Re: Supplemental Brake... Necessity or Preference
Yrachmael wrote: I'm towing a 2000# Honda Fit behind my 36' Cheeta pusher using Blue Ox bar and chains. Up to now I haven't had any need for a braking system in the toad. However, I'm planning a X-ross country trip late this spring that will include California. So now I'm questioning whether spending over 1k for a system is even needed and if so is one of those second hand Brake Buddies on Ebay worth a few hundred dollars or just a waste? I do not think the question is if you need it - the real question is what is your liability if something happens and you don't have it - are you liable for damage as well as - would your insurance cover you?1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Blue Ox Tow Bar

"We are an independent authorized dealer for Blue Ox products, not affiliated with Automatic Equipment Manufacturing." I've installed three Blue Ox base plates and found their instructions to be easy to read. The wires on the nuts are the only way to get them in place and get them secured. Blue Ox personnel are always easy to reach and very informative. I find them to be an above average company....Dennis Not true! I bought from Blue Ox.com who is the distributer for Blue Ox - they have no idea how the baseplates are installed. They were nice but could not help. Blue Ox was not available to help. The base plate for the 2019 Ford Ranger is next to impossible to install.709Views0likes0Comments- 6.3KViews0likes21Comments
