<h3>Blue Ox: A Century of Towing Excellence</h3><p>Few names carry as much weight in the towing world as <strong>Blue Ox</strong>. <a href="/1459-blue-ox">Blue Ox</a> traces its manufacturing roots all the way back to 1925, when the parent company — Automatic Equipment Manufacturing — began building durable, purpose-driven equipment in Pender, Nebraska. Over the following decades, the brand evolved into one of the most recognized names in aftermarket towing, earning a loyal following among RV enthusiasts, weekend campers, and commercial towers alike.</p><p>What sets Blue Ox apart is a relentless focus on engineering products that are not only reliable but genuinely easy to use. Whether you're flat towing a car behind a Class A motorhome or hauling a loaded travel trailer across mountain passes, Blue Ox designs its products with real-world towing challenges in mind. The brand is known internationally for its tow bars and baseplates, sway control systems, and weight-distributing hitches — a product portfolio that continues to grow alongside customer needs.</p><h3>A Full Lineup Built for the Road Ahead</h3><p>At the heart of the Blue Ox catalog are its award-winning <a href="/1459-blue-ox-tow-bar-1200">tow bars</a>, which have become a benchmark for flat towing behind motorhomes. Models like the Avail and Ascent offer varying tow capacities and are engineered to work seamlessly with Blue Ox baseplates, giving drivers a complete and confidence-inspiring flat towing system.</p><p>For those towing heavier trailers and campers, Blue Ox's lineup of <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-weight-distribution-kit-48263">trailer weight distribution kits</a> is equally impressive. The flagship SwayPro and TrackPro systems use spring bars and integrated sway control to distribute tongue weight evenly across the axles of both the tow vehicle and trailer — reducing rear sag, improving steering feel, and keeping sway in check even in crosswinds or on rough roads.</p><p>A properly matched <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-hitch-1212">trailer hitch</a> is the foundation of any towing setup, and Blue Ox offers a range of hitch options designed to integrate tightly with their broader towing ecosystem. Completing the system, Blue Ox also produces <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-wiring-adapter-connector-2632">trailer wiring adapter connectors</a> to ensure your brake lights, turn signals, and running lights communicate reliably between vehicles — an often-overlooked but critical part of safe towing.

Product Details

The Blue Ox BXW0873 2-Point Weight Distribution Hitch is a revolutionary towing solution designed specifically for trailers with underslung couplers welded to the bottom of the frame. This heavy-duty hitch combines both weight distribution and integrated sway control in one system, delivering a safer and more controlled towing experience.

Dual-Function Design:

Unlike traditional weight distribution hitches, the 2-Point system handles both weight distribution and sway control simultaneously. The loaded spring bars work in conjunction with friction L-brackets to create steel-on-steel contact that actively minimizes trailer sway. By redistributing weight to the tow vehicle's front axles, this hitch improves steering control and braking performance, making your towing experience safer and more predictable.

Key Specifications:

  • Underslung coupler hitch head for trailers with bottom-mounted couplers
  • 800 lbs. maximum tongue weight capacity
  • 8,000 lbs. maximum gross towing weight
  • Standard 6-hole adjustable shank for precise height adjustment
  • Fits 2" receiver hitches
  • Pre-installed chrome-plated 2-5/16" hitch ball (12K rated)
  • Heavy-duty steel construction with powder coat over e-coat finish

Features & Benefits:

  • Round spring bars flex for a smooth, controlled ride
  • Rigid L-brackets securely hold spring bars in place
  • Clamp-on brackets for secure attachment
  • Back up without disconnecting the system
  • Easy installation with basic hand tools
  • Backed by Blue Ox limited lifetime warranty

The Blue Ox 2-Point system evenly disperses trailer tongue weight across both the tow vehicle and trailer axles through connecting spring bars, ensuring optimal weight distribution and stability. Whether you're towing a travel trailer, utility trailer, or boat, this hitch provides the control and confidence you need on the road.

This harness fit perfectly super easy plug n play installation and great price.

The instructions state the need for a 13mm socket but it's a 14 that's needed. Also the spacers on the light bar are too big to use both in the bull bar. Had to split one in half. Also, absolutely ZERO instructions with the light bar installation in the bull bar was infuriating.

Great price
