    Going back Country Coach Affinity, out of business, Saturn toad, out of business, Blue Ox still in business. Sure know how to pick-em.

    I like the Blue OX, easy to hook up and go.

    I have the Roadmaster all terrain 10,000 LB with the M&G brake system and it has worked perfect.

    I must join Jack14r as to what I have, and yes, it has worked perfect for me.

    I now use the heavier steel tow bar from BlueOx towing a Yukon or Ford Pickup. I started out with an aluminum BlueOx towbar, towing a Saturn. Had a failure right before I entered I-65 in Mobile, Al. Luckily I was not going fast and got it under control without any damage. BlueOx was great on their service. They wanted the tow bar back for inspection and gave me a new steel towbar with all new accessories as a replacement. Had good luck with the steel towbar over the years pulling heavier vehicles.

    We use the Blue Ox Aventa dragging a custom 2005 PT Cruiser and absolutely LOVE it! No muss - no fuss - effortless hook-ups and disconnects with a very discreet baseplate configuration that makes it almost impossible to tell that the car is set up for towing unless you look really close. We like that, because as a former custom show car, it's nice that the Blue Ox set up doesn't really detract from the appearance of the front bumper/grill! We also use the "Wireless Tow Lights" and think it's an unbeatable combination with the Blue OX Aventa both aesthetically and operationally!

    Ditto jack14r and rahangman. Our Roadmster Sterling works perfectly, and it is one handsome piece of engineering.

    Thanks to all again, and to Steve Bennett for his Demco suggestions. Pete, I looked at M&G; I will contact you via PM.

    Ken,
    I would reiterate Pete's suggestion on the M&G Braking System. I use it on our Wrangler and it works great, easy to hook up and since your in Texas its an easy trip over to Athens to have them install it for you.
