Blue Ox baseplates are engineered with a flex design that provides several key benefits to protect the vehicle's suspension during towing:

Shock absorption:
The baseplate flexes and absorbs shock during travel rather than rigidly transferring forces to the towed vehicle's frame.
This helps minimize wear and stress on the suspension components.

Even weight distribution:
The flex design allows the baseplate to distribute the weight and forces of towing more evenly across multiple attachment points.
This prevents concentrated stress on any single part of the suspension system.

Integrated chassis attachment feature:
This means they bolt directly into the vehicle's chassis at multiple points, providing a secure connection that doesn't overload the suspension. This design ensures a safe and reliable towing experience.

Custom-engineered for each vehicle:
The baseplates are custom-designed for specific vehicle models, ensuring proper fitment and load distribution for that particular suspension setup.

Torsional flexibility:
Similar to a receiver hitch, the baseplate is engineered to allow some torsional movement, which helps absorb road forces rather than transferring them directly to the suspension

By incorporating these design elements, Blue Ox baseplates aim to minimize suspension wear and maintain the towed vehicle's ride quality even after extensive flat towing. The flex design is a buffer between the towing forces and the vehicle's suspension components.

Unique State Road Laws That RVers Should Know

Here are five reasons why you need supplemental brakes...

1. Safety
Supplemental brakes...
• ...take the load off the motorhome so that both
vehicles brake in tandem, taking significantly less
time and distance to come to a controlled stop.
• ...relieve stress on the tow bar and the mount-
ing brackets — a panic stop without supplemental
brakes is a leading cause of tow system failure.
• ...reduce the chance of catastrophic brake failure
at the motorhome, as a result of sustained braking.
2. It’s required
According to the American Automobile Association,
most states, plus many Canadian provinces,
now require supplemental brakes if the towed weight
exceeds 3,000 pounds (see reverse).
3. Chassis warranty
Workhorse/Chevrolet will void your chassis war-
ranty if you tow more than 1,000 pounds without
supplemental brakes; Ford stipulates 1,500 pounds.
4. Wear and tear
Because they aren’t braking for two vehicles, your
motorhome brakes last longer.
5. It just makes good sense
Every other trailer on the road today — a fifth
wheel, travel trailer, boat trailer or a semi-trailer
— has its own braking system. When you’re towing
two or three extra tons, shouldn’t you have a supple-
mental braking system to stop it?
