Does The Blue Ox Baseplate # BX1987 Come With A Tow Bar
Question:
Does this bade plate come with the tow bar ?

Expert Reply:
No, Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1987 is just the base plate. You would need to purchase a Blue Ox compatible tow bar in order to complete the physical connection between the towed vehicle and motorhome. One of my favorites is the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Blue Ox Base Plates # e47ZR. This tow bar comes with safety cables bracketed to arms so you don't have to purchase them separately or worry about them dragging on the ground. There's also a bar mounted to one of the arms that can be used to help keep your 7-to-6 way cable up off the ground. The head and shank also have a bit of adjustability to help keep the tow bar level between your motorhome and towed vehicle.
If you need help picking out any other components to flat tow your vehicle I'd be happy to help if you could tell me the year/make/model of the vehicle.
