Supplemental Breaking System Recommendation for Flat Towing 2009 Toyota Matrix
Question:
Greetings, I have a 2014 Itasca Solei by Winnebago. Ive ordered the baseplate and towbar for my tow vehicle 2009 Toyota Matrix S. I realize I need a supplemental breaking system but not sure where to start. I dont see any Air or Air Over Hydraulic Brake connections in the rear of the RV. Is this something you can help with? Looking for a recommendation. Thanks

I have a great solution for you that won't require you to mess with any air lines and will install very easily.
The easiest system to set up and use is the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR, that applies the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.
I attached an install video that shows how it would install in a similar vehicle plus a help article on tow bar braking options as well.
