THOR #5047
Blue Ox Alpha 6,500 lb Tow Bar With Autostop Brake

Any one use this? Thinking of this as opposed to a tow bar and Blue Ox Patriot system.

I use the Blue Ox tow bar and the Ready Brake system. The principle is the same. Works good for our Jeep Patriot. Would help if we knew what you were towing, others maybe able to compare with like size vehicles.

also doing the Blue Ox tow bar with Ready Brake towing a Saturn Aura. Ready Brake is great cause its mechanical and does not rely on power or electronics that can fail.
