Toad Brake System (your opinion)
Which brake system for your toad is the best, in your opinion? Why? We will be pulling a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, four on the ground. Give me your best shot. Thanks.

...the one most talk about is the Ready Brute with the ReadyBrake system. It's a surge brake that is attached to the tow bar and when you slow down, pressure is applied to the surge brake which in turn pulls a cable attached to your brake pedal. The cable is permanently attached and only takes moments to connect. I think it's one of the best, but in my opinion loses it's effectiveness once the air in the power booster is depleted. It needs an air pump.
NSA does offer an optional vacuum pump for the ReadyBrake that maintains a "live" brake booster. It's easy to test and see if one would be effective on a given toad before buying it. Just run a predetermined course with a variety of stops using the standard ReadyBrake setup, and then run the same course with the toad engine running at idle to maintain the vacuum booster. If the difference is noticeable, add the pump.
