Blue Ox Tow Bar Product Review

Blue Ox is one of the foremost providers of heavy duty hauling accessories in the United States. They distribute everything from steering controls to braking systems to sport carriers, and everything in between.

The company has been serving the public since the 1920s, and its customer service associates are second to none. The company website features an e-newsletter, news releases, and contact page to keep its customers up to date with the most current updates. Their motto “We’re behind you all the way” is more than a snappy marketing ploy-it’s a promise.

In the automotive accessories industry, however, Blue Ox is best known for its tow bars.

Their flagship tow bar is the Aventa LX tow bar, and its one of the strongest and most versatile tow bars in the business.

It is made of pure steel for added strength and resilience, and is classified as a Class IV tow bar.

It features a revolutionary design-a ball in socket design incorporating a spherical joint rather than a standard bolted joint, allowing for a stronger, more durable connection that is strong enough to pull almost anything on wheels.

The Aventa LX weighs in at a whopping 42 pounds-by far the heaviest tow bar offered by the company. But not a single ounce of that weight is wasted, as it offers the most towing power of the Blue Ox line-any vehicle up to 10,000 pounds. That’s almost enough to pull a tank-well, not quite, but you get the idea.

But the best feature of the Aventa LX is its incredible ease of use. The engineers at Blue Ox have created the tow bar with such expertise that the process of connecting two vehicles is almost effortless, and its user-friendly design is perfect for all the mechanical novices on the road.

It features a 360 degree swivel ability that allows you to hook up vehicles even if they aren’t properly aligned. You can even use the swivel to connect vehicles that are on uneven surfaces, which is fantastic if you’re to pull a vehicle out of a ditch or out from the bottom of a hill.

It has a self-tightening picot connection, which helps if you haven’t perfectly arranged the towing vehicle in front of the trailing vehicle. The legs collapse and extend at your discretion for greater flexibility in attaching and detaching the tow bar from each vehicle.

It disconnects quickly and easily, and even comes with rubber boots to protect the tow bar from road grime. For a complete Aventa LX how-to instruction manual, you can visit http://www.blueox.us/PDFS/BX7445.pdf

And of course it comes with a limited lifetime warranty, so feel free to purchase with impunity.

Really, what more could you ask for in a tow bar?

For those searching for a combination of power and convenience, the Aventa LX tow bar from Blue Ox is definitely worth a look. For pricing and dealer information, please visit http://www.blueox.us/dealers.htm–believe me, you’ll be glad you did.
