Ready Brute Elite II Tow Bar/Brake
Is anyone familiar with the Ready Brute Elite II tow bar with surge braking? I'm curious as to how well the braking system works.
Forum Discussion
As we are just getting started flat towing our 2014 Honda CRV. We are using the "Ready Brute Elite".
I can say the whole installation process was easy, so far no problems. The Ready Brute people were good to work with and helpful. We have, so far, only taken around the block type shake down/setup trips. These were to mostly dial in the cable adjustment and actually see the brake pedal moving when applying the brakes.
I can say so far we are happy with our choice, and am looking forward to more extended shake down/trips to get more comfortable with the whole process.
So familiar? Well, we are getting there. As soon as things start to open up and the campgrounds start opening in our area, then I will be able to report with. more experience.
I don't want to open the can of worms about supplemental braking systems, and I fully support the use of supplemental braking systems, check the actual laws in your state about the requirement for braking systems. I was surprised when I read up on my state laws and the DMV handbook relating to recreation flat towing.
