1 Choose Your Tow Bar

Pro tip: Select capacity ≥ your towed vehicle's curb weight (fully loaded). Most Class III/IV hitches use 2″ receivers. Heavy-duty motorhomes may require 2.5″. Non-binding arms make disconnects easy on uneven terrain.

2 Select Your Baseplate (Vehicle-Specific)

Important: The baseplate bolts to your towed vehicle frame and provides attachment points for the tow bar. Select by year/make/model & trim. Note special options like ACC (adaptive cruise), active shutters, hybrid/turbo engines, or factory tow hooks.

3 Add a Braking System

Safety first: Portable systems like the Blue Ox Patriot 3 apply proportional braking in your towed vehicle—providing smoother, safer stops. Required by law in most states and provinces.

4 Complete Your Setup with Accessories

Don't forget: You'll need tail light wiring (diodes or plug-and-play kits), a 7-to-6 umbilical cord, safety cables rated for your towed vehicle, and possibly a drop/rise receiver to keep everything level. Locks and protective covers extend the life of your investment.
