Is the Brake Buddy Supplemental Braking System Compatible with Blue Ox Base Plates?
Question:
We have a blue ox towing system buying the baseplate from you and a roadmaster brake buddy. Is this part compatible?
asked by: Janet
Expert Reply:
Yes. You will be able to use Blue Ox base plates like the # BX8869 and the Roadmaster Brake Buddy # HM39494 without compatibility issues on your 2015 Nissan Versa.
For future reference, the only time you'll have issues with compatibility across flat towing components is when using tow bars and base plates that aren't from the same manufacturer; to combat this, base plate adapters are available. I've linked an article with our base plate adapter table that you might want to use if you ever decide to switch tow bars or base plates in the future.
