The Apollo BX7475 is Blue Ox’s Class V recreational tow bar for flat towing a vehicle behind a motorhome, in the 2-inch receiver version. Blue Ox rates it to tow up to 12,500 pounds, and it is an all-steel tow bar.
The BX7475 fits a 2-inch standard receiver. If your hitch takes a 2.5-inch shank, Blue Ox sells the same Apollo tow bar as part number BX7470, which it rates at 15,000 pounds. 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.
The Apollo is self-aligning: connect the arms to the baseplate on the towed vehicle, drive the motorhome forward, and the arms extend and lock into towing position. 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 BX7475 ships as a single carton measuring 46.5 × 8.5 × 8 inches with a shipping weight of 65 pounds. Those figures describe the shipping package rather than the tow bar itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What receiver size does the BX7475 fit?
A 2-inch standard receiver. Blue Ox sells the 2.5-inch version of the Apollo as BX7470, rated at 15,000 pounds, so confirm which opening your hitch has before ordering.
How much can the Apollo BX7475 tow?
Blue Ox rates the BX7475 at 12,500 pounds. Blue Ox also notes that the hitch, the motorhome chassis and the safety cables must each be rated for at least the weight of the vehicle being towed, so the lowest of those ratings governs.
Is the Apollo steel or aluminum?
Steel. Blue Ox lists the BX7475 as an all-steel tow bar.
What do the 65-pound and 46.5 × 8.5 × 8-inch figures describe?
Those are the packed carton: 65 pounds shipping weight and 46.5 × 8.5 × 8 inches of box.
What else do I need to flat tow?
The tow bar connects to a Blue Ox baseplate installed on the towed vehicle, so you need the baseplate for that specific vehicle. Confirm the vehicle is approved for flat towing in its owner’s manual, and check the supplemental braking requirements where you travel — Blue Ox notes a supplemental brake is required with no exception when entering Canada.
