  • Tow Bar Recommendation for a 2008 Saturn Outlook with Blue Ox Base Plate Kit
  • There are adapters that allow for a Roadmaster tow bar to be adapted to Blue Ox base plates, but unfortunately they are not compatible with the Stowmaster tow bar. I attached a chart that details all of the adapters and their applications. For a similar tow bar that would work with your base plate kit you would want the Acclaim part # BX4330. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. The base plate kit you have currently is most likely the part # BX3330.

  • 4-Bike Rack and Hitch Recommendation for 2009 Saturn Outlook
  • The hitch we recommend for the Swagman Original Bike Hitch Mounted Folding Rack w Frame Mount Cradles for 2 inch part # S64400 is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for the 2009 Saturn Outlook part # 75528 since the carrier does not come with a hitch. Another 4 bike rack to consider would be the Thule Camber part # TH9056. This rack features two arms to minimize sway and offers a more secure fit for your bikes. In case you need to carry women's bikes you will also need a Thule Women's and Alternative...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Saturn Outlook with Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • We do have a Blue Ox base plate kit that is a fit for your 2008 Saturn Outlook. For that you would want the part # BX3330. This will work well with your vehicle as it is a confirmed fit. 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...

There are several items you need when you flat-tow a vehicle. First I recommend the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, part # 523149-1. For a tow bar I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon 2 Tow Bar, part # RM-520....

  • How to Make Third Brake Light Adapter for Cargo Carrier
  • Since your trailer wiring will have the stop and turn signal circuits combined onto one wire you'll need a converter to isolate out the stop circuit for adding an additional brake light. For that you'd want the part # 118158 wired to your trailer wiring and the red wire would carry the circuit needed for the third brake light. You can make a wiring kit for your cargo carrier using a 4-way connector like the part # HM48133 wired to the # 118158 and mounted to your carrier and you'd have...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Saturn Outlook Behind an RV
  • There have been different Falcon tow bars over the years. If you have a Falcon 5250 (discontinued) it is rated for 5,000 pounds. The Falcon 2, # RM-520, and the Falcon all-terrain, # RM-522 are rated for 6,000 pounds each. I did some research on the 2008 Saturn Outlook at found that its gross vehicle weight rating is 6,400 pounds but its curb weight is 4,722 pounds. The 6,400 pounds is the most the vehicle can weigh when loaded to capacity including cargo, passengers, and fuel. You...

  • Hatch Mounted Bike Rack Recommendations for 2008 Saturn Outlook
  • I have linked you to all the trunk-mounted bike racks that are a confirmed fit for your 2008 Saturn Outlook.

The OutWay is our most popular rack because of the innovative attachment system that uses 2 retractable cables instead of the 6 straps that other racks...

  • Will Yakima KingJoe 3-Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Saturn Outlook
  • I have a trunk mount bike rack option for your 2008 Saturn Outlook, but the Yakima KingJoe will not fit your 2008 Saturn Outlook. None of the Yakima trunk-mount carriers will fit your vehicle. I have attached a link to all of the trunk mount bike rack options that have been confirmed to fit your Outlook. The Thule rack that most resembles the Yakima you chose is the Thule Gateway XT # TH78VR. A couple of nice features of this rack are the over-sized molded foam pads to help protect your...

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2008 Saturn Outlook

  • Hitch Lock Recommendation for a Dodge Ram with a 2-1/2 inch Hitch
  • For your factory 2-1/2 inch trailer hitch on your Dodge Ram the lock you selected, # e98881, is an excellent choice. The usable span of the lock measures 3-5/8 inches so it is long enough for the wide 2-1/2 inch receiver on your truck.

  • Help Determining Base Plate Kit Installed on 2008 Saturn Outlook
  • I'll take a look to see what you have if you send me the pictures. If it's a Blue Ox kit it'll be part # BX3330 like what you see in the picture I attached. Sounds like you may be missing the removable arms of the base plate kit, which if that is true the correct part number you'd need for the replacement would be part # BX62-3468.

  • Which Trailer Wiring Option for 2009 Saturn Outlook
  • I've provided a photo of the harness that might be under the vehicle. It's usually found above or next to the spare tire, and will have a plug in the end of it to keep out road debris. The plug might not be present on vehicles not equipped with the tow package. If you find the plug part # 118384 would be an easy way to install a 4-pole trailer connector. The Hopkins # HM40975 would provide both a 7-way and a 4-pole. If the plug isn't present, either the # 118434 or the # C56025 T-One connectors...
