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:
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.

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 my 1st Ready Brute from NSA in 2006. We pulled a Saturn Vue and later a Ford Edge. I just replaced with a new "Elite" a couple months ago. There was nothing wrong with the old equipment, it performed flawlessly from day 1. I find the brake system to be less invasive than some of the other forms of aux brake. Also very easy to set up a new vehicle to tow. Yes I would recommend.

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.

I couldn't be happier with this product. Far better that the separate braking systems for inside the tow car. Everything works as advertised. Easy to use and functions superbly.

Ready Brute Elite works so well. Easy to attach, strong with a durable finish, instruction easy to follow and well written. Another great product of the USA. Workmanship is simply the best! Hats off to American manufacturing, well done.
