SMI stay-n-play. Throw a switch to turn on or off. Applies power brakes thru a vacuum pump, and is progressive.

I second this one, nothing to monkey with and nothing to store (never seem to have enough storage).

X whatever for ReadyBrake. We have the ReadyBrute Elite tow bar with an integrated ReadyBrake system, and wouldn't have anything else for all the reasons previously stated. Hooking up just takes snapping a clip on a loop for the brake setup.

I towed for the first time recently and used the BB.......I had the sensitivity set at 3 and didn't feel that "tug" when I applied the brakes......I have a 3400 lb towed and pull with Class A.....this may be normal but I've thought about increasing to 4.....maybe 5.

we use Brake Buddy in our last two without any issues. The Ready Brake seems nice. However after watching the video there are some issues where we couldn't use it. Drop hitch ( ours is raised ). A two inch maximum height difference.Not a issue with the brake buddy.

Having that cable always attached to my brake pedal with the Ready Brake isn't something "I'd" be crazy about.Its most likely nothing to worry about, it's just something that wasn't designed with that permanently attached.

There's more than one way to make the pull cable level and having it hooked to the pedal at all times isn't a problem either, but having said that, I fabricated a quick release for it on ours, for when not in use and if so desired to disconnect it.

Now it's the Blue Ox Patriot.

M&G has been working great for 8 years. Nothing to store, but a coiled air line when not hooked up. Nothing electrical except on the the break away system, but it is extremely simple.

Ready Brake works for us just fine.

Readybrake, for the many reasons already mentioned. I won't have any other system.
