I used the brake away kit and thank heaven havent found out that it works which means the car didnt break away from the rv.



by:

Great price & was exactly what we needed.
We
have purchased several items from etrailer and learn a lot from their demos & installation videos.
Keep up the great work!



by:

This is the third time I’ve ordered from etrailer.com and as with the previous orders they kept me informed of my orders location during shipment. They make it easy to purchase needed trailer parts and accessories.



by:

It works--saved our Jeep Wrangler. This is a must with the Blue Ox system--it gets the highest rating possible.



by:

replacement for the one i left in my car i recently sold
still have to install it, but its a simple thing



by:

This will be installed on a alternate tow vehicle. Packaged well



by:

Worked perfect for my 2015 Jeep Overlan d.



by:

Good matching replacement part



by:

5 stars for fast turnaround! Not much to say about the product though till its installed and tested. Not much to it.



by:

These kits have everything that you need and easy to follow installation instructions



by:

Easy to wire up and seems to work as advertised, although fortunately I’ve never had a situation where it was actually activated.



by:

Works perfectly at its intended job. Sturdy & durable. Plus the added etrailer benefit of unmatched support and guidance after the sale that you won't find any place else. Thanks etrailer.



by:

Works great. The length just barely makes it to the braking module when we used the wire chase. We have maybe 2-3 inches of wiggle room for our 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. The blue ox baseplate attachment for the braking system was located on the passenger side so we had to route it across the front first before routing it to the driver side well.



by:

The work you did on my car was great. Appreciate your service and reasonable costs.



by:

Great product, the pin that goes into Patriot break could be stronger.



by:

I haven't installed it yet but I sure it will be fine. You guys do a great job. My one stop shopping for all my towing needs.



by:

SO DEPENDABLE. Great,fast service. .



by:

Looks to be a quality part, I have not installed yet but lots 100%

by:

Great service.



by:

by:

Shocked at prompt 2 Day delivery! Thanks so much



by:

We can always depend on service and quality of the products.



by:

Good service and knowledgable crew. Items are good quality.



by:

Easy install, just mount it, run the wire to the break operator, plug it in and you’re good to go!

  • Will Optronics LED Magnetic Tow Lights Protect Against Scratching 2018 Ford Fiesta SE Paint?
    The Optronics Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit - Weatherproof - Red Lens - 20' Wiring Harness - Qty 2 # TLL21RK has a protective label pad on the bottom to keep from scratching paint. You can see this at the 2 minute mark of the attached review video. I do recommend wiping down the vehicle with a microfiber cloth before putting the lights on simply to remove any dust or debris that could be abrasive between the scratch free label and the paint for added security.

  • Tow Bar Lighting Recommendation for Chevy Equinox
    The only other electrical item you would need to flat tow your Equinox would be a lighting solution Eddie. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

  • Can Stay-In-Play DUO Braking System Be Removed and Installed on Different Vehicle?
    The RV service rep was not speaking the truth. The SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO Supplemental Braking System # SM99251 can be removed and installed on another vehicle. You simply need to remove the parts from the vacuum lines and replace with couplers and hose. Other than that, you just remove the parts and reinstall them on your new vehicle. The rep was probably trying to lead you towards another very good and viable option like the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System - Proportional # BLU37TR...

  • Replacement Break Away Switch Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking System
    I'm assuming you have a Blue Ox Patriot Braking System like the # BLU37TR. If that's the case, you'll need part # BRK2505 which includes the break away switch, the coiled lanyard and the wiring harness that connects the switch to the brake unit. I've linked to a video showing a typical install.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2013 Chevy Suburban
    We can certainly help with that. The replacement breakaway switch kit is part # BRK2505, witch includes the breakaway switch, the coiled lanyard and the power cable that plugs into the Patriot II Supplemental Braking System. The top fangs are available as a replacement part as # BLU34FR. For a base plate, use # BX1676 (assuming your Suburban is a 1500 model) and for a wiring option, I'd recommend the # RM-15267 Diode kit. According to my research, your Suburban is capable of being flat...

  • Can a Universal Breakaway Switch Be Used with Blue Ox Patriot Braking System
    The Blue Ox Patriot Braking Systems like part # BLU37TR all use a proprietary breakaway switch so you must use one from Blue Ox, the Second Vehicle Breakaway Kit for Blue Ox Patriot Supplemental Braking Systems part # BRK2505 which also comes with the lead. It's more expensive than a universal breakaway but your only option if you want to stick with the Patriot.

    First you'll need a base plate kit/adapter for both vehicles. For the 2010 Wrangler with an off-road bumper that has 1 inch D-rings you'd need the part # RM-035-1 and then for the 2017 F-250 you'd need the # RM-524452-5. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Blackhawk part # RM-422. This has non-binding arms which makes the setup very...

    It sounds like you are looking for the replacement breakaway power cord for the Blue Ox Patriot which we offer with the part # BLU99UR. Or if you wanted the entire breakaway setup you'd want the part # BRK2505. I don't have a diagram but the red wire of the switch has 12 volts and the white wire is ground.

    You will be able to use your Blue Ox braking system and tow bar but you will need new base plates. The 2013 and 2018 Ford Edge SEL use different base plate designs. Base plates # BX2657 work with SEL models that do not have Active Cruise Control or the 2.0 EcoBoost motor. And they will not fit models with the Driver Assist Package.

  • How To Mount A Breakaway Switch When The Baseplate Doesn't Have A Mounting Point
    Typically if the baseplate doesn't have a nice spot to mount the breakaway we just screw it into the fascia using the small bracket that comes on the switch. If we're needing to space it out a bit we typically use a bracket like # 18140 and will still just screw the bracket somewhere into the fascia. When it comes to this type of installation there really isn't a right way to do it, so you'll just want to use your best judgement and will possibly need to make some alterations to the bracket...
