Readybrute elite

[stargirl96]

Most who tow a car seem to prefer to tow with all four wheels down. Based on advice we received we bought a Readybrute elite tow bar and outfitted our CRV so it could be towed. This tow bar is not an easy thing to set up as it's very heavy and awkward. I wonder if this is common with all tow bars, or if other brands are easier to hook up to a car. I've thought about buying a different brand or perhaps going to a tow dolly, but I don't want to put more money into something that isn't an improvement over what we have now.

If you mean that mounting the tow bar on the MH is heavy and awkward then I agree. However once mounted I have no reason to remove my tow bar or related toad equipment. While I have a different brand tow bar they are all somewhat similar.

More explanation about what what you are experiencing may help.

I’m surprised you find it heavy. I have a Ready Brute and have been using it since 04.

Its aluminum so they don’t get a lot lighter. One thing I learned is to put a pin in the base plate on one side to balance one arm while you connect the other.

Not sure if there are vids on YouTube.

My BlueOx is easy.

Sometimes takes my across the street neighbor five minutes to hookup and sometimes thirty but she does it all alone and hasn’t complained about the weight.
