Toad protection

We've towed our "05 Suzuki Grand Vitara over 90,000 miles through all the lower 48 without any problems. The GV was a dolled-up luxury version of a Jeep made in Japan that's not available since 2013. (Too bad, I'd buy a new one if I could) In the first few years we had it we made numerous "off the beaten path" trips so I made a Toad Screen to protect it from road debris. Here's some pics of it that also show our hookup.
As important as your tow bar is, I recommend you also put a lot of thought into your auxiliary braking system.
