TowTether fixes a common towing mistake by giving the breakaway cable its own attachment point, instead of looping it around whatever is closest at the hitch. It takes the guesswork out of your hookup and keeps safety consistent every time you tow.
Most towing setups leave you guessing where the breakaway cable should clip. TowTether removes that question by giving the cable its own, independent attachment point on the tow vehicle. You clip to the same spot every time and move on, knowing that part of the setup is settled.
The breakaway system only matters if the trailer actually separates. TowTether keeps the brake cable anchored to the vehicle frame instead of relying on the hitch or safety chains, so the brakes can activate even if those parts fail at the same time.
Installation takes a few minutes and no extra tools. Loop the cable around the vehicle frame, tighten the stainless clamp with the included Allen wrench, and clip in your breakaway cable. It's an easy upgrade that quietly improves how your whole towing setup works.

Narrator 1 Do you struggle to properly hook up a trailer (subtle groovy music) Let's walk through the essential components of towing safety. First, lower the trailer's hitch onto the tow ball and make sure it's secure. (subtle groovy music) Next, cross the safety chains beneath the coupler and attach them to the designated connection points on your vehicle, ensuring that the safety hook is in its proper orientation. (subtle groovy music) Then, plug in the trailer lights to ensure your brake and turn signals work correctly. (subtle groovy music) Now let's talk about one of the most overlooked pieces of this setup, the breakaway cable. This cable is designed to activate your trailer's brakes if it disconnects from your vehicle, helping prevent serious injury or even death.
(subtle groovy music) But here's the problem, where do you attach it (subtle groovy music) Most vehicles don't have a dedicated attachment point. So, what do people do Some people clip it on the safety chains, which is not correct. Other people wrap it around the hitch ball, which is also wrong. Some people don't even use it at all. This is the most dangerous option of all.
Let's be clear. None of these options are safe or legal. TowTether is the only commercially available solution to this problem. Just loop the TowTether around your hitch frame, secure it with the included hardware, and position it where it works best for your setup. Now you've got a dedicated, clearly marked, secure spot to clip your breakaway cable every time.
Simple, effective, low cost. Breakaway cables save lives when used correctly, and TowTether makes it easy to use them the right way. Narrator 2 To install, loop the cable around the hitch frame.
