Installation of Blue Ox BX2639 Base Plate Kit on 2013 Ford C-Max
Question:
I have a 2013 Ford C-Max Energi. I want to set it up to tow behind my RV. I live in So. Cal. in 92584 postal code. Do you have an authorized dealer/installer in my area?

Expert Reply:
We don't endorse any particular installation facility, but I can advise you on the type of shop to seek out.
Given the fact that the installation for the Blue Ox # BX2639 base plate involves removing a large part of the front of the vehicle, I'll typically recommend that you find a reputable body shop in your area and see if they'll handle this for you. They'd likely be better versed in removing the bumper cover without damaging it than a typical shop would be.
In addition to the base plates, you'll also need a tow bar like the Blue Ox Acclaim, part # BX4330 which includes safety cables, a taillight wiring system like the Roadmaster # RM-152-98146-7 and a supplemental braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR.
