Hercules 12,000 lb. Complete Tow Bar Kit (Integrated Braking System included)
The Hercules complete tow package includes everything you need to tow behind your RV for $500 to $1500 less than the competition. We bundle all the vehicle-specific parts you'll need (Baseplate, light wiring) with our best-in-class tow bar which comes fully integrated with our Ready Brake straight out of the box. 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. For over 25 years NSA has been making top-quality tow products in the USA. Our tow bars have every feature you'd expect in a premium tow bar (non-binding, telescoping arms, easy hookup, and stow). Our surge braking system is purely mechanical and doesn't rely on any electronic component that can fail. Once installed, the Ready Brake is extremely simple to use; no box to move or calibrate– just attach a cable and you are ready to tow.
New for 2025: An improved system for routing our surge braking cable!
The cable no longer needs to be routed through the firewall which could be complicated for some vehicles. The cable now routes through the floorboard of your tow vehicle for a much cleaner and simpler install for any tow vehicle. This improved design now comes standard with any 2-in-1 tow bars and the Ready Brake.
This package includes:
- Our Hercules Tow Bar (12,000 lb capacity, non-binding, easy hookup)
- Our Ready Brake Braking System
- Sturdy Aluminum Construction
- New for 2025- Our braking system is now even easier to install! Drilling a small hole in the firewall is no longer necessary.
- Blue Ox Baseplate and clevises
- Our Break Away kit (This will stop the tow car in an accident or breakaway situation)
- Universal LED Tail Light Wiring (UTL 1000)
- Other lighting options (diode kit or a bulb and socket kit)
- A Turnbuckle for adjusting brake cable tension
- The dl-100 in-dash monitoring system
- A cover for the tow bar and a tote bag
- All purchases have a 30-day no-questions-asked return window
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!

Works as expected, the adjustable and locking arms make the tow bar easy to use. Breaking system works perfectly.

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.

All I can add is same experience as all the others have said. It’s a great simple system that works great.
Rich
Great price for a tow bar and brake combined.
Anthony
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.
