Ready Brute 2 - 8,000 LB. Aluminum RV Tow Bar Kit (no braking system)
This is the Ready Brute 2 package and does not come with a brake. Our Ready Brute Elite II is the right choice for most applications.

We bundle all the vehicle-specific parts you'll need (Baseplate, light wiring) with our best-in-class aluminum tow bar. Our goal is to send you everything you need to tow a vehicle safely, legally, and easily for one low price. Just tell us what car you plan to tow in your order notes and our experts with put together all of the parts you'll need to tow.

This package includes:

- Blue Ox Baseplate and clevises
- Our Break Away kit (This will stop the tow car in an accident or breakaway situation)
- Universal Tail Light Wiring
- New for 2025- Our braking system is now even easier to install! Drilling a small hole in the firewall is no longer necessary.
- Our Ready Brake turnbuckle for even simpler hook-up
- Steal Clevis connectors included
- DL-100 Monitor System
- A cover for the tow bar and a tote bag
- Safety cables
FOR ROADMASTER BASEPLATES ONLY: THE "DIRECT CONNECT" STYLE BASEPLATE IS HIGHLY PREFERRED OVER THE "CROSSBAR-STYLE". IT IS RARE, BUT IF A DIRECT CONNECT STYLE BASEPLATE IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE A ROADMASTER CROSSBAR ASSEMBLY WHICH IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF THE PACKAGE.
IN SOME CASES WE CAN HOOK OUR TOW BAR TO TOW-GRADE AFTERMARKET BUMPERS BUT THEY WILL NEED A SPECIAL CLEVIS AND YOU'LL NEED TO CALL US SO WE CAN GET MEASUREMENTS AND GET YOU A QUOTE.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A BASEPLATE GIVE US A CALL AND WE CAN QUOTE YOU A COMPLETE PACKAGE WITHOUT A NEW BASEPLATE.
THE "CLEVISES" ARE THE ENDS OF THE TOW BAR THAT HOOK UP TO THE BASEPLATE YOU ARE USING. OTHER ONLINE SELLERS DO NOT INCLUDE THIS CRITICAL COMPONENT THAT YOU WILL NEED TO USE THE TOW BAR. LET US GET IT RIGHT FOR YOU THE FIRST TIME AND GET YOUR TOW BAR SYSTEM STRAIGHT FROM THE FACTORY!
Please add your tow vehicle details to the order notes and one of our towing experts will reach out to you by phone or email before shipping your order. This way we can make 100% sure we send you the correct vehicle-specific parts.
We aim to ship your order as quickly as possible, during the busiest times of the season, tow bar manufacturing lead times can be 3 weeks. If an item is not going to ship quickly, we will be in contact via phone or email. Please reach out if you have any questions on lead times.

Purchased my 1st Ready Brute from NSA in 2006. We pulled a Saturn Vue and later a Ford Edge. I just replaced with a new "Elite" a couple months ago. There was nothing wrong with the old equipment, it performed flawlessly from day 1. I find the brake system to be less invasive than some of the other forms of aux brake. Also very easy to set up a new vehicle to tow. Yes I would recommend.

Best tow bar I have ever used. It was easy to install, and the hook up is so easy. I can't say enough good things about this. Buy it if you're looking for a simple tow bar.

Ready Brute Elite works so well. Easy to attach, strong with a durable finish, instruction easy to follow and well written. Another great product of the USA. Workmanship is simply the best! Hats off to American manufacturing, well done.

Product quality is excellent, and apparent immediately upon opening the box. Also, I chose to work directly with the company, and they were great. I had a unique situation where I couldn't use the company mount on my Jeep (due to having a plow mount already), so I provided dimensions for my Jeep's D-rings (see attached picture) and the company made a custom fit mount. If I recall correctly, I don't think there was even an extra cost for customizing the mount. I didn't really have any problems, but I know the company would have been super supportive if I had needed anything. The connection system is very well designed, and easy to align. My sixteen year old son typically does the connection both ways 100% himself. After it is connected, there is a connection for the lighting, one to activate the brakes, and one as a safety that will lock the tow vehicle's brake if it someone got loose. Last year was the first towing our Jeep Unlimited. We towed from CT to the rockies, spent two months cruising around the Rocky Mountains, and then towed back from UT to CT again. We've been doing these trips for five years now, but this is the first time we towed a vehicle -- it was a massive improvement for the trip. I definitely recommend based on quality, connection design, and company support.

Very heavy duty and love the built in brake. Use it to tow a Honda CRV and a Nissan Frontier.
Rod
Another happy user. Only problem I had was self-induced. Simple and it works.
