The base price for the Hercules is $1098.90 but you'll also require a connector clevis specific to the baseplate on your vehicle.  See pricing below:

*If you have a specialized baseplate contact us (we see this mostly with modified Jeep's). We can make a custom clevis to fit your setup at our factory for an additional cost. In this case, please order the "No Clevis" option and call us for a price. Otherwise just select the baseplate you plan to use and we'll include the appropriate steel clevis.

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%.
