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.

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.
Dennis
Best value around, well built!
Peter
All I can add is same experience as all the others have said. It’s a great simple system that works great.
Brian
I had mine coming on ten years and as you described simple, effective, & safe yet cost effective. No external power, vacuum or air pressure required for normal operation. Just connect the cable from the bar to the toad and your brake ready to head out. And don't for get to buy a break away kit.

Very easy to use and hooks up better than most. It is worth every cent. It is the best tow bar for the money since for only a couple hundred more than the Blue Ox. ... Most tow bars require a separate braking system to the tune of $1K+ but this one has a cable based system that works just fine and meets the standards of the states that require a braking system. This tow bar is heavy duty, precision machined and well made! The integrated surge brake system enables the towed-vehicle (the "toad") brakes to be activated via a mechanical cable within a cable sleeve easily routed and installed through the toad's firewall and attached to the brake pedal. This provides simple, robust, secure, and proportional braking for the towed vehicle.

Perfect. Worked Wonderfully.
