These two tow bars by Blue Ox mount into the receiver at the back of an RV or motorhome. Each includes features like non-binding and self-aligning designs. The two differ in maximum towing capacity.
The Acclaim and the Adventurer tow bars by Blue Ox connect to a ball at the back of an RV or motorhome. The Acclaim includes many sought after features. The economical Adventurer is best for occasional use.
The Blue Ox Allure and Trion are pintle-style tow bars. They have a lunette ring that attaches to a pintle-style trailer hitch. This design is popular for heavy-duty towing applications.

Secure tow bar to base plate bracket by pinning it through the holding bracket beneath the tow bar's coupler
ConstructionAll Blue Ox tow bars are constructed of heavy-duty steel. The result is a sturdy, durable tow bar that will last. Blue Ox makes tow bars so strong, in fact, that they are able to tow vehicles that weigh up to 20,000 lbs (the Trion only).
Base Plate Combatibility
Because Blue Ox base plates are custom designed, the spacing of the brackets will not always be the same from vehicle to vehicle. Some Blue Ox tow bars have limitations on how wide or narrow their arms can spread. As a result, certain tow bars may not work with some base plates on some vehicles.
The following table shows the range of distance between base plate brackets that each BLue Ox tow bar can fit. Be sure to check the base plates that are designed for your vehicle to determine their spacing. If the base plate kit and tow bar are not compatible, you may be able to use an adapter to achieve a functional towing system.
