Breaking System

Be especially careful about the installation of the tow bar base plate on the Liberty. Make sure it is professionally installed and checked frequently. We have pulled a Blue Ox base plate completely off our 2003 Liberty Twice! The metal in box beams that the base plate is attached to is very thin. I can send you photos by PM.

Camping World was unable to install a Invis-Brake under the driver's seat but installed it on the floor behind the seat.

This being the case, I think I would be doing some re-enforcing of my own, so that I could be sure of what I had.
These vehicles are evidently nothing like the JK Wrangler and with the way they're built, cuz I really can't see that happening with ours.
I'd still go with the READYBRAKE and be sure to install the READYSTOP breakaway feature, as well.

Another vote for RVi 2 brake system. Absolutely no problems at all, works like a champ with my Blue Ox towbar and 2013 Rubicon.

RVi Brake 2

Blue Ox also has "hidden" style base plates. And the ReadyBrute Elite tow bar/brake system can be ordered equipped to connect to Blue Ox, Demco, or Roadmaster tow bars, with no adapters needed.

You may want to check out Roadmaster Base Plates/Tow Bar Brackets. They offer many in "hidden" styles. They also offer adapter kits for all manufacturers' Tow Bars.

For two toads, the ReadyBrake is still a good choice. A "second car" extra cable harness kit is only $77.

Exactly. I have the Readybrake cable/harness installed on both of our two everyday driving vehicles (Kia minivan and Ford Fusion hybrid), can tow either one of them easily with Readybrake. No need to put anything in or take anything out when switching between the two. Much easier than any brak-in-a-box system.

What brand base plates are you using with these two vehicles?

Blue Ox, on both of them.

I have the Brake Buddy and I like it. I have two toads and I move it between the toads. I have never been tempted to not put it in when I am towing.
