#17 in Tow barFull review
For a large motorhome towing a heavy truck or SUV. Nothing else here is rated higher, but the warranty is short for the price.

2.9/5
For a light car on a budget, when you want the bar to ride on the car. Heavier vehicles need a receiver bar.

Pros
- Costs about half what a motorhome-mounted bar does
- Stays folded on the car, so nothing to store in the motorhome
- Couples to a 2 in ball, so it works without a receiver
Cons
- Rated for only 5,000 lb, so it suits small cars and light SUVs only
- Fits baseplates with tab widths of 23 to 30 in only
- Three year warranty
