Toad vehicle braking, what do you use ?

I have been towing my Jeep Liberty for many years without a toad vehicle braking system and have had no issues. We are looking to tour the midwest and think maybe I should invest in something. What system is everyone using and which ones are better than others?

Behind a bus,, the only choice is M&G air over hydraulic system,, it works particularly well with a Liberty..  I have had it on two Liberty's..  ( A 2002, first year for the Liberty and 2012, the last year for the Liberty.)>>>Dan

NSA cable surge brake. Works great.
Scanzel -

I agree with Dave - I have the same company's unit. Definitely uses the KISS principle compared to the majority of other systems out there.  Relatively inexpensive, too! Here's the link:

There's been so much typed on this already...

The forums are searchable a lot better than the (profanity deleted) social media...

happy coaching!

M&G air over hydraulic - progressive towed braking at it's best with towed reserve air tank for break away protection.
Heaven forbid your towed causes an accident or adds to the upset w/o active towed braking - your insurance company will walk away.

Easy, quick hook-up. Just two cables in addition to hooking up with no brake system. Has break away system to apply the brakes in case the toad gets away.

I like the Surge Brake idea. Have been looking for something simple

M & G for sure. No moving anything around each time you tow. Used it for 30+ years.
