I just purchased a Jeep Wrangler to tow and I am setting it up myself. I just started ordering parts. Between the Roadmaster Nighthawk tow bar and base plate, wiring and the RVi portable brake system I am around $3100 in parts. I will probably add a Tow Defender screen to protect it from rocks and debris so that will be another $450.
If you are having them install a permanent brake system, that can take 3 - 6 hours to install so there is a lot of labor right there. I could install the permanent brake system but I don't feel like investing that much time and effort. Plus I like the idea of being able to move such an expensive part of the system to another vehicle easily.
The base plate is probably another 2 hours in labor and the tow bar next to no time at all but they will charge an hour at least to set it up and test everything.
Depending on labor rates..... that could be 8 - 10 hours of total labor so at least $800 - $1000, if not more.
