I had to convert from Roadmaster to Blue Ox. The part was exact. Delivered on time. You guys have done a lot of planning with carriers. Now I can tow my car with my RV. Thank you.



by:

Now both my 2018 Jeep Cherokee and my Miata are set up to tow. etrailer has been sup in answering any questions I had to make sure I got the correct parts. Kevin D worked with me and was great. Everything is installed and ready for my next trip. The web site is super-easy to find what you need and the prices are great, with very fast shipping.



by:

everything good



by:

Very easy to install and looks great after installation



by:

Product looks robust, easy to install. One thing, cannot remove arms with adapter attached. Have to uninstall so arms are loose. This does not allow thread locker. probably the quick unit, (more money), would be more practical. Will work around it.



by:

Great products Great service!



by:

I've purchased from etrailer for many years. They are always great and this was no exception. After a little confusion with one rep I worked with another and have just received all I need for a new flat-tow package for my RV/Jeep. Meghan was able to help me figure out how to use my existing tow bar with an adapter, which saved me a good bit. I highly recommend etrailer!!!!

I work for a Drive-Away service and do a lot of towing behind a varied assortment of tow vehicles..The items mentioned in this Email have been performing flawlessly since I purchased them. When several of us go on a big job, I am hooked up and ready to roll while they are still struggling with magnetic lights etc. The job is so much simpler when it is done right.



by:

I had Blue Ox tow system bought a vehicle that had Roadmaster plates bought a Roadmaster adapter to my Blue Ox tow bar to make it work on the vehicle everything worked out perfect as a matter of fact the sales agent had sold me a part that I did not need I was able to call and send it back for a full refund on that part that was not necessary very grateful very easy to do business with prompt on time and save me a lot of money from having to exchange everything over from Blue Ox to Roadmaster very satisfied customer



by:

Super fast delivery of needed parts. Thanks for all your help.

I am preparing to tow my 1993 Miata behind a motorhome. After some research I decided to rely on Roadmaster products because they manufactured base plates for the Miata. Initially I purchased a Roadmaster Tracker bar that uses a 2 inch ball to connect. Later I encountered a Blux Ox Aventa on Craigslist that I felt would be better because it has a receiver connection that cannot work lose on rough roads. To make that work I had to purchase the RM-033 adapter bar.

In retrospect I recommend the Roadmaster Falcon tow bar to avoid about $100 of adapters that I needed to make my current system operate. My first towing experience so lots of rookie errors at my expense. BTW, even with my very light Miata, using the Roadmaster LX base plates, the Falcon tow bar, safety cables and tow lights, the setup costs about $1000 and some states require a supplementary brake system that is really pricy. Love my 1993 Miata, which is probably now worth about a $1000, so I hope it appreciates all I am doing to tow it along on my trips.

E-trailer has provided excellent service for this and an earlier order for the Tracker tow bar. With the free shipping, the pricing is very fair.



by:

Adam and the folks at etrailer were excellent. The fast shipping was notable; which I believe that Adam made it happen, (he is a professional, indeed). Thanks alot

Just fine. I installed it and forgot it. However I do recommend using the same brand Roadmaster tow bar with this base plate not the Blue Ox tow bar! Believe it or not + I have found a flaw with the Blue Ox.



by:

Instructions were very good for the installation on my 2010 Honda CRV for both the baseplate and the blue ox adapter. Fit and finish were good. Product arrived as promised. Minimal tools were needed, but installation with the vehicle on the garage concrete floor was probably a little more tedious than that on a lift. I would say that you do need some mechanical talents to do this on your own. It was worth the monetary savings for me to install these products.



by:

Shipping was fast. Only problem was some paint flaked off of the base plate before being installed. It's going to get dinged anyway so, touch up paint is expected.



by:

This adapter bar matches perfect from the Roadmaster tow brackets to the Blue Ox tow bar from the RV. I use this adapter on two different vehicle makes we flat tow.



by:

Ordered additional items for tow bar mounts. Carmel was very helpful. I couldn't figure out which items I need to go from Roadmaster to Blue Ox. She give me the part numbers after searching their data base and ordered what I needed. Order was sent right out and I received the items three days later.



by:

Cathy was very helpful in finding the best product for my need. She took the time to go through all the possible tow bar adapters and find the one that worked best to tow my custom steel bumper Suzuki with the Dominator tow bar. I also saved 50% off the cost from the OEM price! I will definitely use etrailer again!



by:

This adapter fit my blue ox tow bar perfectly. I don't know about it's overall performance strength wise until I put a few thousand miles on it.



by:

Excellent service, communication shipping, and fit to my application on my 2004 Jeep TJ Rubicon. Roadster base plate to a Demco towbar.



by:

looks like it will bolt right quite sim ply



by:

well constructed . very pleased with this product. as always e-trailer #1



by:

super easy to change from road master to blue ox bolted right on worked great



by:

Very pleased with the service provided. Nicole researched the part for me and it fits perfectly. Took me about 15 min to install correctly. Thanks for the professional experience.



by:

Every part from those E trailer folks is perfect

Well built and fits perfectly. Quality product I expect to last a long time.

  • Correct Adapter to Connect a Blue Ox Aventa Tow Bar to a Roadmaster Base Plate on a 2023 Maverick

  • Pintle Style Tow Bar for 2005 Jeep Liberty
    There are pintle style tow bars available, but the Blue Ox Acclaim # BX4330 would not be one of them. Instead, I recommend the Blue Ox Allure Tow Bar # BX7460P which will attach to pintle-style trailer hitches, has a 10,000 lb capacity and even comes with safety cables. The Allure fits Blue Ox removable-tab base plates that are spaced between 23" and 30" apart on center, or can be used with Roadmaster base plates with Tow Bar Adapter # RM-033.

  • Is Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar Compatible with Base Plates on 2014 Ford Focus
    Compatibility of the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar # BX7380 with the base plates on your 2014 Ford Focus will depend on their brand and design. If your base plates were made by Blue Ox then the Aladdin will work fine without the need for any adapters. If you happen to have Roadmaster base plates then you will need to use adapter # RM-033. The linked article includes lots of great information on each of the components required for safe and legal flat towing and may be of interest to you.

    Yes you can use your Blue Ox Aventa LX tow bar BX7445 to flat tow your 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible. I recommend the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1312, however - so long as your Mini does NOT have the R57 LCI with 1.6 engine - you can use the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-521882-4. The adapter you need to use your tow bar with this kit is the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox and Demco Tow Bars Adapter # RM-033. The wiring kit you need for your 2019 Mini Cooper S Convertible...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1997 Ford F-250HD 4X4 7.3 Liter Behind an RV
    There are many configurations of the 1997 Ford F-250HD 4x4 7.3 so it will depend on how much your truck weighs. The Excali-Bar tow bar, # DM9511008, is rated for 7,500 pounds so if the truck is under that you can use it. It is likely that it is less than 7,500 pounds but it is worth mentioning! For base plates you would need to use # 458-1 if your truck does not have a front anti-sway bar. If you use the # 458-1 base plates then you would also need adapter # BX88185 to use the Avail tow...

  • Can Demco Dominator Tow Bar Connect Roadmaster Base Plate for 2018 Chevy Equinox
    The difference between the two Roadmaster base plate kits part # RM523193-4 and # RM-523193-5 is the removable arm design of the base plate which allows for different attachments to tow bars. The # RM-523193-4 is the style that requires the tow bar to have a crossbar whereas the # RM523193-5 is a direct connect style of attachment so the tow bar doesn't need to use a crossbar. The direct connect is an easier design with less components involved so it's the better option when available. To...
