If you're talking about the Ready Brute Elite towbar, I've been using one for 8 years. It is easy to hook up to the Blue Ox baseplate I've got on the CRV. Easy to remove from the RV if I want to. Performance is fantastic. The inertia braking has always worked properly - no lockups or failures to engage. From open flat highway to steep mountain roads, it has worked fine.
I also got the "Protect a Tow" mat from Night Shift Auto when I got the tow bar. This is mesh heavy-duty fabric that runs from the bumper of the RV to the bumper of the tow vehicle. I can't say enough positive about it.. no rock chips on the tow (but tow does get very dusty especially when I drive on gravel roads). I needed to replace the edge elastic after 6 years of use but the fabric is still fine. No complaints from this user.
Did you encounter any problems connecting the brake cable to the toad brake? Was there any problem relative to adding the proper tension on the cable?
