You are absolutely looking at the right systems. There are tons of them out there, but many of them have heavy and cumbersome things that need to be added (extra boxes that need to be secured in place each time you hook up) and removed each time you set them up or take them down. What you need to be considering is how much time and complexity do you have to deal with each time you hook up or drop the toad. The AF1 (and although I have never used the M&G) have consistently been rated and advocated as the top products on the market with minimum fuss and problem in their use. I have personally been using the DEMCO Excalibur -II towbar which is a 10,000 pound rated bar on my ~ 3,500 pound Honda. No signs of wear or any problems. Also has a very convenient thing which I have seen on no other tow bar ..... a stainless steel bar on the side of the tow bar that you mount the pig tailed electrical cord to the toad when not hooked up. That is VERY convenient! The power cord is always right where you need it when connecting. Very nice. The Air Force 1 is brain dead easy to connect. Connect air line to coach and Honda fittings (30 seconds) and connect the “break-away” line from coach hitch to AF1 loop on toad (15 seconds) and you are ready to go..... could not be easier.
You’ll see more AF1s in use than any other system .... JMHO
