We towed with an "old school" tow bar for several years and it worked flawlessly. However, now that we use a Blue Ox setup I wouldn't want to go back. I guess I'm just getting too lazy in my old age!

We have the old style Blue Ox triangle tow bar with locking collars so the bar can be closed/collapsed and left on the toad. We bought it for $25 from a friend whos parents quit traveling.

Ran onto a deal on a Blue Ox Aventa with safety cables and wiring harness for less than $400 and it looked like it had never been on a vehicle. All connections very tight.

Old bar hangs in the garage & $25 takes it away.

I would love to have that for $25.  How far from Houston are you (for shipping)?

How large is it and about how much does it weigh?  Might be able to ship it UPS
