you would also need tail light converter # 118158, as well as two...

  • Purpose of Short Safety Cables that Come with Blue Ox Base Plate Kits
  • They are basically a safety chain setup for the base plate kit. They are designed to attach to the frame of the vehicle and the base plate kit. This is actually a common issue that our installers also deal with on many different vehicles. It is not spelled out in the instructions but since these base plates do not have an attachment point especially for the short cables included with the base plates you will have to loop the cables around the base plate assembly and around the frame somewhere...

  • Does Blue Ox Avail Come with Safety Cables
  • The Blue Ox Avail part # BX7420 does come with coiled safety cables. You'd need a high low adapter at around 13 inches like the # BX88132 which gets as close to that as possible at 10 inches. As long as you are within 3 inches up or down the adapter would be correct.

  • Are Safety Cables Included with the Blue Ox Baseplate for 2014 Fiat 500L?
  • The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX2803 only comes with the short cables that attach the base plate kit to the frame of your vehicle. The safety cables for your 2014 Fiat 500L that are required for the tow bar will actually come with the tow bar system if you get a Blue Ox tow bar. My recommendation is to use the either the Acclaim tow bar # BX4330 for a coupler style mount or the Alpha tow bar # BX7380 for the direct hitch mount that is more common. You may need a high-low...

  • Does the 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate Come with Mounting Hardware for a 2015 Ford F-250
  • Sorry to hear about your tailgate. The Stromberg Carlson 4000 Series 5th Wheel Louvered Tailgate # VG-97-4000 will install on your 2015 Ford F-250 as long as just the tailgate and the safety cables were removed. If the bolt that the safety cables attach to or the hinge mounts were removed then you would need to acquire those at an auto parts store. I have attached a video of this tailgate being installed on a 2014 F-250 for you to see what is involved in the installation process.
