| Product NOTES - Read these: | - Base Plates must be ordered separately.
- OVERWEIGHT VEHICLES: Some vehicles may exceed the 5000 lb. weight limitation on most tow bars. The Aventa II or Aventa LX with a 10000 lb rating must be used for all towing applications in which the towed vehicle's weight exceeds 5000lbs.
- TOWING AUTOMATICS: Based on reliable information, all Honda, most Saturn, '95-'05 Chevy Cavalier (4T40E or 4T45E trans.), '95-'05 Pontiac Sunfire (4T40E or 4T45E trans.), '97-'05 Chevy Malibu, '97-'05 Honda CR-V (See Blue Ox Service Bulletin SB219), '97-'01 Olds Cutlass and '99-05 Pontiac Grand Am cars can be towed with all four wheels on the ground without damaging the engine or transmission. This is an official Saturn, General Motors, GM vehicles must have the 4T40E or 4T45E transmissions to be towable! (See GM Service Bulletin 53-01-05 at your GM Dealer) and Honda position. (See Blue Ox Service bulletin SB218) Another solution to towing an automatic is to pick a 4 wheel drive vehicle such as the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer or Jeep Cherokee and put the transfer case in neutral. Other automatics will require a drive shaft disconnect or a transmission pump.
- POWER STEERING: We are not aware of any problems with power steering. In most cases it helps, as it acts as a damper. We have encountered vehicle's without power steering that are not towable due to occilation of the steering wheel while towing.
- The fact that Blue Ox has a baseplate for a particular vehicle does not imply the towability of that vehicle. Please read your towed vehicle owner's manual and/or consult your dealer for the correct towing procedures for your vehicle. Failure to comply with your towed vehicle's owner's manual could result in property damage or personal injury.
- Many Blue Ox Baseplates are designed to use existing holes and hardware to mount the baseplate to the towed vehicle. Even though bolts are there, do not assume they are adequate for baseplate mounting. Always use hardware supplied in the hardware kit or existing hardware specified in the Baseplate Towing Installation Instructions. Please note that baseplate height measurements are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the size and type of tire installed on the vehicle.

Today Blue Ox products account for the vast majority of our revenue; however, our company traces its roots to the Automatic Curry and Dipping Machine founded in 1926 by Rollie McQuistan. The purchases of the Blue Ox line of tow bars and base plates in 1991 and the Duncan line of tow bars and brackets in 1994, coupled with the development of braking systems, trailer hitches, TruCenter steering products, and other accessories have solidified our position as a leader in the Recreational Vehicle and Towing Industries. All of these products are manufactured in our Pender, NE facility. |
