## Description

The CURT universal tow bar offers a convenient way to bring an extra vehicle along on your RV getaways. The universal tow bar latches onto your vehicle's bumper or frame using a pair of bumper brackets and then couples to a ball mount on your RV trailer hitch. The vehicle can then be towed behind your RV, allowing you more freedom and mobility once you reach your destination. When towing a vehicle behind your RV, it is essential to have working towing lights just like if you were towing a trailer. CURT magnetic towing lights easily stick to your vehicle and connect to your RV to provide that added measure of safety. There is nothing like camping in an RV. The home-away-from-home comfort, mixed with the freedom to explore the outdoors, makes it an experience unlike any other. At CURT, we know how much you look forward to the weekend camping trips, the cross-country journeys and the excursions down uncharted roads, and that is why we provide towing solutions that are totally dedicated to recreational vehicle towing.

Review: Way stronger than it looks - Put it on my jeep cherokee crawler, to tow behind my truck to the desert. Had an incident that proved to be one hell of a stress test on it. The jeep was out of order and we were getting a run at my driveway that has a big curb at the beginning. So we put a bungie on the tow bar to hold it up and used a 4 wheeler to get the jeep up to speed to pop over the curb. It all sounded good at the time. So we got the jeep up to about 20mph, slam on the brakes with the 4 wheeler, and right before the curb, the bungie pop off and the tow bar drop to the ground, the jeep pushed the towbar right into the curb. P0W..... the front of the jeep flew up in the air and was resting with the towbar flip backwards with the front axle on top of it. It bent the ends of the unaframe, but when we got the jeep off the towbar, the mounts were perfect, the towbar was perfect. The jeep, well, she got some needed reinforcement. Good buy, would totally buy again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this hook up to the d-rings on a jeep wrangler?  I dont want to install the brackets since I have d-rings.**
A: I don't think it will. The pin that holds the tow bar must go thru a horizontal bracket.......i think the "D" ring you have is horizontal too so there would be no place to insert the pin.  So I don't think they are compatible.

**Q: Can the Width of this go smaller than 24".  I need it to be 15 inches to tow a leaf vacuum?**
A: yeah the two arms can touch during storage, so you just tighten bolts at desired width.

**Q: will this work to tow a 2013 honda fit from an rv? do i need to purchase more items or is this a complete kit?**
A: Everything I needed was in the kit. No additional purchase was required. With regards to rv towing, I’m not sure. Certainly durable enough, just not sure about figment. My son had a ‘92 wrangler YJ. we used this to tow the Jeep from MD to TN behind my Tahoe. Towed like a champ.

**Q: Will this work with the roadmaster EZ twisterlock brackets??**
A: It is not designed for that application.  With some modifications you could make it work, But the best plan is to buy a Roadmaster tow bar.
