As a newbie at towing a toad I just went with the most advertised/popular one called the Brake Buddy which IMHO was a mistake for me.
yes they all work but some easier than others!
"I" found over time the Brake Buddy became a REAL pain putting it in and out of a small toad.
For me I am tall, the car was really small and I just about had to get on my hands and knees to shove the BB in, reach under the steering wheel to put clamp on brake pedal, and set the controls, test it 3 times, etc. etc., etc. :R
Maybe ok for a weekend camper but I am a full timer so I was putting that darn thing in and out of the toad a lot and it sucked.
If I had do overs, and/or advice to you, I'd strongly suggest to buy one of the newer types that are automatic in line brake assist for your toad.
The forums members that have them will chime in with the brand names of them and how they work.
