We've got the blue ox alpha tow bar and the blue ox base plate that we use on our Honda CRV. It works great, easy to hitch and unhitch, and virtually invisible when we unhook to drive off.

But, it only worked for a few months after we had it installed earlier this year. Now the unit makes noise when the brakes should be applied, but it doesn't pull the brake pedal down. Roadmaster gave me some diagnostic advice, and suggested it is probably a kink in the hose that runs from the controller to the cylinder that operates the brake cable, so I've got to remove some panels and lift the carpet in the floor of the toad to find the issue. If I had it to do over, I probably would have chosen a different braking system.
