Correct Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar To Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit Adapter

Question:

I need an adapter to connect the Roadmaster 458-1 mounted on a 97 Ford F-250 Supercab 4x4 diesel to a Blue Ox Avail tow bar BX7420. The QandAs fir the base plate discuss using a BX88185 adapter. Im confused however because the Blue Ox Avail tow bar has a knuckle with 3 swivel plates but the BX88185 only has a single swivel plate. Should I need one with two swivel plates to mesh with the BX7420? What is the proper adapter to use for this application?

In order to use the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar part # BX7420 with the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit part # 458-1 on your 1997 Ford F-250 you will need to use the Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plate Adapter Bracket part # BX88185. The Blue Ox Tow Bar to Roadmaster Base Plate Adapter Bracket actually replaces the triple lug connectors on the Blue Ox Avail which you can see in the attached photo.
