Switching to 4-flat towing

Just bought a 2017 Chev Colorado and think I'll tow it 4flat rather than on a dolly. Looking at a BlueOx system. Would like input as to if BLue Ox is a good system. Google reviews seem to show that they are. Also looking for a good, easy to use braking system. BlueOx offers a system called Patriot... Also, DW question....when towing 4 flat with the 4wheel in neutral, does the odometer on towed vehicle register miles? I just want an easy to use system without having to do alot like pull fuses, etc.....

THANKS

BlueOx is an old and established company that has many followers like Michelin and other brands of consumer goods. I'm not one of these disciples and I don't necessarily limit myself to buying Bayer aspirin for saving me a heart attack, either.
Having said all that, we've been using an NSA READYBRUTE/ELITE. Alum. bars and rated at 8K lbs. also comes with the simplest toad braking setup possible. We coupled this to a DEMCO baseplate and haven't touched any of it, since I personally installed it, some time and mucho miles ago. IMO, it's the best bang for the buck as well, but to each his own, as they say and you don't always get what you pay for. I just don't feel that more expensive and complicated, always makes it better.
