Looking for a tow bar
#8

I use 10,000 Lb. rated Blue Ox because I started out with one and then have been given a couple more along with lots of spare parts.  I had to weld one Blue Ox baseplate that cracked due to my negligence in noticing the bolts were loose which caused the crack.  The tow bar I'm currently using will be retired today when I arrive at my stick house, I have another to take it's place.  I do not like Blue Ox policy of not rebuilding anything 8 years old but I understand why.  The tow bar I'll start using is one Blue Ox rebuilt a few years ago and has not been used since.  I have no idea what brand I would use if I had to buy one.

I use M&G 2.0 braking system.  I believe it is basically the same as Air Force One, the difference being the M&G air cylinder is mounted externally while the AF1 is mounted inside the cab.  For the Ram truck I chose the M&G external mounted cylinder, a personal choice since I install my own baseplates and braking systems.
