<h3>About Blue Ox Towing Products</h3><p>Few names carry as much weight in the towing world as <strong>Blue Ox</strong>. Rooted in a manufacturing heritage that stretches back to 1925 in Pender, Nebraska, Blue Ox has spent a century refining the art of hitching up and heading out. <a href="/1459-blue-ox">Blue Ox</a> is recognized internationally for producing towing equipment that is as dependable on mountain passes as it is on open plains — built for RVers, truck owners, and weekend adventurers alike.</p><p>The company began entering the recreational towing market in the early 1980s and, through strategic growth, evolved into a premier aftermarket towing manufacturer. Today, Blue Ox engineers and produces a comprehensive lineup that covers virtually every towing scenario on the road. Whether you're flat-towing a vehicle behind a motorhome or hauling a loaded travel trailer down the interstate, there's a Blue Ox product designed specifically for the task.</p><h3>A Complete Towing Ecosystem</h3><p>What sets Blue Ox apart is its commitment to building an integrated towing system rather than one-off components. At the heart of their lineup are their award-winning <a href="/1459-blue-ox-tow-bar-1200">tow bars</a>, including the popular Alpha and Avail models, which have earned a loyal following among flat-towing enthusiasts for their solid construction and easy setup. These work in concert with vehicle-specific baseplates to create a seamless connection between motorhome and towed vehicle.</p><p>For drivers pulling conventional trailers, Blue Ox's <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-weight-distribution-kit-48263">trailer weight distribution kits</a> are a standout solution. The flagship SwayPro and TrackPro systems go beyond simple weight redistribution — they actively manage trailer sway using pre-loaded spring bars that counter the forces of crosswinds, rough roads, and passing trucks. The result is a dramatically more stable and controlled towing experience.</p><p>A complete towing setup also depends on solid attachment points and reliable electrical connections. Blue Ox's <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-hitch-1212">trailer hitches</a> provide the foundational connection between tow vehicle and trailer, engineered to handle everything from light-duty loads to heavy commercial hauls. Their <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-wiring-adapter-connector-2632">trailer wiring adapter connectors</a> ensure your brake lights, turn signals, and running lights communicate flawlessly between vehicles — an essential safety element often overlooked until something goes wrong. For situations where a standard hitch receiver isn't quite in the right position, Blue Ox <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-hitch-receiver-extension-48970">trailer hitch receiver extensions</a> provide the necessary adjustment to achieve proper tow bar or hitch alignment.</p><h3>Built on a Century of Trust</h3><p>Blue Ox maintains a national network of trained and certified dealers, and even runs an RV park adjacent to its Nebraska factory — hosting traveling customers and conducting installation training sessions across the U.S. and Canada throughout the year. This dedication to the customer experience, from product design through post-sale support, reflects a brand that understands towing isn't just a mechanical exercise. It's about the confidence to go wherever the road leads.</p><ul><li>Extensive product lineup covering flat towing, trailer towing, and 5th wheel applications</li><li>Flagship SwayPro and TrackPro weight distribution systems with integrated sway control</li><li>Award-winning tow bar models engineered for quick connection and rugged durability</li><li>Full ecosystem of wiring, receiver extensions, and hitch accessories</li><li>Certified dealer and installer network spanning the U.S. and Canada</li></ul>

This vehicle-specific bracket provides secure attachment points for flat towing behind motorhomes and RVs, compatible with Timberline, Adaptive Cruise Control-equipped, and EcoBoost variants.
Key Features:
This baseplate is designed to work with Blue Ox tow bars and provides a solid, durable connection between the towed vehicle and towing vehicle. The removable tabs allow you to maintain the vehicle's aesthetic when not actively towing. Compatible with either BX8869 tail light wiring kit (for vehicles with bulb-type lights) or BX8848 wiring kit (for LED tail lights), sold separately.
Important: This baseplate is only compatible with Ford Expedition models equipped with 4-Low transfer case. Verify your vehicle's flat-towing capability in the owner's manual before installation, as supplementary brake systems and towed vehicle electrical connections are required and sold separately.
