Product Description

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 the Ready Brake.

    Nice product
    I did not buy the complete system as I had functional blue ox tow bar so I purchased only the surge brake receiver insert. I modified my hitch by drilling a second hole to shorten how much hitch stuck out of the surge brake, I also cut 3/4" off my hitch so it wouldn't hit the internal brake.Customer service was helpful as I did talk to them several times.I waited to review until I had actually real road experience.I purchased this over the permanently installed unit as there are no electrical or pneumatic parts to fail it appealed to my practical side. Installing on my 2004 jeep wrangler was easy enough even with my modifications, I didn't like the plastic tube at the front as I was worried it would wear so I welded 2 tabs to the brake pedal so I could detach the cables for everyday driving. More secure the the original mounting.I had the roadmaster brake pro which parts were not available and it was a pain.NOWAt the park I quickly disconnect and set up the RV, easy peasy.It took only a 8 minutes to fully disconnect and stow the complete system ( surge brake and hitch, cables, safety cables and tow bar) in the RV, my old system was easily more time just the get the brake pro disconnected and out.For brake lights I use the the vehicle pedal actuated lights as in a brake away situation they will work, I also carry a bike rack on the jeep which has lights I connected them to the RV for turn and brake lights.
