with that logic I can only assume that it is not a good idea to over engineer something?
No, over-engineering definitely has its merits.
However, in this case, when that 'over-engineering' means spending $1k more to get a tow bar with 10k capacity vs 8k, when you have a much 'weaker link' in the chain limited to 5k (hitch receiver)....No, sorry, I'm not sure I'd call that over-engineering a good idea. Thats just MHO, though.
(...And, thats without even getting into how much better and easier to use a brake system the Readybrake would be over an 'electronics box' type system like the Patriot.)
But, its the Original poster's decision, not ours. I just thought that since the initial post initially asked for ways to do this without spending as much $$, that saving a bunch by going with an integrated tow bar and brake system that'd cost $1k or more less, would be a good idea.
