I have used for years, and still use, a fixed-arm adjustable width towbar on my Jeep. IIRC, I paid $145 many years ago. An updated model was available from Walmart the last time I looked, for $165. In almost 20 years of towing various vehicles (mostly Jeeps), it has been absolutely trouble free. As with so many things, some people swear BY them, some swear AT them. I am very happy with mine. With the right after-market bumper on the Jeep, it is quite easy to hook it up by myself. I do it often!
IF I were ever to get a more expensive telescoping towbar, it would be the ReadyBrute towbar with integrated braking system. IMO, it is the ONLY system that makes sense. Relatively inexpensive, simple, mechanical (no magic electronics to malfunction and destroy the brakes on the towed vehicle), easy to install, adjust and repair (not that it needs repair all that often, VERY FEW trouble reports have been posted.)
