trabuco Report post Posted April 24, 2012 I'm sure this has been brought up in the past but I thought I'd bring it up again. It's along the line of the Ford vs Chevy debate. I'm looking for opinions on tow bars. Don't need the latest greatest, just a good tow bar easy to connect and disconnect. I'll be towing a 2012 Honda CRV. Any opinions are welcome. I'll also need a brake system. I've been looking at the Air Force, Invisibrake and US Gear. Pros/cons or opinions. Any feedback would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bizsmith@yahoo.com Report post Posted April 25, 2012 It all comes down to research and making a decision. We have Roadmaster and have no real complaints. I can't give a comparison as that is all we have used for13+ years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCM123 Report post Posted June 4, 2012 I just set up my 2012 CRV with a BlueOX baseplate and am in the process of installing a US Gear braking system. I have used the Blueox towbar for over 10 years (3 coaches and now 3 toads). The US Gear I used last year on a Corolla - best braking system ever. My Brake Buddy is now on the shelf.

jerryj Report post Posted June 4, 2012 Also Blue Ox (Aventa LX) and US Gear (Unified Tow) for our 07 Honda CRV awd. There are many other good choices out there though at various prices and conveniences of use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JacknKay Report post Posted June 12, 2012 We have a Roadmaster baseplate on our 95 Honda Accord. The towbar is a Blue Ox Aladdin. I bought the towbar long before I got around to adding the baseplate to the car. We use an Invisabrake system for stopping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nalcon Report post Posted June 20, 2012 Used Blue OX for three years with 2010 CRV. Very happy with it. No braking system yet, we only drive in Texas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
