Thanks all...........also for the condolences.
Jacobsnc, we have been on short trips (35 miles or less) on several occasions so it is a little hard to give a complete answer about pulling the Jeep. But, having said that the Jeep is barely noticeable. When approaching a hill, I plan ahead with some slight acceleration. Tranny and engine work very well in keeping my speed up.
Roadmaster base plate
Ready Brute Elite towbar and brake combo is the set up we had installed. I had a referral by a friend to a local dealer that carries these in stock. They install quite a few and the install was flawless. I had read about different systems and there are many on the market that do the job.
I particularly wanted the surge brake system primarily because I did not want to have to set up and dismantle something in the floor of the jeep every time I hooked/unhooked. And, there are no electronics being used in the Jeep while we are enroute. Brake, turn & running lights work off the MH electronics.
You and I have been on threads together previously. Seems you had some issues that needed to be resolved...........everything going well?
Enjoy
