Supplemental Braking
In the next few months we hope to be able to get our 2016 Ford Focus (manual) set up for flat towing. Been looking around at the options and I like the idea of the Ready Brute Elite with the surge bra...

I tried using a cable disconnect at the pedal several years ago, but I found that over time, the cable housing at the front bumper sometimes gathered enough road crud to make it stick when hooked up again. With the cable always connected to the pedal, the regular movement of the cable seems to prevent that. If you switch to a different vehicle later on, there is a "second car" kit available at a nominal price that includes only the cable assembly. When we switched from our 2002 RAV4 to a new 2011 RAV4 though, I was able to move the existing cable from one to the other fairly easily. Only the correct Blue Ox base plate had to be purchased due to a front end redesign. We've been using our ReadyBrute Elite setup since 2008, and have no complaints with it.
