The Avail BX7425 is Blue Ox’s Class IV recreational tow bar for flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome. Blue Ox rates it to tow up to 10,000 pounds and lists it for a wide variety of towed vehicles, from larger cars to half-ton pickups and SUVs up to 10,000 pounds GVWR. It is built in steel and Blue Ox gives its weight as 42 pounds.

The BX7425 fits a 2.5-inch standard receiver. Blue Ox describes it as a self-aligning tow bar made to work on wide or narrow towed vehicles: connect the arms to the baseplate on the towed vehicle, drive the motorhome forward, and the arms extend and lock into towing position. Check your receiver opening before ordering, confirm the towed vehicle is approved for flat towing in its owner’s manual, and match a Blue Ox baseplate to that vehicle.

Off-set triple lugs and Blue Ox’s non-binding latches let you unhook on uneven terrain, and there is no centering pin to stow. Rubber boots cover the legs and safety cables are included. Blue Ox finishes the tow bar with a powder coat applied over an e-coat and covers it with a three-year warranty.

The BX7425 ships as a single carton measuring 45 × 6.25 × 5.75 inches with a shipping weight of 54 pounds. Those figures describe the shipping package; the 42-pound figure is Blue Ox’s weight for the tow bar itself.
