What is the Most Portable Supplemental Braking System for Multiple Toad Vehicles
Question:
We sometimes deliver trailers, towing two to the destination and flat towing one truck home behind the other truck. We are thinking of adding supplemental braking for the towed vehicle. The question, Is one of these systems more portable than the others? We have 5 Chevy pickups and any two could be the pair on a given trip. I need a system that could be moved into each combination easily. Any thoughts? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
Absolutely, the Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System part # BLU37TR will be the best supplemental braking system for your needs. It is extremely easy to use and can be setup on almost any vehicle. This is one of my favorite supplemental braking systems as it is made right here in the U.S.A. and comes with a 2-year warranty.
A few additional items that will help when adapting to different vehicles is the seat stiffener part # BRK2503 and the extension rod part # BRK2502. There is not another supplemental braking system on the market to my knowledge that can be easily transfer from one vehicle to another quicker than the Blue Ox Patriot. You may also want to consider the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights part # TL21RK for the toad vehicles lights.
