Here I go again... How about a short car hauler trailer? It comes with electric brakes, gets rid of needing to add complexity to a HHR and lessens the wear & tear on the HHR. Put a hitch on the HHR so you can move the trailer around when you drop it from the Born Free. Then you have a trailer to use for other chores as well. There's a couple of steep grades in the country where you might want to drop the HHR off the trailer and have the wife follow you. Easy to do.
While I agree with the trailer idea, one must be realistic. An E450 chassis will either have a 3500 lb towing capacity or 5000 lb. capacity.
Even an aluminum trailer plus a 3200 pound car would exceed the 3500 lb capacity, and how many of us can afford even a good used aluminum car hauler?
A steel trailer will come close to the 5000 lb. capacity.
Would I, personally, worry about it? Probably not. After all, I towed my Jeep (see sig.) with an E350 based Class C.
Would I state that somebody else should not be concerned? Of course not.
To answer the OP question, the ReadyBrute integrated towbar/braking system is an excellent choice, especially with the breakaway system added.
Good luck.
