what is life expectancy of a tow bar
We have a 5 year old Blue Ox Aladdin tow bar with about 60,000 miles on it. It has been maintained well (semi annual cleaning and greasing) but I am thinking that it might be a good time to replace it...

They need inspection and as a result of the inspection may have to have some parts replaced. I have been told by Blue Ox that a tow bar has a life of about 75,000 miles. I had one that had more than that , was inspected and maintained, but when checked by Blue OX at a rally showed me wear and said it needed to be replaced. I replaced it there at the rally for a rally price which is much better than buying through a dealer. Have a friend that had a Road Master tow bar and he was told about the same thing about his. Not sure there is a hard and fast "rule". Have it inspected by a qualified person and expect some day at about 75,00 plus miles it will need replacing.
