- We tow either a 2008 smart car with a Blue Ox tow bar system, or a 2006 Ural Tourist on a Kendon 2-rail trailer.
- I use a 2007 Chevrolet HHR, added base plate and magnetic stop/turn lights. Turn key to acc. position, put in neutral, and go. I use a Brakebuddy aux. brake system.
- We are towing our third Mazda Miata. This one, a 2012.
Added a baseplate, tow bar, under tow lighting, no aux. brake.
Start. put it in neutral and go.
Stop, put the top down and go explore.

- 2005 Jeep Liberty. Very simple
- 2010 Subaru Impreza sedan. There are no restrictions but only the manual transmission Subarus may be towed 4 wheels down. It weighs about 3200 lbs so it is towable by most motorhomes.
- 2007 Saturn Vue AWD. Blue Ox base plate and a Readybrake Brute tow bar. Added lights to existing tail lenses.
- 2013 Kia Soul Manual Trans. Roadmaster towbar and baseplates unified brake system. Great small toad we have towed over 7000 miles no issues.
- We're towing our second Toyota RAV4. I installed the required Remco transmission pump, along with a Blue Ox base plate. We tow using a ReadyBrute Elite tow bar with an integrated ReadyBrake auxiliary brake system. We chose the RAV4 because we already had the first one, a 2002, and really liked it. When it was time for something newer, all of the tow gear except the base plate could be moved to a new 2011 RAV4, so that's what we did. They both tow well, and haven't given us any problems.
- See Signature.
Nothing...other than the std base plate, tow bar, wiring harness, and supplemental brakes.
Plug in the umbilical, turn the key to ACC, and put in neutral. It initially did require the removal of a fuse to disengage the items that typically are turned on with the key in ACC, but I replaced the fuse with a on/off lighted rocker switch.
Ron - We are towing a Ford C-Max Energi. Great plug in electric/gas hybrid. After driving 1500 miles we still have some of the dealer's original tank of gas. Tows great 4 down. Have Blue Ox base plate and hitch.Use Ready Brake with break away. Did install charge line.
