Can Flat Tow Equipment Be Transferred Between Different Tow Vehicles?
Question:
I have the blue ox 10,00 # capacity installed on a 2016 terrain. I want to sell the terrain and tow something else. What other vehicles can I transfer the towing equipment to ? If I get different base plates can I transfer to just about any other towed vehicle ? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
It depends on what new vehicle you plan on getting in place of your 2016 GMC Terrain, however typically the only thing that you can transfer among different towed vehicles is the tow bar.
So for your Blue Ox Avail Non-Binding Tow Bar # BX7420, as long as you have a Blue Ox baseplate like the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1689 on your new vehicle you can use this tow bar with no issues.
As far as everything else like the braking system # SM99251, tow bar wiring # RM-152-98146-7, charge line kit # RM-156-25, fuse bypass kit # RM-76517 & # RM76511. you will need to purchase this again for your new vehicle as these are not going to be transferrable.
If you're able to let me know what new vehicle you're getting, let me know and I'd be happy to get you all set up.
