Charles S, the diagram in the description says 7 3/4 pin hole to ping hole, you say 6 1/2 who is telling the truth ? And how come the same item from Curt is $37.06 less in price.

I'm sorry for the confusion - it looks like this spec was recently updated on the Blue Ox # BX88129 and Chuck's answer page wasn't updated accordingly. The hole to hole distance is indeed 7-3/4". The difference in price between this and the Curt # C59KR really just has to do with the difference in brand/manufacturer. I would honestly go with the nicer priced Curt option, as it also features a higher capacity.

Hey Jim! The Taskmaster and Westlake tires, like the Taskmaster ST235/75R15 Off-Road #TA45RR and Westlake ST235/75R15 Off-Road #WST54FR you were looking at, are made in China. A lot of people tend to shy away from trailer tires made in China but…

Hey Jeff, Since most tow bars have to sit up 90 degrees and then turn to either side to stow you'd almost certainly need to remove a bike rack. The Roadmaster Dual Hitch Receiver Adapter #RM-077-4 you were looking at would allow you to haul both…

I checked the manual and also reached out to Blue Ox to confirm this but found no notes and Blue Ox stated that the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit #BX1739 would be a compatible fit for your 2020 GMC Sierra 3500 (diesel). If you haven't picked out the…
