Recommended Easy-to-Use Supplemental Braking System for Flat-Towed 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Question:
what's the best flat tow braking system? I want one that will be easy for my wife to install when she flat tows the truck to Florida. Nothing too complicated. We have all the other items we need like tow bar, etc.

Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty the flat towing braking system I recommend is Blue Ox's Patriot part # BLU37TR. This proportional system will slow the truck at the same rate that the motorhome slows down, reducing that tug-of-war feeling. Since it features wireless installation placing it in the truck for towing is a simple process. And it is fully-portable between vehicles.
The linked video will further illustrate the Blue Ox Patriot and the two article will give you complete background on flat towing and braking systems.
