Blue Ox Towing Adapters: Precision Height Solutions for Flat Towing
When it comes to flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome, geometry matters. It is imperative that you keep the height of your hitch receiver and the baseplate within a three-inch range — and even small misalignments can put excessive stress on your tow bar, tires, and suspension components. That's where Blue Ox adapters come in, offering a practical, heavy-duty solution for dialing in the perfect tow bar angle.
What Blue Ox Towing Adapters Do
Blue Ox adjustable drop receivers are designed specifically for flat towing, helping align your tow bar and baseplate connection for optimal towing geometry. Rather than struggling with a mismatched setup, these adapters let you fine-tune the connection height so the tow bar rides level from motorhome to towed vehicle — an essential step for safe, wear-free travel.
When flat towing, it is crucial that the tow bar is level behind a motorhome, because towing out of level is extremely dangerous and can cause tow system failure. Blue Ox takes this engineering requirement seriously, offering a range of fixed and adjustable adapters to match virtually any height difference you might encounter.
Blue Ox Adapter Product Options
Towing adapters from Blue Ox come in several configurations to suit different receiver sizes and height requirements:
- The Blue Ox Adjustable Drop Hitch Receiver Adapter allows seamless adjustment of up to an 8-inch rise or drop, providing the flexibility needed for any towing situation. This model is available for standard 2" receivers.
- Blue Ox also offers a heavy-duty adapter for 2-1/2" hitches that provides up to an 8" rise or drop for high or low ground clearance. This larger-format version is rated at 15,000 lbs, making it well-suited for heavier motorhome setups.
- A fixed-offset model provides either a 6" rise or 6" drop to make up the height difference between an RV and a towed vehicle, rated at 5,000 lbs.
Built for Durability and Confidence
Built with heavy-duty steel construction, the Blue Ox hitch adapter handles a massive 10,000 lbs of gross towing weight and 1,000 lbs tongue weight, perfect for those with demanding towing needs. The adapter is constructed with a black powder coat finish that resists rust and corrosion — an important detail for components that face constant road exposure. An optional receiver add-on accessory allows you to use a bike rack or other hitch-mounted accessories while flat towing, available in either a 2" or 2.5" configuration.
