Budget-Friendly Tow Bar Keeps It Simple
You don't need to spend a fortune to get a tow bar that's going to work for you. The Blue Ox Adventurer is a simple but sturdy option that is more than capable of getting your vehicle from point A to point B.
Because the arms are adjustable - able to match up to base plates tabs from 16" to 34" apart - you can use this tow bar with almost any vehicle within the weight limit. Adjusting them is easy: loosen the hex nuts attaching them to the coupler and push the arms in or out as needed. Then, when you're not using the Adventurer, the arms can be folded together to take up minimum storage space in your car, garage, or RV.
What You Need to Flat Tow
Flat towing can be a much more convenient way to take your car RVing with you than using a trailer or a tow dolly. It'll save you storage space both at home and at the campsite, and it takes less time and hassle to hook up.
To flat tow your vehicle, there are 5 basic components you're going to need: a tow bar, a base plate kit, a safety cable set, tow bar wiring, and a flat tow braking system.
| For the RV | Between the RV and Towed Car | For the Towed Car |
|---|---|---|
| Hitch with ball mount and ball | Tow bar | Base plate |
| Wiring plug | Safety cables | Braking system |
| Wiring adapter cord | Wiring kit/diodes |
The custom-fit base plate installs on the frame of your toad so you can connect the car to your RV with a tow bar. Hook up safety cables between the vehicles to ensure that the toad does not separate from the motorhome if the tow bar becomes detached. Tow bar wiring syncs your vehicle's signal lights with your motorhome's tail lights, as required by law in most states. Finally, the flat tow braking system - also required in most states - activates the brakes in the toad when you hit the brakes in the RV, making for smoother, safer braking, and preventing wear on your motorhome.

Fit is perfect. Easy install and adjustment.
Quality product
by: Michael02/19/2020
There is not a lot of information on the internet about pulling this kind of VW. I did my homework and this works GREAT when pulling a standard transmission with key left in "ON" position. etrailer has a lot of variety to offer for different needs.
This is the lower priced, plain Jane, no frills, less moving parts for something to go wrong - exactly what I was looking for tow bar. With little work it folds up for storage easily. Installation on our '98 diesel VW was clean and easy without incident (I do all my own modifications when needed. There is no rattling loose fit in tight corners or straight a ways. We don't even know we are pulling anything behind our '68 Dodge Travco B210 (modified with 5.9 Cummins)

Looks great. Will work fine with the base plate.
by: Mike P05/17/2021
A very well made product, though way stronger than needed for a Smart Car, though it all went together problem free. It's barely visible on the vehicle which is great, as many are so ugly.

We love you guys, you are excellent from start to finish. Answered all questions products are quality. Will definitely use you again. Katie gets top stars.
by: Ken04/18/2017
Received my tow bar in excellent condition , amazing packaging . I was a little surprised that it required adjustment prior to use . My jeep already had a Blue Ox base plate installed so it was simple to slide the bar into the adapters . Much less complicated that my old bar . The only disadvantage is there is no way to keep the bar in an upright position . Looking forward to our first trip with it .
by: Conor05/13/2023
Works great, kind of challenging to hook up alone. Send the money on the better one that you can back up to an put on at any distance an angle.

The Blue Ox Adventurer tow bar is an economical choice that will get you where you want to go. For a bit more money I recommend taking a look at part # BX4330 which is also a coupler style tow bar that works with Blue Ox base plates. It does have the telescoping, non-binding arms that gives you more maneuverability when attaching in uneven terrains. Keep in mind you cannot back up your RV with the vehicle attached as it will damage your tow bar and possibly the vehicle.
by: Jeffrey 12/04/2021
I bought this Blue Ox 5000lbs capacity tow bar because my Subaru Crosstrek only weighs 3100lbs and maybe 3300lbs while fully loaded with gear. I also wanted a simple tow bar that didn't break the bank.
This item arrived in less than two days. The Tow Bar fits perfectly in the back of the Subaru when not in use.

Doing its job, no problems here.
by: Christopher S.08/23/2015
I purchased this tow bar to use with a Blue Ox base plate for my
1999 Mazda Miata. It is a very simple arrangement, with the 2 arms able to fold down to a smaller and more easily stored unit, but does not slide fore and aft as the more expensive tow bars do. As such, it takes a bit more manouvering of the towed vehicle to get it all lined up with the ball hitch. Not a problem for me, as the Miata is very light and easily pushed back and forth. Others with heavier vehicles may have more of an issue.
The quality of the tow bar is excellent. Price and delivery were also excellent. This is a great choice for a budget level tow bar.
by: Sousa01/13/2018
Good product. Did everything I needed it to do. Used it to tow my Jeep. Super easy to hook up to blue ox baseplate. I could barely even notice it back there.. pulled it with my F150. No problems turning. Kept the Jeep under control, even on the Oregon Coast. Another quality product from blue ox. etrailer did a great job helping me out. Customer service was excellent and videos were helpful covering the entire scope of setup and installation. Thank.

Using this Blue Ox Adventurer Tow Bar on my Colorado together with a Blue Ox base plate. Both are a perfect fit and do the job very well. Would buy it again, and yes, I'm very happy with the service I got from etrailer.com. Highly recommended. Ordered it from Canada and had it shipped to the border without problems. Thank you for saving me a lot of money.

Our Blue Ox tow bar is just what we needed to safely tow our PT Cruiser behind our 37 ft diesel pusher. Easy to use.
by: William05/31/2022
Very happy with this purchase. I understand this is more of the lower priced Blue Ox tow bars, but it's well built compared to others I've seen in the same price range.
by: J Kirk09/28/2022
Due to Ms Chelsea, I placed my order after talking to her. She was so helpful and professional. I will use etrailer in the future for all my orders. Ms. Chelsea deserves a big round of applause. She is the Greatest. Now if I can put this thing together. lol
by: Bob D.02/02/2017
My Blue Ox Tow Bar arrived faster than I expected. It fit the existing mounting brackets on my Jeep Wrangler perfectly. If my oil pump drive gear fails again, it will be easy for someone to tow me home. Now my wife won't worry so much when I'm hunting in the Wyoming mountains.
by: Kyle A.03/16/2015
This is a great budget towbar. It was even easier than I expected to hook up to the car and connect to my motorcoach. I am towing a 2015 Honda Fit and I was able to easily pull my car around by hand after hooking it up to this towbar.
by: Ed A.07/12/2015
Previous review, saying 6 - 8 hours installation, was for the tow bracket that I purchased with this tow bar. It took only a few minutes for this tow bar.
by: Mike03/01/2023
I installed the hitch myself and it has worked out great!
by: Norm 01/15/2020
I have given this product 4 stars because I have not yet used it. However, upon inspection, I found it to be well made and sturdy. I am currently having the tow brackets and cross bar professionally installed.
by: James08/24/2019
I installed this on my car myself It wasn’t too bad. Everything is exactly like it said. It works great. If ever change vehicles I will perches from them again.

But you can use the Adventurer tow bar # BX7322 which costs less than the Acclaim but does not come with safety cables. To add safety cables you can use # RM-643.
