$1,200.00 - $1,260.00
More than just a towbar, the ReadyBrute™ Elite combines our high quality aluminum towbar with our revolutionary ReadyBrake™ supplemental surge tow braking system. The ReadyBrake is made of steel to insert into your RV receiver and everything is powder coated for extra durability. 8,000 pounds of towing capacity means this towbar will work well with most towable vehicles from the smallest compact car to a full size truck. This is an All-Terrain towbar because it is easy to hook up and unhook on uneven surfaces since the clevis connectors can rotate and swivel. Rubber boots cover the towbar leg extensions to keep out dirt for a bind free operation and when you are finished towing just fold the legs up then latch them to stow on your Motorhome receiver. Both the ReadyBrake and the ReadyBrute are covered by our Limited Lifetime Warranty.

How The Integrated Ready Brake Works:
When you brake while towing a vehicle behind an RV, stopping distance is increased due to the weight of the vehicle and it's momentum pushing against the RV. The ReadyBrake uses this energy to compress a shock and spring inside it which allows an actuator arm to move forward, pulling down your towed vehicle brake pedal with an attached cable. It takes a few hundred pounds of pressure to activate the ReadyBrake, so the towed vehicle will follow the RV down a steep mountain grade only applying brakes when you do. After initial install, only an adjustable sling cable is used to connect or disconnect the ReadyBrake. We recommend leaving about 2 inches of slack in the adjustable sling cable to keep the brake from activating while going over dips like at a gas station. When the RV comes to a complete stop the ReadyBrake actuator arm stays in the forward position continuing to hold the towed vehicle brake pedal down until the RV moves forward a couple of inches to disengage it. Use of the ReadyBrake can decrease stopping distance by upwards of 30%.
