Flat towing leader. Known for tow bars, vehicle-specific baseplates, and supplemental braking systems.
Blue Ox is the Nebraska-based towing brand that specializes in tow bars, braking systems, and base plates for RV dinghy-towing. Family-owned since the 1950s, Blue Ox is the brand most motorhome owners default to when they need to flat-tow a Jeep or SUV behind their coach.
The Avail, Aventa LX, and Alpha tow bars are the flagship products. Pricing is premium — a full dinghy-tow setup (tow bar + base plate + wiring + braking) can easily run $2,000. That's the ticket of entry for towing-four-down.
Blue Ox also makes cargo carriers and receiver-mount accessories, but the core business is RV dinghy equipment. Build quality is excellent.

Blue Ox started in Pender, Nebraska as a machine shop building tow bars for local farmers in the 1950s. The "Blue Ox" name comes from Paul Bunyan's legendary ox Babe — the founder thought the name reflected rural American grit.
