Hercules RV Tow Bar (With Braking System)
More than just a towbar, the Hercules RV Tow Bar combines our aircraft-grade aluminum towbar with our revolutionary ReadyBrake™ supplemental surge tow braking system. With 12,000 pounds of towing capacity, this RV Towbar will work well with most towable vehicles from the smallest compact car to a full-size truck. The Hercules RV Tow Bar is equipped with new non-binding T-latches and it's a breeze to hook and unhook, even on uneven surfaces. Also, since the clevis connectors can rotate and swivel, you'll find this tow bar is even easier to unhook than other non-binding tow bars.
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.

Another happy user. Only problem I had was self-induced. Simple and it works.

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!

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!

Purchased this from a recommendation on YouTube. Did my research of every system out there and settled on NSA RV as they are American made and a local builder. The people on the phone were fantastic and super helpful Make sure you ask if there are any additional parts needed for your set up. I had this installed on a 2025 Ram 1500 and pulled behind a Newmar Dutchstar. My last trip I was halfway home when I found out my battery was dead and my breaks were completely fried. The cause of this was, that when the system was installed by LEONARD TRUCK OUTFITTERS, they did not completely follow the instructions properly. After speaking with the owner ofLEONARD TRUCK OUTFITTERS, he said it was not his fault and would not accept any responsibility. I spoke with Todd - Owner of NSA RV, and he agreed that it is a 100% install issue. With that, Todd helped me with half of my brake bill. He is truly a stand up guy. He also spoke to the installer to let him know the problem is on there side and should also take care of there side. LEONARD TRUCK OUTFITTERS said it is not at all their problem. DO NOT USE LEONARD TRUCK OUTFITTERS FOR ANYTHING. Make sure you purchase from NSA RV as they stand behind there products better than any other company I have dealt with. I would fully endorse Todd and his company and, if I ever need to purchase this again, I will not go any where else for any amount of money.

I've had my ReadyBrute since 2007 and towed my Jeep Cherokee about 50K miles with it. I really like it. I live in Colorado and constantly traverse steep grades. It has always worked flawlessly. It brakes just the right amount...never to much and never too little. I've actually towed the Jeep more miles than I have driven it over that time!

The Hercules tow bar system work great couldn’t be happier. It’s easy to use and the surge brake works really well. I installed it myself with no problems.
