The only one, we've every had and has been completely trouble free. It's Alum. with an 8K lb. rating and feel that it's the most simple and best bang for the buck, as well. Easy DIY install, as well.
With descending some steep areas of the Rockies, I noticed it depressing the toad's brake pedal and even though I hadn't touched the Coach brakes. This simply because, it was catching up to the Coach and do like it's operation.
No riding of the toad's brakes is possible, since it releases as soon as the toad slows and is no longer trying to catch up to the Coach.

Another happy user here - about 15k miles so far - opted for NSA based on recommendations from sites like this one - very pleased!

Just ordered my RBE towbar yesterday off Amazon for my 2018 Jeep JK. I already installed the Rock Hard aluminum bumper so going to connect directly to the Blue Ox tow brackets I mounted with the bumper. Assume there are no issues with doing the brake tie-in routing myself? Not much of a car guy myself but can do the basics. Also need to figure out which wiring harness to buy. Anyone towing a Jeep have a preference? Thanks.

COOLTECH for the JK Wrangler, hands down!.... JK Tow Harness Deluxe Kit - CoolTechLLC
I'm using a DEMCO baseplate and there is no pull on the bumper at all, as it slips in behind the frame plates, so the bolts do nothing except for keeping it intact and so it won't fall off.

I'm focusing in on a Kia Soul as a toad (2700 lbs). Anyone install the Ready Break Elite on a late model Kia Soul stick shift? I'm wondering whether drilling the hole through the firewall has any alignment issues with brake pedal or routing issues with the cable to the front bumper? With any braking system the power brakes will not be operational so do these braking system just apply larger than normal forces on the brake pedal?

Not familiar with a Kia and only a Wrangler, but the brakes will work, regardless of power. It's no strain and no pain for the cable.
Shouldn't have a problem getting up front with it either and there's always a way.
If the cable gives you a little leeway, try and line it up with the pedal's swing angle, although it'll work, however.
Best system out there for simplicity and bang for the buck IMO.
