Blue Ox Patriot Brake System

[JIMJAK]

Okay, I'm ready to purchase a brake system for the Toad. Does anyone have first-hand experience with the Patriot system by Blue Ox? I'm torn between that one and the Air Force One system, but the install seems much easier on the Blue Ox.

Thanks for your help. JIMJAK

I'm using it and have no complaints. I've also heard good things about the other model too.

I'll let you know next week! Have a Patriot sitting in the living room and will have the baseplate & electrical stuff installed on the Jeep next week...

Just finished a 3200 mile trip towing my 2010 Wrangler with the Patriot system...The Patriot worked fine, no real issues....(Bought it by the way from an RV place in Oregon for about $825.00......Cheapest I had found )....

I did have trouble on occasion gettting the Patriot box itself to set up and "pass" its initialization phase (self-check)....I believe it was operator error being I am new to this brand.....After setting it up a dozen times I got better and it got easier....

A couple of times, early on in the trip, I got error messages in the MH and pulled over to set the unit back up from scratch and all worked well......

Thanks for the feedback. It looks like I'll go with this unit too. BTW, I've found it on the Internet for around $870.00 shipping included.
