Towing a Jeep Liberty

Some depends on your preferences. Here's my opinion since you asked for it. Assuming money is a factor in your life, to get the most bang for your buck this is what I would do.

1. Base plate - Stick with the known mfg. Remco, BlueOx etc. My preference is BlueOx mainly because I've had excellent results from their service personnel at rallies etc.

2. Tow bar - again personal preference. I've used several but the absolute best I've found is the ReadyBrute from NSA. It also incorporates the ReadyBrake system which is a proportional braking system so no external braking system is required. No extra 'stuff' to plug in, no extra 'stuff' to wire up, etc. etc.

3. ReadyStop - This little jewel runs a cable between your coach and toad. If the toad disconnects from the coach it will stop in it's tracks. This prevents the toad from potentially sailing across the fwy and hitting someone head on.

4. Wiring - again personal preference. You can use the toad's wiring system and tap into it with no issues but you'll need a diode to prevent back feeding, you can add separate bulbs by drilling a hole in the existing tail light housing and wire a complete separate system, or you can buy the magnetic light bars from Harbor Freight that you place on the roof of the toad. I prefer to use the Jeep's existing wiring and run it through there.

That's it. If you're not doing the work yourself, expect to pay about $1000 for the materials and about $500 in labor for the install. Best of luck....Dennis
