Thanks Mike,

Here's the unit I have http://www.roadmaster-tow-bars.com/blackhawk.html

So, it has this big back cross brace. Are you saying I won't need that if I get an MX brace? It seems that the only brace listed for the Honda Civic Hybrid is the EZ model.

Do you have external braking on yours?
