This Ready Brute Elite II complete tow package includes everything you need to tow behind your RV for $500 to $1500 less than other brands. We bundle all the vehicle-specific parts you'll need with our best-in-class aluminum tow bar which comes fully integrated with our Ready Brake braking system 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, and corrosion resistance). 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:
-
- The Ready Brute Elite II Tow Bar (8,000 lb capacity, non-binding, easy hookup)
- The Ready Brute Elite II tow bar comes with our Ready Brake auxiliary braking system fully integrated with the tow bar
- A vehicle-specific baseplate: Blue Ox or Roadmaster
- Tow bar clevises, to attach to the baseplate you selected
- Our Break Away kit (This will stop the tow car in an accident or breakaway situation)

IMPORTANT NOTES: THE PRICE OF THIS FLAT TOWING KIT INCLUDES THE ATTACHMENT CLEVIS AND A NEW BASEPLATE OF YOUR CHOICE. CURRENT BASEPLATE 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 BARS TO TOW-GRADE AFTERMARKET BUMPERS BUT THEY WILL NEED A SPECIAL CLEVIS AND YOU'LL NEED TO CONTACT US SO WE CAN GET MEASUREMENTS AND GET YOU A QUOTE.
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT COME WITH THE KIT, CONTACT US AND WE CAN GET YOU AN UPDATED QUOTE.
THE "CLEVISES" ARE THE ENDS OF THE TOW BAR THAT HOOK UP TO THE BASEPLATE YOU ARE USING.
Please add your tow vehicle details to the order notes and one of our flat-towing experts will reach out to you by phone or email before shipping your order. This way we can make 100% sure we send you the correct vehicle-specific parts.

We purchased an NSA Brute Ready Brake Tow Bar System in late 2018 to flat tow our 1999 Jeep TJ, The kit came with everything we needed to connect and flat tow our Jeep. It features emergency break-a-way stoping system, braking, quick connect lights, safety cables. The kit was very easy to install. We're based in Florida we've used this system to tow safely all over the United States, over twenty-five thousand miles with no issues. Because we're planning a few long trips we decided to have the Tow Bar check out just to be on the safe side. I boxed it up and shipped it back to NSA for inspection. They inspected it and repaired as needed and shipped it back for free. Very good service, plus NSA is a USA company with products made in the USA. Hats off to the crew at NSA for a great product and awesome service. Coach Cottle

This thing is great. I researched tow bars and supplemental brake systems before deciding on this due to the mechanical brake, ease of setup and cost. Immediately upon install we towed a Jeep Patriot from Colorado to Alaska and back with a Class C and system worked great. Couldn't be happier.

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!

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!
