Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC8831 tow slider used for?
The RTC8831 tow slider is the adjustable saddle in the Dixon Bate adjustable tow bracket system. It slides vertically in the bracket housing and is held by a single pin, letting you set the tow coupling height to match different trailer hitch heights.
Where does the tow slider sit in the towing setup?
The tow slider sits inside the Dixon Bate adjustable tow bracket, which mounts to the vehicle's rear crossmember. The saddle carries the tow ball or coupling and moves up or down within the bracket to set the towing height.
How many tow sliders do I need?
One tow slider is typically needed per Dixon Bate adjustable bracket, since it's the single sliding saddle that carries the coupling. Check your existing bracket before ordering, as only the Dixon Bate adjustable type uses this saddle.
Is the RTC8831 the same as STC50259 or BA 2096?
Yes, RTC8831 is cross-referenced to STC50259 and BA 2096, the same Dixon Bate adjustable saddle. Fitment depends on having the Dixon Bate adjustable tow bracket rather than a specific vehicle model, so confirm your bracket type.
