Does Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar Come With Safety Cables for Towing 2013 Mini Cooper
Question:
We are going to be towing a 2013 Mini Cooper behind our motorhome. As I am buying all the parts/accessories I need to know if the Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 6,500 lbs comes with the safety cables. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380 you asked about does indeed come with the safety cables included, so they are not something that you would need to purchase separately. This is a really good option for flat towing your 2013 Mini Cooper as it has long arms to allow excellent maneuvering.
The tow bar is one of the parts needed in order to flat tow your '13 Mini, and is compatible with Blue Ox base plates; if you don't have the rest of the parts needed for your flat tow set up, I'll list the parts for you below.
- Base Plate Kit: Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1307
- Tow Bar: Blue Ox Alpha 2 Tow Bar # BX7380
- Wiring Kit: Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-154
- Supplemental Braking System: Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494
