Blue Ox

<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. For rigs that need a bit more reach or clearance, <a href="/1459-blue-ox-trailer-hitch-receiver-extension-48970">trailer hitch receiver extensions</a> round out the lineup, helping dial in the perfect connection geometry.</p><h3>Why Towing Enthusiasts Choose Blue Ox</h3><ul style="list-style:disc"><li><strong>Decades of manufacturing heritage</strong> dating back to 1925 in Pender, Nebraska</li><li><strong>Award-winning tow bars</strong> with multiple capacity tiers to match any towing vehicle</li><li><strong>Integrated sway control</strong> technology built into weight distribution systems like the SwayPro</li><li><strong>Complete towing ecosystems</strong> — baseplates, tow bars, hitches, wiring, and accessories designed to work together</li><li><strong>Broad vehicle coverage</strong> with applications for virtually every flat-towable vehicle on the road</li><li><strong>Training and support</strong> through a network of certified dealers and installers across the U.S. and Canada</li></ul><p>Whether you're setting up your first flat towing rig or upgrading a long-haul trailer setup, Blue Ox delivers the hardware and expertise to do it right.</p>

Product Details

The Blue Ox SwayPro BXW0550 is an innovative weight distribution hitch system with built-in sway control designed to prevent trailer sway before it starts. Unlike traditional friction-based systems that correct sway after it begins, the SwayPro uses a 4-point geometry and tension system to actively hold your trailer in line for safer, more stable towing.

Key Features:

  • Revolutionary Signature Series rotating latches safely tighten spring bar chains with easy wind-up action
  • Snap-in spring bar design eliminates pins and clips - bars self-lock into pivot heads
  • Noise-free operation with rotating latches and chain design - no friction system squealing
  • Standard hitch head with 7-hole adjustable shank (0" to 5" adjustment) and 9" receiver stinger
  • Spring steel bars rated for 350-550 lbs tongue weight and up to 6,000 lbs gross trailer weight
  • Fits 2" receiver hitches with up to 8" rise and 2" drop capability
  • Caster effect in hitch head constantly centers the trailer for improved handling
  • Clamp-on brackets require no drilling for quick installation
  • Durable powder coat over e-coat finish with steel construction
  • Grease zerks inside head assembly for clean, easy maintenance
  • Includes 2-5/16" hitch ball and all necessary hardware

The SwayPro system allows you to back up without disconnecting and works in any weather conditions. Complete system includes head assembly, adjustable shank, spring bars, lift chains, rotating lift brackets with handles, and all mounting hardware. Designed for trailers with standard overslung couplers welded to the top of the frame. Made in the USA.

Satisfactory

I searched the entire web looking for the best price on my item and found that Autoplicity beat everybody else in price & quality. Search no more!

Autoplicity had the best price on the VP fuel jugs, I ask if the could ship them out quickly and they did.

i was skeptical about this site but after reading the reviews and them having the lowest price i could find for my part i pulled the trigger and wasn't disappointed. fast shipping and low prices with great customer service will shop with them again if they have what im looking for.

The item arrived fast and in good condition. There however seems to be a glitch with the scale the first time we weighed something. After we shut it off and then back on it seemed to be OK.

I placed an order,18852,for a Husky Liner on June 19th and received it on June 21st. They have a great price and low cost shipping.

Quick shipping, good communication, low price, would purchase again from this company.
