Blue Ox

<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>

Product Details

The Blue Ox BX2698 is a custom-fit baseplate designed specifically for 2021-2025 Ford Bronco models equipped with a standard bumper, including vehicles with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), active shutters, and EcoBoost engines. This vehicle-specific baseplate provides a secure mounting point for flat towing your Bronco behind an RV or motorhome.

Key Features:

  • Custom-designed to bolt securely to the Bronco's chassis for maximum strength
  • Hidden reinforcements maintain vehicle aesthetics while providing robust towing capability
  • Removable attachment tabs allow the baseplate to be virtually invisible when not towing
  • Distributes towing forces evenly across the vehicle's frame to minimize stress on suspension
  • Durable powder coat and e-coat finish for long-lasting corrosion resistance
  • Tab dimensions: 19.5" height x 30.5" width
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware and detailed installation instructions

This baseplate integrates seamlessly with the Bronco's bumper design and is compatible with vehicles featuring ACC sensors, active shutters, and EcoBoost powertrains. The removable tabs feature a simple twist-and-lock installation that can be removed when not in use for a clean appearance. Blue Ox recommends pairing this baseplate with the BX8848 tail light wiring kit for complete towing setup. Backed by Blue Ox's three-year limited warranty.

Important: Verify your specific Bronco's flat-towing compatibility in your owner's manual, as transmission type and drivetrain configuration affect towability. Additional equipment such as a supplemental braking system may be required and is sold separately.
