Blue Ox for sale

Bill, Thank you for the quick reply. I am formally from Mantua Ohio..so familiar with the snow belt ! Been in South West Georgia for 24 years now. We have just sold a tandem trailer and "think" I have my 1992 Mazda Miata sold. Trailer was just too much work anymore...hate to lose the Miata, but it is over according to my wife !! With that history in mind....do not have a new Toad yet....looking but thinking along the lines of a Fit or Sonic size vehicle..a Jeep at the largest. I am unfamiliar with tow bars, but this one appears that it is rated for 5000 pounds. Realize I would need to purchase the base plate for the vehicle I buy. I assume (or do you know) if this hitch is compatible with standard blue ox base plates? Just getting into this end and unsure of differences of tow packages. hate to purchase and then find out the connecting ends are different on the particular base plate I would need to purchase. Did this unit come with the safety cables, electrical connection, etc? Thanks for any information you might be able to share. Thom

Thom, in the box is the Acclaim tow bar and safety cables and all included instructions. There are no electrical connections with the bar. It will attach to the Blue Ox removable tabs that come with the Blue Ox base plate.

If you go with another base plate mfg. you would need to change the front attachment brackets to what ever brand of base plate you go with. Adapter kits are available form Blue Ox. We use a Blue Ox base plate on our Honda CR-V that is our toad. The removable tabs with the Blue Ox are great. Install them when needed and remove them when not needed.

Leaving Monday for a week in Florida and a visit to the Tampa RV show. Will return on the 22nd.

Bill

Bill, Thank you again for your reply and information. I did some googling and have a better education/understanding as to the tow bars, pieces and parts etc. after our initial conversation. I also looked and there is the same unit on Amazon for $443, prime shipping included. I am thinking that sending a 40 pound unit will cost me over the $43 dollars to ship from Ohio to Georgia. I am certain you can sell on Craig's or other web site for the $400 asking locally...it is a good deal. My apologies for taking your time, but guess we can only learn by asking questions. Safe travels along the highways. Enjoy Fla.....only one week is way too short a time period. Thank you again. Thom

No apologies needed, hope you find the RV your looking for. My wife had a highly modified by Peter Ferrel Super Cars a 3rd gen. (1993) RX7. Top speed 186, only ever had it to 158. Sold it when we put an addition on our boarding kennel. Great car, very hard to get into, no tilt wheel.

Bill, Thom from Georgia. We spoke back a while regarding the tow bar. Never did do anything yet and really hate to "take advantage" of your reduced price of $300, but even with shipping charges I really cannot pass. If you still have the tow bar available I will take it and cover the costs of shipping to Georgia. Let me know and we can proceed with payment. Thank You. Thom

Thom, local pick up is the only way I can handle this. I just got out of the hospital, for a second hand operation with a 4 day stay, then a week at home then back in for 5 more days. All the result of an infection in my hand after an operation in July. I am now at home on 2 different IV antibiotics 5 Times a day for the next 6 weeks.

I would gladly sell you the bar, and wonder if you still might have friends or family in this area that could then send it to you. Sorry I cannot send it myself. Let me know if you have a plan.

Bill

OMG Bill, Really sorry to hear about your medical problems. Misery must love company....I have been fighting with an ankle tendon that keeps going out resulting in very undignitified falls into walls, tables or the ground when walking. Braces and Creams is the Podiatrists offer. I think your infection is a bit more concerning. Do hope it is under control. Yes I can arrange to have a friend drive over to Chardon to pick up the bar. Donna can come over today or tomorrow to pick up the bar with cash or I can PayPal or Wal-Mart Cash Pick-up the money to you today. Whatever is best for you just let me know. Thank you again and we will remember you in our prayers for a healthy recovery. Thom and Debbie 706-527-7129
