Ultratravler Report post Posted February 17, 2012 I am looking for a Blue Ox tow bar. There are a lot of used ones out there. What does a person need to look for when buying used? Or, am I better off spending the money on a new one? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OkieDave Report post Posted February 17, 2012 I got a used Blue Ox tow bar and it has served me well for four years. The main thing I looked for was how tight the joints were. Those are the parts that move, and wear. If the movable parts are "sloppy," then I would pass on that one. Mine were tight and I'm happy. Also, what is the reason they are selling? Make sure that it fits your baseplate. Some of the older ones do not have adapters to fit some of the newer baseplates. That's how I got mine. The previous owner bought a new car and there was not a baseplate that would fit his tow bar, so he bought a new tow bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
