Hi,
I have a Blue Ox tow bar rated for 10000 lbs I use to tow an old Chevy Malibu[98].Not saying its the best just what I have and are satisfied with.
Check the towing laws for states u will be in,many require u to be able to stop in 40 feet from 25 mph,others different.I have unit that mounts small air cylinder from floor pan to brake pedal[cannot remember name] has breakaway brakes also.I cannot tell any difference whether I use it or not as far as stopping.I would have one just to cya
in case of accident. dave
