Does the Blue Ox Autostop tow bar elimanate the need for a braking device inside the towed car?
Well,
Yes & No. Yes, in the fact that you won't need any of those "Robots" that sit on the floor and you need to hook to the brake pedal every time you get ready to tow. No, in the fact that, that Blue Ox unit is identical to the NSA Ready Brake unit. It's an inertia operated mechanism that sits in between your tow bar and your coaches receiver.
Like the Ready Brake, it pulls on a cable that is attached to your brake pedal in the toad. It's a simple mechanism. We used the Ready Brake system for years. I recently changed over to the M&G system. Way cleaner and, it's not effected by the exhaust brake on the coach, like the Ready Brake was.
