I have towed two cars tens of thousands of miles with a Ready Brute tow bar. It works great. NSA sell different tabs for all the baseplate companies so you can get a baseplate from whoever you want. One toad was connected to our coach parked on the side of the road and we were struck in the rear by a car. It caused $7K damage to the toad and bent the heck out of the tow bar. NSA rebuilt the tow bar (basically it was new) for a very fair price and it was back way before the car was done.

Yes Bill,
We have that very same system and have used it for over 18 months now and have towed our truck 4 down well over 12K miles.
It is a fabulous system. Easy to hook up and unhook. It has worked flawlessly. Do the math and you will see that it is the most economical way to get a good lightweight tow bar and still have a very useful braking system. PM me if you have any specific questions.

Yessir, Bbilly. That's the one we have; works great. One stop shopping for tow bar / brakes / break away brake et all.

I have the Ready Brute and love it. I bought directly from Night Shift Auto online. Todd was very helpful in making sure I got the right equipment for my application. I paid less than half of what Camping World wanted for their least expensive towing set up.
