My first toad was an 89 Chev Geo. I just went to a welder and had a fixed tow bar and brackets mounted. About $100. PITA to hook and un hook. Now use Blue Ox on my Jeep. Some states require toad brakes, other states don't. If you plan on crossing state lines I would get toad brakes. Total cost of setting up Jeep for me was about $2200. Under normal driving conditions for me my toad brakes rarely energize except stopping for a signal on a down hill freeway off ramp. However, I am legal.
