Our Ready Brake is the most simple and effective auxiliary braking system on the market today. This tried-and-true system is compatible with any hitch-mounted tow bar and virtually any tow vehicle. The ready brake is a hitch-mounted surge brake that provides instant and fully proportional braking to your toad vehicle. The Ready Brake does not rely on electronic components that can fail. This is a purely mechanical solution that delivers proportional braking to your toad vehicle. The Ready Brake also includes a dash light that turns on when the brakes on the toad are applied. The Ready Brake will help you avoid the high cost and complications associated with other “brake in a box” and “progressive braking” systems. Once installed, attaching and detaching the system is very fast and simple. Please contact us if you have any questions about our Ready Brake system! 

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.

Each system comes complete with:

  • The ReadyBrake fits into a 2" Receiver hitch
  • Proportional and reliable surge braking 
  • New for 2025- Our braking system is now even easier to install!  Drilling a small hole in the firewall is no longer necessary. 
  • Adjustable sling cable
  • Internal cable w/conduit and conduit floor mount
  • Brake pedal brackets
  • Easy-to-read instructions
  • DL-300 Tow Brake Dash Monitor System
  • Made in the U.S.A. with a Lifetime Warranty.

Occasionally, knockoff NSA products have appeared on Amazon.  We will not extend our lifetime warranty to these items made in China.   

Highly Recommended add-on product: Our Ready Stop breakaway protection– This will stop the toad in a breakaway event and is needed to tow legally in many States and Canada.


Vehicle note: For the Ford C-Max hybrid Energi you must pull fuse #9 to disconnect the vacuum pump. In testing, this fixes this car's problem and makes it towable with the Ready Brake.

A supplemental tow brake and breakaway device is required by law in most States and Provinces when towing a vehicle 4 wheels down.

This Ready Brake will work with any tow bar with a 2-inch receiver.

The Ready Brake System has a Lifetime Guarantee! 


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.

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.
