Towing with Blue Ox Aladdin

[Skyfarmer]

Any issues with using an Aladdin? Will be towing a lightweight Miata. Thanks, Lee

We tow a Honda CRV with an Aladdin, and no issues; I like the light weight.

A good lightweight tow bar.

The earlier 5,000 lb rated models would wear the bolt holes at the end of the tow bar arms where the arm bolts to the triple lug brackets (brackets that attach to the toad base plate). The soft aluminum would eventually allow the hole to become egg shaped instead of round. This happened to me after towing a 4500 lb toad for many years and many miles.

I have no experience with the newer 7,500 lb rated models. This problem may have been cured on the newer versions.

I'm now using a 10,000 lb all steel model, and I miss the light weight Aladdin. 🙂

No problem with mine pulling a 3000ish pound Honda for about six years.

I was wrong...I had the Adventa II tow bar

I towed a FIAT with the Blue Ox Aladdin..no issues at all.
