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!

Please add your tow vehicle details to the order notes and one of our towing experts will reach out to you 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.

Very well built.

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.

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!

Bruce

We thought we were having some problems with our brute elite and on our way home from Texas to Minnesota decided to make a stop there to have them check it out. We were blown away by how responsive they were and went through our tow bar within an hour. Then they talked to us about what problems we thought we had. What a great team!! If we had any doubts about NSA we sure don’t now and will recommend them to all our toads friends! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

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.

Pablo

This towbar is awesome. It was easy to set up. I used it to tow my 94 Jeep Wrangler over 3,000 miles behind a class A RV. It was completely problem free and easy to use the whole way. I love the simple brake cable that relies on simple physics to make the tow vehicle brakes engage when the RV brakes engage. It worked great through steep mountain passes!
