Atlas 12,000 lb. RV Tow Bar Kit (no braking system)
This is the Atlas tow bar package and does not come with a brake. Our Hercules tow package has a built-in brake and is the ideal choice if you are setting up a new car. The Atlas should only be chosen if you already have another brake or plan to use a brake other than our Ready Brake. You'll need a braking system to tow safely and legally.

We bundle all the vehicle-specific parts you'll need (Baseplate, light wiring) with our best-in-class 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE: THE PRICE OF THIS FLAT TOWING KIT INCLUDES THE ATTACHMENT CLEVIS AND A NEW BASEPLATE. CURRENT OPTIONS ARE BLUE OX OR ROADMASTER.
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!
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.

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.

Recently bought a Ready Brute elite towbar with safety cables, break away kit and accessories. Great people, great products! Very helpful staff, and very nice manufactured towbar. I installed the brake cable and other accessories on a jeep jk 2015 Wrangler, hooked it up to the Ready Brute Elite and it works like a charm! Not sure why anyone would want to mess with any other braking system, this thing is awesome! Thanks for a great product!

I have NSA’s Hercules model. Very happy with it. It is VERY stout. The braking system works fantastic and we have never had any problems with the setup. Highly recommend it.

Lightest, simplest, tow/brake system I could find. Beats the snot out of the "bowling-ball bag" types that you have to lug into and out of the driver's compartment.

We purchased an NSA Brute Ready Brake Tow Bar System in late 2018 to flat tow our 1999 Jeep TJ, The kit came with everything we needed to connect and flat tow our Jeep. It features emergency break-a-way stoping system, braking, quick connect lights, safety cables. The kit was very easy to install. We're based in Florida we've used this system to tow safely all over the United States, over twenty-five thousand miles with no issues. Because we're planning a few long trips we decided to have the Tow Bar check out just to be on the safe side. I boxed it up and shipped it back to NSA for inspection. They inspected it and repaired as needed and shipped it back for free. Very good service, plus NSA is a USA company with products made in the USA. Hats off to the crew at NSA for a great product and awesome service. Coach Cottle

I pull my 2010 Jeep Wrangler with my 31 foot Class C RV. Worked perfectly as advertised, the Ready Brake is impressive on how well it works. Interstate, rolling hills, and some pretty crappy roads along the way and this system is awesome!! A pure and simple mechanical system that you set up and adjust once and you're done! Hookup takes minutes! Unhooking takes even less. And a hell of a lot cheaper than the box brakes by Roadmaster and the like!
