Will Blue Ox KarGard BX8870 Fit Blue Ox Aladdin Tow Bar and Roadmaster EZ4 Base Plates

Question

Question:

I tow a 2015 Chevy Malibu that has a Roadmaster mounting kit 523183-4 and the tow bar is Blue OX Aladdin. I want to get protection for my tow car so I am looking at the KarGard BX8870. Will it fit my equipment and are these parts comparable?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Blue Ox KarGard # BX8870 attaches to the tow bar arms and it is compatible with the Aladdin tow bar even when using the Blue Ox tow bar to Roadmaster base plate adapter # BX88178. So you will be good to go!
