Blue OxBRK2022 Patriot Flat Tow Brake

This break unit is easy to install and use in our Towed "Toad" Wrangler. Only made on trip with it so far and that went well.

Should have read the instructions first. Routing the breakaway switch wiring was the hard part, which was very easy. The only issue I had was the unit going offline when I hit a really bad expansion joint on the interstate, had to stop and reset it even though the actuator hadn’t moved.

Blue Ox Patriot brake assist unit is clearly a quality unit and once installed works very well. I am especially impressed with the smooth braking. Set unit, for first run, at "3" - too light - moved to "4" and we're good to go. Penetrating the firewall was dicey and I spent several hours finding and drilling a 1/2" hole and adding a rubber groment. Working under the dash was VERY tight - you need to remove hood hinge and finish panel on a 2011 Frod Ranger. I'm probably a good shade tree mechanic and for me tight quarters was the biggest problem.

Bought this to replace our Breakbuddy system. So far, the quality and use is like night and day. I feel so much safer now, knowing that brake assist is there for not only the routine braking, but the emergency needs too..

I had a Roadmaster Even brake that failed after 5 years. I was going to buy another Even brake but, decided to try a blue ox patriot brake. This was so much lighter, and a lot easier to set up than the even brake. Most of all I can put the remote monitor in the dash of my 34 feet motor home. The Roadmaster remote monitor, I have to leave it at the back of my MH because it would not communicate with the even brake in the towed vehicle.I would have rated it 5 star but I only has 1 time use.

Right out of the box this worked just fine, Bit hard to get set up, but after using it the adjustment are really finicky. It works really well and the blue tooth remove that in the motor home controls and shows what going on in the jeep, but it's just really hard to get it set up just right. Maybe a bit more practice! Maybe some more detailed examples on how to set it up in the jeep would be helpful.

I will update if anything changes but so far no issues. I've used the Blue Ox BRK2022 for about 1,500 miles flat towing my vehicle and have found it easy to set-up and remove. The controller was easy to use as well. Read the directions so you can learn to set your brake force to your liking using the controller. I set my force to 3. It only takes me about 1 or 2 min to install and less than that to remove.

Lite weight, easy setup, seems to work great.I have it in my Ram 2500 pick up that I flat tow behind my class a motor home.Highly recommended

Quick and easy to setup and use for flat towing

Only issue is the lack of feet in the front.
